Have you heard about the 17th Version of Android?!

The 17th version of the Android mobile operating system is the Android Q. The android version was released in August 2019. Android Q is packed with lots of user-friendly features that are aimed at enhancing the user experience. This also focuses on making the user experience more enjoyable and comfortable. Android Beam is the NFC peer-to-peer sharing method that lets Android users perform short-range exchange of data and this feature will not be available in the new Android Q. Android Pie had gesture-based navigation and android Q has taken it further. In android q the back button will be gone.

We all are aware of the fact that foldable screens are coming soon. Considering this fact Google made Android Q ready for this trend. The major thing this android Q has is the system-wide Dark Theme. Users are allowed to turn it on or off from the Quick Setting section. But the theme will be turned on upon switching to the battery saver mode. The most awesome thing is that Google now offers APIs for developers. This helps developers create their apps in a dark theme as well.
