Best Features of Android Pie

Android Pie is packed with amazing features and there are too many to be listed. However, this post lists the new features of Android Pie that will make you go gaga over this Android version. Following are these features:

1. Digital Wellbeing

If you think you spend too much time on your smartphone, you are right because you actually do. However, Android P will help you stay connected and manage your time which is spent uselessly on the phone.

The ‘digital wellbeing’ feature of the Android Pie will set limits on your time spent on mobile. There is a Wind-Down feature which turns on another ‘Do not disturb’ feature which starts fading the mobile screen and reduces the blue light as soon as bedtime approaches. The dashboard of this feature also shows how much time you’ve spent on each app and allows you to set timers too. 

2. New Home Button

The biggest change that the Android OS has seen with this version is that the little square at the right-hand corner has disappeared. Now there is a long pill shaped icon present at the center-bottom of the screen and it represents the home button. You can view the recent apps by swiping up and swiping on the right of the home button will allow you to switch apps.

3. App Actions

Android Pie uses an adaptive technology and it learns through your habit of using apps. The OS will analyze how and why you use your apps and then give suggestions accordingly. For example, it can suggest where you left while you were listening to music or notify you if you have an unprocessed transaction. The App Actions feature works on the prediction method and give you suggestions according to the time of the day.

4. Revamped Screenshots

This is a smart upgrade of Android P and it has changed the way of taking screenshots. The previous method of taking screenshots is a bit daunting but this Android OS offers an easy method. You just have to press hold the power button and select the screenshot option that appears on the screen, and voila you’re done saving a screenshot.

5. Adaptive Battery

Another new and useful feature of Android P is of the adaptive battery. This feature prioritizes the apps according to your app habits so that lesser battery is drained out of the phone. This can save a good amount of battery and improve the battery life altogether. 

As far as prepaid mobile plans go, you have the option of choosing some flagships with Android P. Do check them out.
