Android 16 may come before expected. Because Android 16’s developer preview 1 was launched in November 2024. If we talk about the release timing, Android 16 can come officially in Google IOS or it can come by June.
Android 16
This time, Google can launch its Pixel 10 series earlier than the iPhone. So yes, these are some things going on.
Looking at this, I can tell you that Android 16 is going to come here very soon. But this time, there is a very important change with Android 16.
And that is, Google is developing Android 16 privately.
Which means Google did this. What was the Android version before? They used to develop it themselves.
The changes were made in AOSP. Because of which, the latest features and latest things came in AOSP. B
y using this, you could see a lot of custom ROMs. Now what Google has done is that they will make a lot of things privately. And slowly, they will take out things in AOSP with some time. This means that they want to take a competitive advantage on Google.
In AOSP, which is an Android open source project, they will reduce the changes a lot. They will do it very slowly.
The impact of which may be there in the custom ROM department. And there may be another dangerous thing for custom ROMs.
Android 16 Features
But if we talk about Android 16, then there are many such features coming here. Which I will see that it is not ground-breaking. But yes, it is creating an advantage here.
They are making it better at the OS level. That is, you can’t think that your user interface will change completely. This is not going to happen.
Things will remain the same, but there will be a slight improvement in it.
So let’s see what features are being implemented in Android 16
Which you can expect in your future phones.
The first feature will be taken out of the live update. That is, you will be able to see live tracking in the notification. Which app is being tracked from where.
This is a very interesting feature. To a large extent, the inspiration for this feature was taken from the dynamic island of Apple.
But the live update feature will be a very solid feature in the notification.
That is, if you are ordering food, then you will gradually find out in the notification that how far your food is. S
o things like this. In addition to this, there will be multiple customization widgets in the lock screen.
If you get to see the options of different themes, then that will be one thing. Along with this, an interesting feature of health record integration is being added.
That is, if your health record can be integrated into Android. You can gather all the information related to your health in one place.
And can see, can analyze. This is a good feature.
Battery Health Feature
And more than health, the battery health feature has also been worked on. Which is being said that some pixels will be exclusive at this time.
Some features are also coming exclusively in Pixel 9a. But yes, how can battery health and battery health be better? This is also being worked on in Android 16.
Along with this, if you capture the HDR screenshot, then the HDR quality screenshot will finally be captured here.
An interesting feature has also been added to Bluetooth. That if you want to stream the same song through Bluetooth on multiple devices at the same time, then it will be possible.
Some features like this have been added by Realme. But now Android has brought it here natively. Along with this, a good feature maker is coming. Notification cool down. That is, have you ever run the internet once and got a lot of notifications? Now there will be no such problem.
All the notifications that will be there will not come. Only some important notifications will come first. After that, all the other useless notifications will come.
So put the notification cool down feature too.
So that you can focus on those things. Instead of those useless notifications that every other app keeps showing here. Along with this, an interesting feature is also coming for foldables.
Adaptive Apps
That will be of adaptive apps. Now if you see, there are many apps in the market. Which already work very well on foldable and normal screens.
But what is the problem with the majority of apps? If you are working in normal use, then it will work differently. But if you are working on a foldable screen.
Then you have to restart the whole app. This is not a restart problem. And the app will automatically adapt to the big screen.
This is how it will work here. Along with this, the advanced professional video codec. Its support is going to come here in Android. Talking about API enhancement.
There will be enhancements and improvements in the camera 2 API. Because of which you will be able to expect a better quality camera. Better video recording capabilities in Android phones.
And along with this, one of the best features is going to come. That is going to come related to security.
So that if any scammer is calling you. And is trapping you in the call. So that he can’t hack your phone while calling. This type of security features have been implemented.
Overall, these are some small things. In addition to this, the privacy dashboard has been changed.
How to update Android fast. Improvements have been made there
Widgets have been changed. Many more small changes have been made. Which seem to be a little minute level. But overall, I told you that these are some major changes. Which you will come here in Android 16.
Along with this, it means that in Android 16. This time the changes are a little less.
It will be like last year in the user interface. But some useful things have been integrated.
Android 16 Release Date
Android 16 will be released here in June this time. Because of which the companies can work in their phones. And be able to update your phone as soon as possible.
