Android users need to wait several months until the operating system provides updates. If you use Google Pixel, you immediately get updates to the latest version of Android.
Android One phones will also usually get updates faster. While waiting for your cellphone to be updated to the latest Android, let's look at the latest features that Google introduced through Android Pie.
Battery saving
Two new features to save battery can be found on Android Pie namely Adaptive Battery and Adaptive Brightness. Adaptive Battery uses machine learning techniques to estimate applications that will run in the future.
Android will prioritize this application and turn off applications that are not expected to be used. Adaptive Brightness works in a similar way, the cellphone will automatically dim the screen if you foresee it won't need it.
Privacy
With a comprehensive sensor circuit, the latest smart phones are vulnerable to abuse by rogue applications. For example, an application may tap using a microphone or camera without notification to the user.
On Android Pie, this is overcome by blocking application access to the mobile sensor in idle state. If you want to keep accessing the cellphone sensor, the application must display a notification to the user. At least the application will no longer be able to secretly tapping.
Dual Camera
Devices with dual cameras are not new anymore. Not only on flagship phones like Huawei P20 or Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, at this time middle-class cellphones like Nokia X5 (Nokia 5.1 Plus) also have it. However, previously there was no support at the operating system level from Google for this feature.
With Android Pie, Google includes support to make it easier for application makers to process data from more than one camera simultaneously. Cellphone makers at this time will more easily include features that are enabled by dual cameras, such as changes in focus, bokeh, or stereo images.
Position Tracking
Positioning systems used by smart phones usually use satellites, either GPS (United States), GLONASS (Russia), or both. But because the satellite signal cannot penetrate into the building, positioning in the room is not very accurate.
The solution is the use of Wi-Fi. By knowing the position of at least three access points, a smart phone can better determine its current position.
