After waiting for a little more than a year, Google has released the privacy-focused update for its mobile OS which we now know as Android 10. Yes, the search giant is done with using fancy dessert names for Android updates, given the reason that it might confuse the users is some parts of the world.
Anyway, the Android 10 comes mostly comes packed with privacy-related features. In terms of look and feel, it looks more like a polished version of Android Pie rather than a completely new Android update.
Still, in 2019, Google has managed to do enough work that we can call Android 10 a considerable update. And it isn’t just the software, Google is trying to change the identity of the decade-old mobile OS that runs on almost every smartphone that’s not an iPhone.
As mentioned above, Google will now stick to numbers instead of desserts, although, it would still use dessert code names internally. The company has also changed the Android logo, which now includes a chopped off head of the Android bot. Adding to that is the new color pallet that will represent the Android brand.
Google’s overall stance is that Android has become mature and so appropriate changes should be done to reflect that.
