Latest Android 10.0

The Latest Version of Android is 10.0

The initial version of Android 10.0 was released on September 3, 2019 on Google’s Pixel devices.

You can now download Android 10 on phones from a few different companies, not just Pixels, and that list is constantly expanding. It's fair to say, then, that Android 10 is officially available. Android 10, formerly known as Android Q until Google decided to finally ditch dessert names, is the latest operating system from Google, and since the majority of the world uses Android, you can expect your phone will likely run it soon. The Android 10 update brings a ton of new features, which Google has listed on its official page for the new software. Among all the new toys, the long-awaited system-wide dark mode (called 'Dark Theme') is the biggest shift from Android Pie. iOS-like Gesture Navigation has also been added, along with privacy controls and Focus Mode for shutting notifications off when you need to get things done. There's also details on Project Mainline, which was introduced at Google IO 2019 that enables Google to beam over-the-air security updates to phones between major updates. What else is new with Android 10? We've got a working features list below, based on everything we've seen on the official page, and what we saw at Google IO.

Android 10: what's new

Thanks to Google providing most of the information, as well as our playing around with Android 10, we've got a good idea of all the features in the latest version of Google's operating system.Dark Theme, the system-wide dark modeThere's a system-wide dark mode coming to Android 10 and it's called Dark Theme. So far it's limited to a few specific menus and apps, but more and more apps are becoming available in a dark mode all the time.You'll be able to trigger Dark Theme in two different ways, and both are in the notification shade. The first way is with a dedication Dark Theme quick settings button that switches between the default Light Theme and new Dark Theme. The second way is to turn on a Battery Saver mode, which automatically turns on Android 10 Dark Theme. This is a boon for phones with OLED screens, which will burn fewer pixels by essentially turning off pixels in regions of the display that are intentionally black.
