Every year, Google always introduces the latest operating system for their Android smartphone. Currently, the news about the latest operating system, Android 14, is being discussed. There are many leaks about new features that will be added to this operating system, as well as news about the launch date. In this article, we will discuss in detail the leaked new features of Android 14 and its launch plan.

Android 14: Introduction and launch date

As previously mentioned, Google usually introduces their latest Android operating system at the Google I/O event, which is usually held at the end of the first quarter or in the second quarter of each year. Rumors about Google’s latest operating system have been circulating since last year, and the news is now getting stronger with the emergence of leaks about new features that will be added to this operating system.

Although it has not been officially introduced, a number of leaks regarding the Android 14 features have been circulating in cyberspace. According to the news circulating, this operating system is said to be starting to be tested in the near future. Most likely this trial will be launched into the Google Pixel in February 2023.

Meanwhile, the beta version of Android 14 is expected to be released in May, following Google’s habit of holding annual Google I/O events in May every year. As for the final version, Android 14 is expected to be officially released from August to September 2023.

Leaked New Features Android 14

This operating system is rumored to present several interesting new features, such as “Material You”, “Health Connect”, “Satellite Connectivity”, “New Navigation Gestures”, and several other features that will improve the quality of the smartphone network and enhanced security and privacy features.

YOU MATERIAL

The “Material You” feature will allow users to set the interface more freely. Users can choose one of the wallpapers, and the system will determine the dominant color and look good to display. The color will be applied on the notification screen, lock screen, volume control menu, widgets, and more. This is so that the overall interface can look the same. This feature is likely to be the main selling point for Google when it introduces Android 14 later.

Health Connect

The second feature is “Health Connect” which allows users to monitor health and sports activities on different devices. This can make it easier for users to monitor sports or health activities from different devices as well. Users do not have to bother moving health data or setting a target for sports activities from one device to another.

satellite connectivity

In addition, Google will reportedly present satellite connectivity features on Android 14. This feature allows users to communicate using satellite connectivity, even though it is in an area that is not covered by the internet. However, it is still unknown whether this feature will be available for free or not.

New navigation gestures

The “new navigation gesture” feature will make it easier for users to perform a number of gestures to move from one application to another. Users can swipe the screen on the right or left to return to the previous page/application, swipe the bottom center of the screen to return to “Home”, or swipe and hold (Swipe and Hold) the bottom center of the screen to see what applications have been run previously.

Other Android 14 Features

Android 14 will also improve the quality of the smartphone network. This feature allows the device to manage internet data usage to be more efficient. In addition, the system will automatically save the media files (photos or videos) to the photo gallery. When there is a new message that includes an image/video, the file will be saved immediately. This aims to make it easier for users to find important files that are accepted.

Finally, this operating system will also bring enhanced security and privacy features. Users can select more detailed media access permissions to the app. For example, requesting permission for photo or video media access in each application. This feature is said to give users more control to choose whether they want to share access to sensitive information to the application or not.

launch of developer and beta version

Prior to the official launch, Google will usually release a developer and beta version of the Android 14 operating system. This version will be available to developers and beta testers users who want to try new features and provide input to improve the quality of the operating system before it is officially launched.

At this stage, beta tester users can provide input to Google about what features they want and what to improve or improve before the final version is released. In addition, developer versions and beta also allow developers to customize their applications with upcoming operating systems, so that their applications can function properly on the latest platforms.

Phones That Will Get Android 14 Update

The Android 14 update will be available for most of the phones released in the last two years, including popular brands such as Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, and others. However, some mobile manufacturers may not immediately release updates for all their mobile models, depending on the policies of each manufacturer.
