Android 11 is here and many are already testing the news on their Android 11 compatible phones.
But since the release of the latest version of Android, they have been discovered details and secrets hidden in Android 11, which may have gone unnoticed at first glance.
Precisely for this reason, today we wanted to select the best news hidden in Android 11 that could have been overlooked.
Android 11 is the second version of the story without a sweet or sweet name
Blurred background on system elements
Will the "Frosted Glass" effect so characteristic of iOS eventually arrive on Android? Can. Or, at least, so it seems when you consider the code discovered by the developer Luca Stefani, director of LineageOS, through which it was possible to enable the blur effect in some system elements such as the notification panel.
Here's how the notification background would look blurry in Android 11.
"Gabeldorsche" arrives
Under this name so - apparently - strange, there is a new Bluetooth engine which will be the default Android system in the next few years. We talked about it in more detail at the time, and now we know that this revamped system will deliver faster speed while reducing latency Bluetooth connectivity.
More customization on the lock screen
With Android 10, Google introduced the ability to customize the lock screen clock using three available options. However, this function did not end up reaching the final edition of the previous version.
And today it is not yet available, although we know that Google is working on adding new watch styles to the lock screen. This feature may be available sooner or later, perhaps with the arrival of the new Pixel 4a and Pixel 5.
"Open" notifications with strong pressure
One of the Pixel Feature Drop updates released for the Google Pixel, introduced the ability to perform actions with strong pressure on the screen, without the need for a pressure sensitive panel.
At the beginning this function was used to perform the same actions that we would do with a long press on an element of the system. However, with Android 11, the option of expand notifications pressing hard on them.
Independent volume level for virtual assistants
In addition to the classic volume controls for calls and notifications, multimedia and alarm clocks, Android 11 introduces un new volume channel for virtual assistants like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa.
With this tool - which is currently not operational - it is likely that sooner or later it will be possible independently choose the volume level for the participants' audio, so that it is no longer tied to the multimedia volume.
The new Google Assistant.
Support for 10-bit wallpapers
Remember the wallpaper that could completely block Android phones? The reason he was able to do this was his 10-bit encoding. Well, in Android 11, Google eliminates this problem and no longer automatically changes the encoding of wallpapers when you set them as your background image. Instead, the support for images with wider color spectra, so they can be used as backgrounds.
Configurable volume buttons
It might be possible, sooner or later, customize the operation of the Android volume buttons. According to XDA, Android 11 introduces support for double or triple tap detection on the volume buttons of the mobile.
In this way, perhaps in the future it will be possible use the phone's volume keys as "convenience keys" intended to perform various configurable actions.
