first have a look at Android Q features:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Foldable_Phone_Support\"><\/span><strong>Foldable Phone Support:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There\u2019s no end to technological advancement and therefore it keeps on getting things better. Same is the case with improvements in the mobile operating system which was first recognized by Google. Google announced the potential foldable phones in the future. And let me know you that one of the best features that Android Q has is the support for large screens and foldable UI.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multi-Resume_Screens\"><\/span><strong>Multi-Resume Screens:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This feature complements multiple windows functionality. Android Q brought this feature allowing more than one app to run simultaneously, without pausing. Yes, it\u2019s true that with Google\u2019s multi-window, apps in the background will neither pause nor stop. Because with Android Q, apps in the background will also function normally while you focus on the primary app.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bubbles_as_Seamless_Notification\"><\/span><strong>Bubbles as Seamless Notification:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a preview feature in Q developer preview. It\u2019s an alternative to system alert window which would enable you to smoothly multitask from anywhere on a compatible device. These bubbles float on the top of the app and can be expanded as well as collapsed accordingly. And when the phone is locked, it appears like any other notification. This notification in Android Q will not fade until they are opened or dismissed.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pixel_Smart_Lock\"><\/span><strong>Pixel Smart Lock:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With Android Q from now on, smart lock functionality will also be available in android devices which were up till now present only in Pixel devices. What\u2019s different in this smart lock? This lock enables frictionless and speedy unlocking whenever the device is placed in a trusted location, connected to a known Bluetooth device, or when the device can identify the user\u2019s face, voice, and body.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Playback_Capture_and_Screen_Recording\"><\/span><strong>Playback Capture and Screen Recording:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Android Q comes with pretty refreshing additions. It includes new Audio Playback Capture API and Screen Recorder for Videos. As both their name suggests, Playback Capture API will record audio playing in the app and Screen Recorder will record video screens. Moreover, you can also use a voice-over functionality to speak while you capture the screen.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus_on_Voice_Assistance\"><\/span>Focus on Voice Assistance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Siri was the first ever voice assistant in the market. With awesome features and update. But, Google Assistant steals the show here. They are not even comparable. Siri is still robotic, somewhat, while Google Assistant sounds natural.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most of all, Google Assistant is extremely good with deciphering commands and matching search results while Apple still lags behind. Without a doubt, the award goes to Google!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_Sharing_API\"><\/span><strong>Improved Sharing API:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Android Q comes with Sharing Shortcuts API replacing the Direct Share API, making hassle-free delivery experience. This new feature sets targets in advance instead of waiting for retrieving the result only when requested. You can even switch applications to share media files.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dark_Theme\"><\/span><strong>Dark Theme:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is the most talked feature of Android Q making UI appealing and intuitive. Let\u2019s first learn about what\u2019s Dark Theme. It\u2019s nothing else but as the name suggests a dark screen. Yes, this mode turns the bright white screen into a dark black screen with only a few pixels light up. This also serves the following benefits: It decreases power consumption, offers better visibility to those who can\u2019t bear bright light, and can be used in a low light environment.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Now_lets_have_a_look_at_the_iOS_13_features_too\"><\/span>Now, let\u2019s have a look at the iOS 13 features too<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overhauled_Photos_App\"><\/span><strong>Overhauled Photos App:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the introduction of iOS 13, Apple has raised the bar for photo and video editing by offering new possibilities of creativity and control.

So, now with iOS 13 Find My, you can trace your phone as well as friends using the same app even when you are offline.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Siri_with_a_New_Voice\"><\/span>Siri with a New Voice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Siri\u2019s new voice now sounds more organic and less robotic.

Also, its Sign-In With Apple feature protects your identity and takes care of your privacy by authenticating your identity via Touch or face ID.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reminders\"><\/span><strong>Reminders<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Apple revamped its reminder app in iOS 13.
