New Features in Android 14: New Features Exposed

The Android 14 system has recently opened a developer preview version for developers or curious mobile users to download and experience. Although Google has not yet announced the official update time of this system, I believe many friends are looking forward to the official version! So what are the new features and changes in the official version of Android 14 this time? Let's take a look together!

New features, multiple features, and new features of Android 14 are revealed

1. Satellite Telephone

In a September 2022 tweet, Google's Senior Vice President for Android, Hiroshi Lockheimer, stated that his team is "designing new features for satellites".

Hiroshi Lockheimer said, "Imagine the user experience of a phone that can connect to a satellite. When we launched G1 in 2008, making 3G+WiFi work was a challenge. Now we are designing satellites. Cool! It's great to support our partners in implementing all these features in the next version of Android

It is speculated that this means emergency calls can be made through satellite, similar to the latest models of the iPhone 14, Huawei Mate, and P series. But it remains to be seen whether this applies to existing phones or only to new phones, although we suspect the latter.

2. Prediction Return Navigation

If you have tried to return to the previous application by clicking on the back button or using a sliding gesture to navigate to the previous page, but find that you have already exited the application, Android 14 will be able to try to solve this problem.

With the new predictive backward navigation, you can now see a preview of the main screen before completing the command, so you can know if you want to do so. It may sound a bit complicated, but the operation should be simple to avoid accidentally leaving an app. This feature was actually built for Android 13, but it seems that development time was running out before the release of this version, so it should now be officially available in Android 14.

Thirdly, the space delivery function may only be used on phones authorized by Google

This won't affect too many people, but Google has confirmed that the predecessor of Spacedrop - Android Beam - is being removed from AOSP (Android Open Source Project). This is significant because air delivery relies on Google Mobile Services, which means manufacturers such as Huawei who have not signed a Google license agreement may no longer be able to wirelessly share data between devices through NFC.

The above is a specific introduction to the new features and changes in the Android 14 system. The above content is only based on most media releases, after all, the official version of Android 14 has not yet arrived, but you can still look forward to these new features!
