HTC has released their first Android Pie update for one of their smartphones, and the first handset to get the update is the HTC U11 Life. This marks a significant milestone for HTC as they continue to support their devices with the latest software updates.
The Android Pie update brings a wide range of new features to the HTC U11 Life, and the update has been released as an over-the-air (OTA) update. This means that users can download and install the update directly from their device without needing to connect to a computer.
New Features in Android Pie
Android Pie introduces several new features and improvements designed to enhance the user experience. Some of the key features include:
1. Adaptive Battery and Brightness: Android Pie uses machine learning to prioritize battery power for the apps and services you use the most. Adaptive Brightness also learns how you like to set the brightness in different settings and automatically adjusts it for you.
2. App Actions: This feature predicts what you’re about to do so you can get to your next task more quickly. For example, if you connect your headphones, Android Pie will suggest your favorite playlist.
3. Slices: Slices bring relevant parts of your favorite apps to the surface. For instance, if you start typing a search for a ride-sharing app, you might see a slice that shows prices and availability for a ride home.
4. Digital Wellbeing: This suite of tools helps you understand how you use your phone and make any adjustments you’d like along the way. It includes a Dashboard, App Timers, Wind Down, and Do Not Disturb.
5. Gesture Navigation: Android Pie introduces a new system navigation featuring a single home button. This makes it easier to navigate your phone with fewer taps.
