List of Android 11 Features:
- Linkability
- Support for new screens
- Hover chat bubbles
- Privacy and permissions
- Screen recording
- New Motion Sense gestures that can pause music.
Linkability: Android 11 brings a new link API to support 5G networks, so developers can take advantage of the improved speed and latency provided by 5G, such as making the app automatically provide the corresponding high-quality video when a high-quality network is detected.
Android 11 also adds a Bandwidth Estimator API that allows developers to easily determine the amount of downstream/uplink bandwidth available without the application having to query or calculate their own estimates.
Support for new screens: Android 11 has native support for these two screens, and provides APIs for digging and waterfall screens, which can be easily bypassed. Digging holes or making full use of the curved part of the waterfall screen does not require a separate setting by the users.
Hover chat bubble: Android 11 has added a floating chat bubble function. As long as the app uses a new API, it can float the ongoing conversation in the form of a bubble on the screen.
Android 11 supports pasting pictures directly into the reply of the app, reducing the need for users to cut between multiple apps. Chrome APP now Supported.
Privacy and Permissions: Android 11 adds one-time permission for location, microphone, and camera permissions. In other words, an app that has obtained one-time permission will still ask the user to obtain authorization. Android 11 will also automatically block repeated permission requests from the app. If the user clicks twice to deny authorization, the system will automatically stop asking for authorization.
Screen recording; The screencast appeared in an earlier version of Android 10 but was later deleted, but now it can be seen and used in Android 11.
New Motion Sense gesturesAndroid 11 also has an upgrade change for the Pixel 4 series, which provides new Motion Sense gestures that can pause music.

Recently, Chinese astronauts have taken the flagship Huawei P50 Pro to space initiated to share some selfies of up there….!! Huawei P50 Pro smartphone in space is just rock, specifically for the International Space Station (via Huawei Central). The dual camera ring design of the phone is clearly visible in the images. As a Chinese astronaut shared some pictures from the Space Station. Which showcased the P50 Pro in his hand taking the phone there.
Also, the phone is pictured within a controlled atmosphere of the space station. Take it to outer space and it will likely destroy itself with its own heat due to lack of cooling. These images might suggest that the smartphone is capable of functioning even in space, but that is unlikely. Modern smartphones are designed to be used in Earth’s atmosphere. While certain functions like the camera and touch may work. There is no chance for signal reception and calling.
The Huawei P50 Pro runs on HarmonyOS and has a 6.6-inch OLED display with 1.07 billion colors, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2700 x 1228p resolution123.

Recent Chinese sources are reflecting that Huawei’s HarmonyOS teing up Volkswagen, bringing its car to China……!! This practice will serve the Chinese consumers’ strong favor for homegrown technology and VW’s software woes.
Reportedly, the German automaker is looking for a long-term partner in China in general, but Huawei seems to be on top of the list with its push for the HarmonyOS ecosystem. In the opposite direction, Seres dropped HarmonyOS for Android Auto for its cars sold in Europe. Whereas, in the more fateful way Volkswagen hasn’t limited its options to just Huawei. This seeks a partnership lot more sense for VW with Huawei.
The Chinese EV market is booming and competition is fierce, where Volkswagen’s software is often seen as lagging compared to other EV competitors in China. Even Huawei is now competing with its own car brand in the country. Well, this is starting we expect all to be good.
