Google is currently hosting the 2018 Developer Conference in Mountain View, Calif., where the Android P version is officially available to all users.

Like the previously leaked images, the Android P version uses a newly designed interface and icons, and the bottom of the traditional buttons have also been integrated into the sideways.

The bottom horizontal cross is similar to the long horizontal button on the bottom of the iPhone X, used to call up the menu. According to previous news, Google’s move may be to continue to compress the bottom space.

The currently popular full-screen devices are constantly compressing the upper and lower menu spaces so that the main interface can occupy more space on the screen to improve the visual effects.

Of course, it may be inconvenient for the user to have problems with the usage habits at the beginning of the operation, but it is also very convenient to use the function after the habit.

The new Do Not Disturb mode allows activation by turning the front of the phone upside down on the desktop. Activation of new messages automatically affects non-interference users.

Android P’s system-level design goals are more intelligent, while more content integration with cloud services and artificial intelligence simplifies user operations.

Google engineers claim that intelligence is an important part of the Android P version. For example, when you insert a headset, the system will automatically pop up a button prompting you to play music.

When you press certain content, the system will automatically predict whether the user needs to find or search for content, and then directly call the built-in Google component to search.
