The first beta preview of Android P, Google’s next version of Android mobile OS, will launch later month. Popular leaker Evan Blass on Twitter claims Google is targeting a mid-March release for Android P developer preview. That simply means we could see the release happen in a week or so. Last March, Google launched the first developer preview of Android O.
The next version of Google’s mobile operating system will be designed from scratch, which could be a part of “Material Design 2”. According to a report from Bloomberg, Google is redesigning the user interface to make sure its Android 9.0 stands out against Apple’s upcoming iOS 12. Sources close to Bloomberg claim Google wants to persuade more iPhone users to switch to Android. Bloomberg also notes that Android P will support the controversial “notch” above the display, similar to the iPhone X. Notably, many Android smartphone manufacturers are already working on phones with an all-screen display and a “notch” inspired from Apple’s latest iPhone X.
There’s still a lot we don’t know about Android P, so it’s exactly unknown what new features will be added to the next version of Android. Expect more details about Android P will be out during the annual Google I/O in May. Google I/O 2018 developer conference will take place from May 8 to May 10 at the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountainview, California.
