News & Reviews:   developer preview

Nowadays, there are many people who use smartphones as their productivity devices instead of laptops. These people appreciate the more portable nature of a small smartphone as a PC, so Google has been adding more support to help with that in Android 15.

The first Android 13 beta has been now made public. However, if you're not a developer and you download it, there would be nothing much for you to see as it's just a developer preview. Despite that, the source is still able to dig out a few features that hint at the upcoming operating system (OS) update will stress privacy.

At one point, Android tablets were devices that no one cared for. But they have seen a revival of sorts this year, with more brands starting to release both mid-range and flagship models. As such, Google is looking to make UI improvements for it.

Google employees may be working remotely from home, but they are also developing Android 11 as we speak. In this latest update, the second developer preview of Android 11 has been rolled out by the company and one of the highlighted features is an AirDrop-like function. Previously known as Fast Share, it has been renamed to Nearby Sharing but it could be a placeholder name for now. Anyway, here's what we know.
