The next version of Android has come and if many haven’t guested it already, the name is Pie, Android Pie.

Google announced the official name for the next version of Android, along with the update’s initial release, Monday. The Android 9.0 update will begin rolling out now to Pixel phones, and will be available later this year to other devices.

The update, which has been available in beta since March, comes with a number of improvements, including new personalization features, battery-saving adjustments, and tools that help you track how much time you’re spending on your phone.

But for most users, the most immediately obvious change will be the one that will also take the most getting used to: the new navigation. As discovered, Android Pie is the first Android update to address the latest trends in smartphone design, such as display notches and edge-to-edge screens. Google has responded to these changes with revamped navigational controls.

There’s also a dashboard feature similar to Apple’s new Screen Time controls in iOS 12, which breaks down exactly how much time you’re spending in each app on a daily basis.

If you need additional help to stop looking at your phone so much, there’s a revamped “do not disturb” mode, as well as something called “wind down,” which will automatically turn your phone’s display to grayscale when you’re getting ready to go to sleep.

These “wellbeing” features won’t be available as part of the initial Android Pie release, but an early version is available now to Pixel owners who sign up for Google’s beta program.

There you have it. Andoird is coming back with a band. Innovative and feature driven to accommodate with the ever changing design structure of smart phones as well as the demand performance wise. 

My question now is, will the Pixel 3 live up to the hype?
