While everyone else is testing, the stable software is only available on the Pixels and One Plus phones. That doesn't mean we can't start talking about the new operating system.
The senior technical editor at Esper, Mishaal Rahman, gave a deep dive into some of the features we can expect to see when the new version of the mobile operating system is released. He says he's confident that the features will appear in the new version of the operating system. What can we anticipate?
Rahman says that a predictive back gesture is something that is being worked on by the company. If a gesture is set to leave the app, the app will be minimized so that users can see a preview of the launcher.
Users can better understand their use of the back gesture and not leave the app if that wasn't their intention.

This can only be enabled in developer options if it is available on the particular app. It's possible to try this out with the phone app.
Rahman believes that there will be more support for AV1 decoding in the years to come. It is much more efficient to use this method to provide higher-quality video at lower bitrates. According to Rahman, it will be a requirement in the next iteration of the operating system.
More phones may receive support for the codec in the future due to the fact that this is already found in the new Chromecast with Google TV.
Satellite connection is a feature that has been popping up more and more recently, and the feature will be supported in the next version of the operating system.
Wild to think about user experiences for phones that can connect to satellites. When we launched G1 in '08 it was a stretch to get 3G + Wifi working. Now we're designing for satellites. Cool! Excited to support our partners in enabling all of this in the next version of Android!September 1, 2022

Rahman doesn't know what this means since the T-Mobile and SpaceX partnership is expected to support existing phones. Since we know that phones will have to point directly at a satellite for the feature to work well, it's possible that it's some kind ofUI related to the feature. Apple demonstrated this with the iPhone 14 Pro, so it's possible that Android 14 will allow users to see if their phone is pointing at a satellite.
The new Space Race is just getting started for phones, and it could be amazing for consumers or just more overhyped tech for us to spend money on.
We suggest you take a look at Rahman's report to get an idea of what to expect when the new version of the operating system is released.
