Google recently launched its Android 9 operating system, following a brief beta testing period.
The newest version of Android called Android Pie comes with new features aimed at enhancing the smartphone experience.
Android 9 supports built-in AI features which automatically prioritize battery power for apps based on usage patterns, along with other predictive actions such as adaptive brightness and app actions.
Android 9 will roll out to Google’s Pixel devices first, but there are a number of smartphones set to receive the update in the near future – thanks to their cooperation with Google and its Android One program.
