ANDROID TV 10 Q: THE SIX CHANGES YOU NEED TO KNOW

Dynamic Partitions 
Android TV 10 Q supports dynamic partitions, a userspace partitioning system that can create, resize, and destroy partitions during an over-the-air (OTA) update. In simple terms, we can call it “Memory Management”. Memory Management is the function responsible for allocating and managing a device’s main memory, keeping track of the status of each memory location, either allocated or free to ensure effective and efficient use of Primary Memory. As thus, consumers can record more movies, sporting events, or their favorite programs than before.

Privacy

Android TV 10 Q offers storage encryption using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and requires devices to use Adiantum software ciphers for securing users’data and privacy. Adiantum is an innovation in cryptography designed to make storage encryption more efficient for devices and ensure that all devices can be encrypted.

Energy Consumption / Doze

Android OS comes with the ability to multitask, which means that several apps and services are kept running in the background even when they are not actively being used. To improve the battery life of devices, Google added a power-saving feature called “Doze” since Android 6.0, allowing users’devices to go into incredibly low power usage modes in standby. With Android TV 10 Q, this Doze feature is getting a serious upgrade that makes it more practical and energy-efficient than ever before.

Media and Graphics
Android TV 10 Q will have native support for data-saving AV1 video codec. AV1 is a new video codec designed to help companies or individuals to transmit high-quality video over the internet efficiently. With AV1, operators can stream high-quality video content to Android devices using less bandwidth, which also means that operators can deliver higher-quality viewing experience to end-users, even when bandwidth is constrained.
