Dan Morrill created some of the first mascot logos, but the current Android logo was designed by Irina Blok. Then the device vendors added their customizations.

For example, by this time next year, you can expect speech recognition and language translation apps, which will approach Star Trek-levels of coolness.

Android version history

Even the original Pixel owners are deprived of many features that come with the new Pixel 2 phones. The public version is slated to hit the market sometime in December. Automatic Light and Dark Themes Probably my favourite feature that is coming android 8.1 2 the new 8. The feature was launched with Pixel 2 which automatically changed the theme on the device depending on the type of wallpaper someone is using. For example, if you are using a light wallpaper, your phone will display the light theme, but if you change to a dark wallpaper, the theme also will automatically switch to a dark mode. I think the below pictures explain this better than my words can. If you love dark mode, you are going to love this update. Battery Levels For Bluetooth Connected Devices Another good feature which debuted with the Pixel 2 was the devices ability to show the battery levels of connected Bluetooth devices such as wireless headphones and speakers. This feature is really handy for people who have ditched the headphone jacks and gone totally wireless. Previously you needed to go to the Bluetooth settings to see the battery levels, but now you can get a nice visual cue, as it displays the battery just next to the Bluetooth icon in the quick-settings panel. Now, this is something I love. The New Power Menu Android 8.1 2 neat feature that came with Android 8. When you long-press on the power-button on-off buttonthe power menu slides from the edge of the screen in a card format. With the developer preview of Android 8. I also like the fact that automatic light and dark theming also works with the power menu. The Settings app that came with the Pixel 2 is probably the best version of it yet. Now, the search icon which occupied the top-right of the Settings android 8.1 2 page covers the whole top bar and looks prominent. Some settings menu items have also been rearranged to make it easier to find them. Also, the navigation bar color changes to match the light theme of the settings menu, with the color of the navigation buttons fading with time if left unused. New Oreo Easter Egg What will a new Android update be without its Easter Egg. Well, the developer preview of 8. However, the sad looking octopus still remains. Keep WiFi On During Sleep Option Removed Not all the changes that come with the Android 8. With this update, one of the features which helped in prolonging the battery life has been removed. This extended the battery life of the device. However, since this feature is no more, you will have to manually disable the WiFi if you want to keep the battery drain in check while your device is sleeping. Apps Can Now Only Make One Notification Alert Per Second Tell me if you have experienced this. Your smartphone is disconnected from the internet and as soon as you connect it to the internet, all those pending notifications come pouring in at the same time. It is especially annoying if you are a member of any chat group. The documentation that comes with the new developer preview shows that now an app can send only one notification alert per second irrespective of the number of notifications you are receiving. The best part is that the notifications are not lost, you just receive the alert tone one time. The main problem with this notification was that it cannot be removed. Semi-Transparent Quick Settings Panel Apart from the main Settings app, the Quick Settings panel has also received some minor upgrades. For starters, the new Quick Settings panel now is semi-transparent reflecting the design language of the Pixel 2. Also, now the user icon has been removed from the Quick Settings panel, so if you want to switch between users, now you will have to do that from inside the main Settings menu. Depending on how much used that feature, that might be a bad thing for you. Other changes include a subtle increase in the padding of quick setting tiles and more. Download Android 8.1 2 Notification Privacy Decreased Android Oreo 8. While the high priority notifications receive their individual cards, the lower priority notifications are clubbed together. It is good to see Google releasing Pixel specific features so soon for android 8.1 2 devices. I would still love that new Pixel 2 launcher, but considering the past history, I am not holding my breath for it. Let us know if you are going to wait till December for the public release or are you installing the Developer Preview today.
