Android 11 Beta 1 Review – All New Features Explained !

Hey what’s up everyone , this is your host
manik welcome to another video so a couple
of days ago amidst all this chaos we got the
new android 11 beta for a few devices and
i was too excited to see what new features
it brings to the table , so after spending
nearly 2 days to boot it on my oneplus 6 i
finally managed to boot it up on my oneplus
6 and it was quite a task.
So in this video let’s have a look at the
android 11 beta 1 on oneplus 6 and before
we start if you wish to stay notified about
the latest videos do click on that subscribe
button and press the bell icon next to it
.
And in case you were wondering if the oneplus
6 series will get android 11 or not i would
say chances are high that we will get it but
it wont happen before 2021 dont worry we will
have quite a few of custom roms before that.
Anyways lets jump to the new features and
you will see most of these in the final version
as well, first of all in the notification
bar we now have notifications categorised
automatically , for example chats and messages
will

be on top and alerts below them and so
on and it feels nice and refined as you dont
have to look for an important message in a
mess that used to exist in previous versions
of android which is great.
Oh one more thing , we now have chat bubbles
like we had in past with apps like messenger
, now apps like whatsapp and messages will
support it too which makes the whole multi
tasking easier and smooth in case you are
doing something else and you can also see
the image of sender instead of app icon and
it feels nice overall.
Plus you can go in settings and get your notification
history and i really wanted to see this feature
as it helps in case to dismiss a notification
accidentally and you will appreciate it for
sure.
And the music playback tile has now been moved
to the top , it makes it more ios like and
i am not really a fan of it as some people
are going to find it difficult to reach there
and control music playback but its there and
from this tile you can switch over to any
external speaker or earphones easily with
just a tap and that is handy.
Now the homescreen has changed a bit and you
have the app suggestions and the device learns
as per your usage and then recommends the
apps on your homescreen and it works but isnt
that accurate.
Coming to the recents menu we now have thse
3 new buttons and firstly you have a screenshot
button to the left to quickly capture , edit
or share a screenshot on the go , next to
it you have a select button to select any
text you want from the current screen and
this nifty feature is really helpful , trust
me ….
And if you are lazy just like me ,just tap
on that share sheet and it will capture a
screenshot of the app and bring up the list
directly.
Neat isnt it?
Now another new thing that we have is in permissions
and we now have that extra permission and
you can permit an app access to a specific
permission for that session only and i feel
its next step in android’s security system
and its good to have it ,
Apart from this we have the screen recorder
.. officially , lets hope it does not get
removed from the final stable version , plus
new icon styles , dark mode scheduling and
you can even resize a video in pip mode and
other tiny things autofill , app pinning and
a lot more.
And what do i feel about it ? well the last
couple of android versions have been minor
updates cosmetically but under the hood they
have some really good improvements that refines
the overall experience and this beta is in
no way ready to be used as a daily driver
but its a baby step in the right direction.
So that was it , your first look at android
11 beta 1 do let me know the feature you like
the most in android 11 , so do like this video
if it helps you out and subscribe if you havent
already and i will see you in the next one.
