Android tablets may have been in decline, but it seems like the pandemic made us care about them again. According to Google, in the last year, we ve seen over 30 percent more people start using Android tablets compared to the prior year. To make these devices potentially more useful, the company is announcing a new feature today called Entertainment Space that serves as a portal for all the media apps you ve installed.
In a blog post, product manager for Google Play James Bender wrote that Entertainment Space is a one-stop, personalized home for all your favorite movies, shows, videos, games and books. During a virtual demo, Bender showed Engadget how to access the new feature on a Lenovo tablet. On supported devices, Entertainment Space is the minus one page, meaning it sits on the left of the home screen where the Discover feed typically is on Android phones.
Most Interesting Features Coming Our Way From Android 12
With every iteration, the Android operating system become better and better. The upcoming Android 12 is not going to be an exception. Recently, Google announced the Developer Preview 2. So developers can already test their products with this new system and let Google know what bugs they find.
Briefly About Android 12
Generally, Android 12 will be available in the second half of the year, after August. But even now, we know some amazing features that it will bring.
You should know that Google and many other companies like to add codes after the product name/version. Say, for its mobile operating system, before the Android 10 version, it has been adding dessert-themed names in an alphabetical order. The last one was Android 9 Pie. Though Google stopped acting so, users still continue adding dessert codes after the official names. In this regard, the Android 12 is going to be called ‘Snow Cone’.
Google quietly acquired Dysonics, a 3D audio startup, back in December 2020, according to a new report. The discovery was made via a recent USPTO filing and seemingly confirmed by multiple employees who now list Google as their employer on LinkedIn. Though Google hasn’t commented on the acquisition, the nature of the startup hints at a bright future for Pixel Buds and Nest speakers.
The acquisition was recently discovered by
Protocol, which cites a US Patent and Trademark Office filing that revealed the business move. Dysonics was a small startup that specialized in immersive 3D audio, including spatial sound, which gives listeners a sense of location and distance.
