Everything you need to know about Android 11

Google has released the latest major update called Android 11 "R" and has begun shipping the Pixel models of the search engine itself.

First introduced in February, Android 11 brings added privacy, new chat features, and device and Internet controls.

Here's what you need to know about this Android update.

When will I get it?

Currently only if you have a Google Pixel or OnePlus smartphone, Oppo, Realme and Xiaomi can install version 11 of Android, somewhere the final version and somewhere it is an experimental version but accessible to the masses.

In the coming months we expect Samsung to join this list.

Does it cost?

Updates is free from Google. If you are required to pay for the next version of Android then it is a scam.

Will existing applications work?

Android 11 does not change the way the operating system works which means that applications will continue to function as they have in recent years.

Improving conversations

For many users, phones are just about communicating with a host of applications. These apps will have their own dedicated space in the phone notifications section making it much easier to manage conversations without interfering with the rest of the notifications.

Facebook was the first to introduce this design model with Messenger in 2013 by placing conversations in the form of floating bubbles on the screen and standing on any type of application interface or operating system. By pressing on them, the bubbles revealed the full conversation to read.

Google has taken this feature and integrated it into the Android operating system so that every communication application works the same even though some need to be updated.

The idea of ​​this change is to continue to do what you are doing while having quick access to the conversation you are having with a relative or friend.

Improved media content controls

The music and video control buttons will be part of a dedicated section in the notifications panel, hovering over other notifications. Part of this update is the ability to change the music output as well, for example you are using headphones you want to switch the speaker what you can do with a button.

Quick access to smart devices

If you have lights and smart devices at home, this version of Android is for you. Holding down the power button will give you quick access to a panel where in addition to the power on or off buttons, you will also have a collection of buttons to turn on and off smart devices.

Buttons can be changed based on the devices they use most often.

The best privacy

Based on the privacy enhancements made by Android 10, Android 11 will add more controls this time over the permissions you give apps so that they serve the purpose for which they were built.

For example, access to the microphone, camera and location can now only be granted once by avoiding a permanent permission even when you are not using the application that requires access to these resources.

Android will even reset the permissions you have given to an app that you have not used in a long time so that it does not access parts of the phone if you have left it in oblivion.

Faster updates

Google is doing its best to send as frequent security and privacy updates as possible which will make it available on Google Play similar to apps. So you do not have to wait for the smartphone manufacturer to send a full update if it is a critical security fix.

Almost one billion iPhones are in use around the world

 There are currently over one billion Iphones in use and analysts say this will grow even more.

Almost one billion iPhones are in use around the world

Apple says that they reached the figure of one billion in 2016, but they did not account for the outdated iPhones, writes "Independent".

In a recent post Apple expert Neil Cybartt said that according to his account, Apple has surpassed the figure of one billion users last month.

"13 years after its launch, these phones remain permanent for users," Cybartt said.

He added: "Competitors are either shamelessly copying the iPhone, or are heavily influenced by Apple."

So far Apple has launched 29 iPhones in the market.

To be more successful in sales, Cybartt thinks Apple needs to push the boundaries of camera technology, increase the value of the iPhone, and increase the number of capabilities the phone can afford.

German-French ACC battery cell project

 Opel is promoting the Joint Venture Automotive Cell Company (ACC) for the production of electric car battery cells along with its parent company PSA and French subsidiary Total Saft. The schedule announced in February for the Franco-German project has already been confirmed.

German-French ACC battery cell project

As planned, ACC will begin battery production in 2023 and will already produce eight million kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery cells next year. This was announced by ACC manager Jean-Baptiste Pernot at an online event hosted by the Federal Ministry of Economy, which was reported by industry portal Energate Messenger. The goal is for the capacity to reach 48 million kWh by 2030. This will be achieved with two large plants, the so-called gigafactors - one in Germany (Kaiserslautern) and France (Douvrin).

The Federal Ministry of Economy announced in February that the project should create up to 2,000 new jobs in Germany. In France, in addition to the plant in Douvrin, ACC plans to include two other areas: a research and development center in Bordeaux and a pilot area in Nersac, both of which, according to Energate, have already started operating. They want to produce high-quality, durable and affordable batteries for electronic mobility, Pernot said. The products are currently still very expensive in the market.

Pernot stressed the focus on sustainability. ACC will supply its batteries, among others, with a low CO2 footprint. 60 kilograms of the target CO2 equivalent per kWh is 25 to 35 percent less than the current standard. To this end, they rely on efficient factories and the use of renewable energy. Batteries are also designed for easier recycling and the goal is to disperse with controversial raw materials like cobalt.

In the future, the goal is to reduce Europe 's dependence on electric car batteries, Pernot said. Battery cells are currently mainly supplied by companies in Asia, as German carmakers - with the exception of VW - and their local suppliers have not yet given priority in this area. According to Energate, ACC also wants to develop new generations of batteries, including solid state batteries. As a "Significant European Common Interest Project" (IPCEI), the company receives state funding for this, with only Germany and France wishing to contribute 1.3 billion euros. According to the Federal Ministry of Economy, the total volume of investments is almost five billion euros. About two billion of these are planned for the Kaiserslautern location.
