With 2.5 billion active Android devices in the world, it seems fair to conclude that Android is the backbone of this mobile-driven world. With an intent to get one step closer to perfection, Google introduced Android 10 on September 3rd, 2019. It is released to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) for the broader ecosystem. We must say, the latest Android 10 update didn’t let us down with its outstanding features.Being the biggest competitor of iOS, the Android 10 release vehemently focuses on three important themes. It has focused on advanced machine-learning and support for emerging devices like foldable and 5G phones.
