Android 10 Q Beta 3 came with a new gesture navigation. This is very similar to the one that Apple includes in its iPhone XS and Xr. Also to Huawei. It seems that Google has liked this new navigation, because the company will force all Android manufacturers to include Android 10 Q on mobile phones.
No, this does not mean that we will necessarily have to use the Android 10 gestures. What Google will do is force to include that option so that the user can choose between the gestures that the manufacturer implements in its customization layer, or those that it has designed the Mountain View company. It is something very similar to what happens with Google Chrome and other Google apps, which are essential on any Android mobile. In this case, it will only apply to the latest version of Android.
Therefore, if you have a Samsung mobile and you like its gesture navigation method, you can continue to maintain this option when the terminal updates to the latest version. But you can also choose the Google option. Here another important debate opens, and it is that many manufacturers, such as Huawei, have opted for very similar gesture navigation, although with some small changes in the design. It doesn't make much sense to add two very similar navigation options, where only the bottom bar layout changes.
The new navigation on Android:
The navigation by gestures of Android 10 Q is very similar to the one that Apple implemented in its iPhones with the arrival of the iPhone X. It consists of a bar at the bottom that will allow us to perform different actions by sliding.
- To go back: we will have to slide from the side on the screen.
- To go home: slide from the bottom to the center.
- To go from application to application: slide from the bottom to the sides.
- To open the app drawer: it will be necessary to swipe from the bottom of the screen.
- To open recent apps: swipe from the bottom and hold for a short period of time.
