On April 24, foreign media techradar reported that 9to5Google found Android 14 in the code of the Android open source project, code-named Upside Down Cake (Flip Cake). Unexpectedly, Android 13 has not been officially pushed, Android 14 is already on the way, and the update rhythm is faster than Apple's iOS.
Every generation of Google's Android system codename likes to use dessert names, such as Snow Cone (smoothie) for Android 12, Tiramisu (tiramisu) for Android 13, and so on. However, code names generally do not have much to do with system functions, and it is difficult to understand what the new system does from the "flip cake".
According to expectations, Android 14 should be released as soon as next year, this exposure code, can only show that Google is already working on development, speculation that Android 13 should be basically perfect, it is estimated that soon push the official version. Google has unveiled a lot of new features about Android 13, mainly to strengthen user privacy protections, a bit of a sense of proximity to Apple's iOS.
It is speculated that Android 14 may further enhance the experience of privacy protection, device security, application control, and notification management, with the opportunity to catch up with or even surpass iOS. In addition, multi-screen collaboration and cross-platform interaction are also the key directions of future development, and Android 14 is likely to strengthen this aspect of the function to achieve the connection between mobile phones, tablets and PCs.
Although many functions of Google's Android system even lag behind domestic mobile phone manufacturers, Google has also been trying to optimize the Android system over the years. Compared with previous years, the android system fluency and experience have been significantly improved, and it will not be stuck to the point of being unable to use it after 2 to 3 years of use. At the same time, the system's privacy protection and permission control are also constantly tightening, rogue junk software is much less, and the Android system ecology is more secure and healthy.
Many people think that iOS is easy to use, safe and smooth, and it does not stick after a few years of use. But after all, iOS is relatively closed, the user's freedom to play the machine is low, and the functions are not as rich as Android. If Android can gradually catch up with iOS in terms of fluency, security and system aging, Xiao Lei is still more willing to use Android, after all, no one wants to pay apple "IQ tax" every day.
