13:25 How To Install Android 14
Just wish these 5 features in Android 14 1. Battery Health 2. Stacked widgets 3. Maintenance Mode 4. Universal Control (within android, wear os, chrome os and google tv) 5. Strict granular app permissions
Samsung little has all of them lmao
@@itsarian. yeah lmao can confirm
@@itsarian. I thought that all the android phones had them?
Samsung has all of them
Why is App Lock not on the list?
I've been a Samsung user since like 5 years now and have always noticed how every year a new Android version gets released with features that've already existed on OneUI.
flash notifications s10e don't know when it came out never used it but know its there
@@UNKNOWN-xn3lg it was added waaaay before the s10 series came, back when they first used the curved screen on the s6 edge
Something I would love to see back, is AMOLED dark theme and more color options for material U.
Yeah, I'm getting sick of having to force dark mode in developer option settings after every restart. I've looked for apps like Shortcut Maker, but nothing seems to work for this.
Lineage has pure black dark theme as a regular setting, and Repainter has a lot of options, even before rooting. Just in case your devicd personally doesn't have it c:
not sure how android developers are going to implement AMOLED, a hardware feature, onto their software.
@@manewhairstyle years ago, when dark mode came out, the UI was totally black. But now dark mode, is a shade of black/gray, forcing the pixels to light up. You can Google it how it works.
@@manewhairstyle I believe they mean pure black, rather than the dark grey that some devs use
That dual SIM feature is so nice. I go to a ton of super remote oil and gas sites, and often, only one carrier services the general region. Autoswapping will be extremely convenient, if it's actually implemented in Android 14.
Honestly, it'll be a huge relief seeing that implemented across all Android 14 devices! It'll help to free a slot for SIM card and install an SD card in lieu while retaining the phone number.
Just realized he's explaining all the one ui features
Exaaaactlyyy...
Same
Yup PISS ALLS SUCK
The only reason to buy a Samsung flagship lol
@@selw0nk Still much better than any Pixel phone xD
Thoroughly explained, subscribed ❤
i like flash notification and specific permissions, not to mention those possible updates too
Samsung had this ability so many generations back for Android, it's kind of hilarious Google are just now adding this.
Thanks for the insightful info.
I LOVE THE TASKBAR AND BACK GESTURE BROOO
Can't wait to get an Android 14 update in my moto in 5 years
i knowwww i have an edge 30 fusion and im so mad im not getting android 14 ;(
I appreciate your time and effort. Thank you and have a wonderful week.
I see a lot of people wishing features that are present in one ui. It shows that 3rd party developers knows more than Google.
This has always been the case. Stock google is always a good 2-3 years behind one UI. Even TouchWiz had more features lol.
More like google lets its offshoots experiment, then upstreams features people actually use.
great video. So much info and content
Thank you so much 👍
They need to make ChromeOS a DeX like feature in Android.
@3:20: You totally got me freaking out for a minute or two with that "back screen" animation, well played sir...
@0:25 is another reason why it's so hard to leave Samsung. Samsung had Flash notifications for years, and like cloak work, Google and Apple get features that Samsung had years ago but of course doesn't get credit for it
@Leo when you say "nobody" you're referring to yourself, "Mr Nobody "
@@Leo-rh6rq young lady.... "nobody cares"
@@Leo-rh6rq Bro everyone cares who invented them 😒 If we don't companies would remain lazy and wouldn't step up their game it clearly shows in this update, Samsung had these features like 2 years ago and Google is adding half of them right now !? Google being lazy effects everybody from other stock Android users on other brands to even OneUi users since Samsung wouldn't bring new features for us when all the competitions is clearly far behind they better hide them for the future and with how few years most android phones get support a lot of people who have a three or four year old phones wouldn't get those features 😥💔
@@Leo-rh6rqnope we care and Crapple Fanboys care
@Leo-rh6rq it's really important when Crapple lies and says they invented widgets and AOD or lockscreen etc or say they did it better which is a lie
I love it the video bro 💯
Thank you ✨✨
This makes me excited to jump from a Google Pixel 4 Xl to a Google Pixel 8, possibly the 8 pro!
Can you also make a video explaining all the one ui 5.0 (or 5.1) features
Can’t wait 🙌
already have these features on my vivo x70pro + the first few features!! but cant wait to get the official update and thanks for the video also need those wallpapers:P cant do international payments yet
Thank you
The hand movements 💅
Nice! 👍
AV1 can make it less efficient if you've device doesn't have hardware AV1 decoding, depending on the decoder.
Good video!
The Flash Notification feature has been with One UI 3 (Android 11) ever since.
Finally we're getting some of the features from one UI. One UI is great but the double apps and the way the animations are not as smooth as pixel UI is what's keeping me with Google.
That's what forced me to switch. The dual clashing house styles and 2 apps for every function was not it for me 😵💫
Why would you use both? Yes there are two different messaging apps, but you choose one: Why would you go back and use the other in this example or any example really?
@J. Yeah i never really got that argument, samsung includes their own apps but you can just use googles instead and hide samsungs so you cant see them.
Smoothness is stupid need good ideas not pretty pretty worthless crap
Wear os kinda has predictive back gestures in settings and some apps like home assistant. But it is not fully functional. When you are on the update screen, it won't go back.
will you be able to flash the pixel tablet the same way (once it gets released), can I flash android 12,13 to an older phone (galaxy s9+) the same way you flash your pixel phone?
The pixel is the only phone I've ever owned where the notification shade is accessible on the lock screen. A thief can steal and put your phone on airplane mode without unlocking it.
My ZTE Blade V10 Vita from 2019 running near stock android 9 is also like this but it's a cheap and old phone so I don't really have to worry about it getting stolen.
literally every phone lets you turn it off without a passcode. even Samsung, which they try to lock it out but you can just force shut down. just because you can enable airplane mode from the lock screen won't make your phone more or less thief proof.
I wish they added the ability to play audio to different speakers at the same time
🗣️ like Samsung
Get a Samsung
@@alanspyke5593 isn't a samsun an android also? Or is this update only for Pixel?
@@OkumuraRyuk One Ui is based on android, but it comes with its own features and emojis
@@OkumuraRyuk yup but many of these things are in 1UI and occasionally Google adapts them for Piss All
4:00 I'm pretty sure the new window is a play protect change and not an Android change because I have it on my Motorola phone with Android 12
same here with my pixel 6a on 13 haha
So basically a settings app update, some *slight* modifications to gestures in a good way and a lot of stuff being blocked on the premise of security and a bunch of other stuff already provided by other OEM's. It really does feel a bit insignificant to me ngl.
Small indie company, please understand
@@Neb_Raska yeah Google is just a startup :(
Developer preview, so more stuff will be added
I mean, if you really want to spice it up, switch to an iPhone and rock that for awhile
@@thetechrealist even if android 14 becomes the shittiest version of Android, it'll have more freedom than ios will ever have
Flash notification is already available in Samsung's One UI
I've noticed the bright yellow colour is back. Finally....
Android 14 must improve the desktop mode. Even ipad has stage manager now. So no excuse for Android to lag in that respect
This video made me realize how important the open source nature of Android is. The vast majority of features in this video and I mean, around 90% of them, are available in iOS or other Android distributions such as OneUI, this video made me realize how much third party companies actually keep pushing android forward with new and exciting features. I wonder how different the smartphone space today would be if android was closed source and companies such as Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi or Nothing had to develop and maintain their own OS. i don't mean to bash on google for being late on adding features,, they're the ones maintaining the foundations of the OS after all, but still, it's interesting to see how far android has come because of its open source nature.

How to actually enable the new photo permission? I installed the simulator on Android Studio but I don't see the new option to limit photo access.
I read on Reddit that Magisk/Root isn't working for Android 14 yet so yeah I'm definitely staying away from it because unfortunately I've learned the hard way a few times from messing with Developer Previews and Betas. Since I only have my Google Pixel 6 I'm not installing anything like that on it until it's Stable Release and sometimes even then I don't Update to it right away I like to wait and see if the Official Release has any major Bugs before I Update to it. I'm planning on getting a cheaper Pixel a Series Phone when I get Working at this New Job soon and I'll use that for installing Developer Previews or Betas or different Versions of Android because installing them can be fun but not on your daily Device. I've been very happy with Android 13 on my Google Pixel 6 it's been very Smooth and the Battery life has been great unlike Android 12 Android 12 was horrible on the Google Pixel 6 but Android 13 made the Google Pixel 6 what it was supposed to be from the start a reliable Flagship Phone and hopefully Android 14 will do the same with even more Features.
There are many apps which aren't updated since android 5.1 or lower and I find it absolutely bonkers that Google is blocking it.
I hate how they are doing this. Hope they change their mind. Same story with apps that aren't 64 bit.
yeah my favorite music player works great and hasn't been updated since 2011
@@DNFrozen1 which app?
@@mokisan mortplayer music oh i just noticed that the last update was in 2013 not 2011. anyway it's still old and will be affected by this
@@DNFrozen1 thanks
Hey can you tell me which set of keycaps you have on the mechanical keyboard shown in the b-roll?
Keycaps????
Get a Samsung and use Key s Cafe and change color and symbols and have it flashing
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN he is talking about the keyboard on his desk not phone
2:23 I had to read that twice 💀
Do you think that android 14 will be avaible for honor x8 😅
What pixel phone would you getting recommend from the used market
Android share is _not_ separate to OEM manufacturers though. Nearby sharing is a Google play feature, and no manufacturer has a special sharing feature.
Samsung has its own implementation in addition to nearby share from Google
Hey ,what about the battery optimisation of the Android 14 OS??
You can record specific apps through the share sheet now?
whats the best way to transfer my samsung s23 data onto a macbook pro? Also whats the best way to transfer files from my old Xiaomi mi 10 ultra to samsung s23 ultra? Thanks! Also any advice is appreciated
If we cannot clone certain social apps...we can use it on same phone by multiuser feature there we can use a second social account ? I am asking that please tell me.
cant wait for the limited media/gallery permission :)
Is DeviceAsCamera feature available? Can you use your phone as webcam over USB?
what are these wallpapers? theyre amazing
flash notification is already available even before my old vivo v9 has it i really wish they will add more useful tools soon and also y'all are already waiting for android 14 while mine is still barely getting any updates lol
out of topic but whos that on your pfp she looks so familiar
Calm the hands ✊
Is there OTA updates after you install?
How did you get the color temperature to be so much cooler on the android 14 phone?
I'm so sad about the 32 bit apps. When I get a nostalgia kick and redownload an app from my childhood and it's not compatible, that's gonna suck. Hopefully someone makes a magisk module to fix this issue.
Many features of android 14 are already in Android 13.1 . I guess you should have compared it with Android 13.1 . Example that back gesture icon, fingerprint image etc. These are in Android 13.1 already.
Can you update your phone when there is a new update coming for ur phone after using that flashing website or is the system gonna block you like odin flasher
I think the flashing thing was already present on some andriod phone back in the day. Like s5
On Android 14 is it possible to remove the Bell icon and Day Timer on the Notification Box. If so, how please. Thankyou
What is the name of the icon pack your using on your pixel ?
I hope webcam becomes a thing in 14 final release, I can reuse my old device (thats still going to have support until 15) and breathe new life into it as I move over to the Pixel ecosystem when I get my new device (waiting on pixel 8 + watch 2 launch).
I wish they would bring back the android 12 beta quick settings looked so much cleaner.
Yeah Facundo 💪💪💪🍾🍾🍾🥳🥳🥳
Android is perfect! ❤
I want the navigation task bar feature, how please tell me.
5:33 both screen display show slightly different one display is white while another old one is slightly yellow....
After watching Mrunal in Hi Nanna, I have no shed of doubt that she would do so well in a Bollywood romcom if given a chance.
🔥
Your studio theme is also Material U. The colours, text, in video is also Material U.😀😂
Why the channel name How to Men When it should have been "how to gadget" or "how to geek" or "how to tech" or "how to tweak". ? I was always curious
Still waiting on the google fonts update, why did they remove it in the first place?
No hate on the video, good work at highlighting the new features and UI, but i love how android users hate on apple and iOS for bringing "Simple features" extremely late, but they are now finally bringing flash notifications when apple has had it for years, as well as the select photos for certain apps, apple has also had that for years now, the speaker switcher, apple has had that since airplay roughly back in 2017. And the whole health app and settings, and much more.
I think the people like that are usually talking about Samsung tbh, who already had most of these besides the photos one
Can i install this on google pixel 3 XL?
on 2.20, i treid to turn on predictive back animation but the smartphone says: is required to turn the mode enableOnBackInvokedCallback on true in the manifest file of all the app, what i have to do?
it's telling you to not do shit you don't know
Throw against a brick wall
Can I use DSU Loader in Developer Options to load Android 14?
Nice seeing Android catching up with iOS
will my one plus Nord CE 5G get the android 13 update
How do you get that taskbar on pixel?
for some reason i cant download it, i am on pixel 6 whenever i click install build my phone goes on bootloader and then disconnects from the my laptop
11:09 They should've included 24h vs 12h time format as well
Remember when Android use to be super innovative? The updates use to have so many cool surprises.
They are technically considered cool suprises and innovative the thing is Samsung like did most of them 2 years ago 😂 so they look minor and insignificant if Android was closed source like IOS no company would've had their skin or OS so Android would look advanced especially when the competitor is the backward IOS 😅🤣
Can someone plz tell me how to get the taskbar. I downloaded the android 14 beta and still don't have it.
Im confused 😅 i have the Pixel 7 but it doesn't mention a new update just Android 13 😢
Really bummed about loss of 32bit support. Backwards compatibility has always been one of the killer android features for me
What apps do you run that are still 32 bit? I can't find a single one I have that's 32 bit.
@@whenhen i meant it more in the context of games. Easiest example would be Flappy bird as shown in the video but i guess it has at least many good clones by now. There are many other older games many of which don't receive updates anymore and are likely to be 32bit only, like Gravity Guy if i'm not mistaken.
@@whenhen happy mod is 32 bit. I can no longer use that. I know it may not be many, but the ones excluded are very useful.
@@iodreamify Move On.... You're like the guy who still thinks pointing to himself with his thumbs is still funny/cool.....
And it's what preventing Android from moving quickly towards refinement.
I really, really want a "allow app to run in background" permission.
what about that sd maid app whasnt that good?
🔥👌🏼
Is it a bug where you select light mode but the quick settings are on dark mode?
They're going back to the naming scheme?
The disabling duplicated apps is because it may not do what you want or want. For example settings would just be the same app, and Google apps use device account to login with Google, and they already have multi-account support.
Sir is it possible to root a pixel device from Verizon ? And if possible please upload a video sir
So now Google should make a rule that every phone with certain specs will get a particular update . Manufacturer with skins are also . I use a poco x3 pro with pixel experience Android 13 rom
whats the wallpaper app on the video?
+1
One ui got most of them already
Yup
The bottom taskbar is a UX Nightmare!
