Android 10 smartphones (Android Queen Cake)

Android 10

— smartphones running Android Q, the tenth version of this OS. It can be either regular Android 10.0 or special editions — Go Edition or HMS.

The original Android 10.0 was released in September 2019. Among the main innovations introduced in this version are an expanded set of full-screen gestures (with the possibility of optimization in some applications), full support of 5G communication, a number of important security updates (including a separate encryption standard for devices that do not support the AES format at the hardware level), " dark screen mode at the system level, enhanced support of augmented reality and improved optimization for smartphones with a flexible screen. As for special editions, their features are as follows:

— Go edition. Modification of Android, designed for low-cost smartphones with basic hardware. Both the OS itself and standard applications (Assistant, Gmail, etc.) have been redesigned in this edition in such a way as to ensure reliable operation even with low computing power. At the same time, the developers tried to preserve the features of full-fledged Android as much as possible — however, some specific features in the Go Edition were still not available (for example, standard maps do not support turn-by-turn navigation).

— HMS. Edition of Android, used in smartphones from Huawei. Due to US sanctions against China, this company cannot fully use Google services (Google Mobile Services — GMS) in its Android smartphones. As a replacement, HMS — Huawei Mobile Services were introduced. These services include Huawei ID, AppGallery, branded equivalents of Google's core services (assistant, browser, cloud storage, music/video, etc.), and app developer tools.
