In fact, Google is also exploring the idea of offering the earlier versions of Android Q through a pre-built GSI. One of the amazing deals here is that tech giant Google might open this generic system image (GSI) to regular users as well, which would mean any Android phone, which is Project Treble compliant, would be able to test out Android Q quickly. Looking at these information's, it is clear that this is just a start and a lot more to come. In addition, it would not be wrong to say that this is just a heads up for the Android app development companies to brace themselves for the future.

The newer version of Android Q will allow users to make use of the Play Store policy update guidelines only. This new feature will inform the user that they are installing an app based on Lollipop or earlier and that it will not be able to employ the latest features of the smartphone. This could be a great move because it gives warning Android user to not to install an app with the older version to stay away from the bad user experience.

You may have heard about the split screen and multi-tasking feature in Android OS previous versions. This means you can access multiple apps at one time without having to compromise with any of them. While you are interacting with an app, the other apps will go in inactive mode and will operate only once you tap on their screen further. This feature of the upcoming version will make it a compulsion for the foldable devices to have it, in order to enjoy multi-tasking feature.
