When Android 13 has been released relatively recently and there are many mobiles that have not yet begun to enjoy its features, we are already thinking about the next update to the Android 14 operating system, which Google must already be working on.
We still don’t know what its scope will be and there is a lot of information that escapes us, since there is still a long way to go before its final presentation and the source code will not be published until the end of next year.
However, there will be a developer preview of Android 14 that can give us an idea of what we can get in the next operating system , which we can see probably in a few months. Most likely, in the first months of next year we will know more about what the new Google operating system has in store for us.
There are features that have already been introduced in Android 13 , but in the absence of more development time or developer acceptance they have had to be postponed, and it is precisely these that interest us for the future.
There are some changes that were close to being released, but ultimately didn’t. These are in the internal code , so there is still a long way to go for Android 14 and some of them may not end up arriving. Only time will tell. These are some of the ones we like the most.
Satellite connectivity
One of the novelties of this year’s iPhone could come with the next version of Android, since after the announcement of T-Mobile and SpaceX to use satellites of low Earth orbit to expand the coverage of remote locations, the senior vice president of Android Hiroshi Lockheimer He gave his support to enable it in the next version of his operating system.
Hiroshi Lockheimer@lockheimerWild to think about user experiences for phones that can connect to satellites. When we launched G1 in ’08 it was a stretch to get 3G + Wifi working. Now we’re designing for satellites. Cool! Excited to support our partners in enabling all of this in the next version of Android!September 01, 2022 • 17:06899

However, there is not much information about what will finally be added to Android 14. Most likely, your mobile will receive mobile coverage around the world when this novelty is incorporated.
Android resource economy
Google is looking to fix the problem of background app management features with new management features, though one of the biggest changes, TARE, short for The Android Resource Economy , hasn’t been released.
This is a rethinking of how background work is handled by the system. It is disabled by default in Android 13, although there is a switch in developer options to enable it.
It is possible that it will arrive with the new version of Android since it is a very advanced and practical function.
Predictive back gestures
Although it is new to Android 13, you will only find it currently if you search for it and enable it in the developer options. This new feature allows you to preview your destination before you finish swiping back on the screen.
The back gesture shows the home screen behind the active app so you know where you’re going when you complete the action.
For this to be possible, developers must update the apps , something that has not been possible in many cases with Android 13 and so it is expected that it will finally be available in the new version of the operating system, since they will have more time to do it. In Android 14 it would be enabled by default.
