Google raised the minimum technical requirements that smartphones must meet in order to update to Android 13 and load Google Mobile Services (GMS), which affects the most basic terminals, normally launched under Android Go Edition.

Android Go is a lighter version of Google’s mobile operating system, designed specifically for the most basic devices, with less than 2GB of RAM. The optimizations it includes allow you to speed up the performance of your phone and applications while saving on mobile data.

The company published the list of requirements for Android mobile devices to update to Android 13 and use GMS, as indicated by Google product expert Jason Bayton and collected by Esper.io technical editor Mishaal Rahman in Twitter.

According to Bayton, the new phones will need to have at least 2GB of RAM. This requirement also applies to new devices with Android Go, which must also have a minimum internal capacity of 16GB.

This means that devices that currently have Android 12 installed but do not meet the new minimum requirements will not be able to update to Android 13.

Google unveiled new features in Android 13 for Business, including, but not limited to, the ability to more easily separate and switch between work and personal profile and data.

The Mountain View company offers, through Android Enterprise, a range of tools and services to administer and manage devices based on its operating system used by a company.

The operating system also arrived at these phones, and it has done so with new features, as Google explained in a statement posted on its blog.

Android 13 allows you to customize the user experience of these devices from the Android Management application programming interface (API).

To do this, it introduces the ability to edit user settings, among other customization options. Additionally, this means the Android Enterprise team will be able to roll out new features more often, according to Google.

The latest version of Google’s operating system, Android 13, began deployment on Pixel terminals after completing the beta phase, with an eye toward its arrival on other brands’ smartphones later.

Android 13 maintains the Material You design language introduced with its predecessor, Android 12, which allows you to customize interface elements such as apps, including non-Google apps, to match the color theme of your wallpaper.

Users can set a language for each application individually, which can be different from the one they have assigned for the system, and customize Bedtime mode with a dark theme and wallpaper dimming.

This version of Android also protects information copied to the clipboard from unwanted access, and extends control over app notifications. And in audio, it introduces spatial audio for wireless headphones and the Bluetooth Low Energy Audio standard, which improves synchronization with the sound source.

Other features focus on improving multitasking and workflow synchronization with other devices such as Chromebooks, as stated by the company on its official blog.

La entrada Android 13 rollout begins apareció primero en Bitfinance.

Google announced that early next year 2022 it will officially launch the new Android 12 update designed specifically for devices with large screens, such as tablets, folding devices and Chromebooks, under the name Android 12L.

The company communicated through Android Dev Summit that the Android 12L will have new tools that will facilitate its use on large screens and will include improvements in multitasking.

In addition, it adds a new application programming interface (API), a set of tools that allows external developers to create applications compatible with this platform.

With Android 12L, Google seeks to adjust this operating system to the needs of devices with large screens and adapt to these formats, in order to make better use of its space, optimize applications and enhance productivity.

Greater efficiency

According to the search engine, in Android 12L they seek to improve the interface through a new design of the notification system, lock screen or home screen, as well as quick adjustments of devices that exceed 600dp.

The interface presents a notification panel that is divided into two panels (also its lock screen), intended for quick settings (shortcuts to the alarm configuration panel, WiFi, Bluetooth) and another in which the notifications of messages and interactions are displayed.

Also, Android 12L presents a new task bar to more easily manage applications as if it were a computer desktop, as well as a divided screen in which two applications can be opened simultaneously.

Android 12L is already available in its development phase through an emulator, but Google will carry out its official launch in early 2022 taking advantage of the launch of new devices with large screens.

Windows 11 may begin to install on Windows 10 computers later this year, but users will have 10 days to return to the previous version of the operating system if they are not convinced by the experience.

The possibility of updating to Windows 11 will depend on the characteristics of the computer. That is, whether it is compatible with the new version, although in a question and answer document for salespeople,Microsoft points out that most Windows 10 computers that currently are marketed meet the minimum requirements.

This document states that the distribution plans have not yet been finalized, but that the update will begin at the end of this year and will continue in 2022. During that time, Windows Update will indicate if the computer can be updated to the new version and when.

This update from Windows 10 to 11 will be free, and users will also have a 10-day trial period to decide if the experience offered by the new version meets their needs. If they are not convinced, they can go back to the previous version, with all their files and data intact.

Microsoft clarifies in this same document that Windows 11 maintains the performance and security of Windows 10 “with a redesign and a refreshed appearance”, but that it introduces new tools, sounds and applications, in order to “refresh” the experience on the computer .

This means that users are not required to upgrade to Windows 11. They may remain in the current version of the system, as Windows 10 support will continue until October 14, 2025.

The Windows “screen of death”, which reports that the computer had a problem and needs to be restarted, will no longer be blue in the upcoming Windows 11 operating system, where it adopts a black design.

Microsoft did not change the design of the Windows error screen since 2016, when it incorporated QR codes, while in 2012, still with Windows 8, it added a sad face emoji. Now, after the announcement at the end of June of the new system that will replace Windows 10, an important change in this element has been announced.

According to screenshots of the feature in the Windows 11 beta, although the content of the page remains the same as in Windows 10, the ‘screen of death’ has a black background instead of blue.

The rest of the information remains unchanged, with a percentage showing the time remaining for Windows to collect data about the problem, the error code, and a link and a QR code for additional information and support.

Windows 11 will reach users sometime in the second half of the year and it will do so with a new cycle of updates and support different from the one Microsoft has followed so far with Windows 10.

Updates to the new operating system will have an annual periodicity, compared to the biannual of Windows 10, and will be available in the second half of the year, as indicated by the company in its official forum.

Not all users will be able to upgrade their computers from Windows 10 to Windows 11. However, those with hardware compatible with the new version of the operating system will be able to choose to upgrade, and start the process when available.

These users will also have the possibility to pause and schedule the restart of the update, and even decide which updates they want to install on their computers.

Business customers will be able to upgrade to Windows 11 on existing Windows 10 service channels and through tools such as Windows Update for Business, Microsoft Endpoint Manager, and Windows Autopilot.

The support of this new version of the operating system will vary according to the edition that the user has. Thus, the Home, Pro, Pro for Workstations, and Pro Education editions will have it for 24 months, while for the Enterprise and Education editions it will be 36 months.

In the case of security updates, the monthly distribution will be maintained, although they will be up to 40% smaller in size than Windows 10 updates.

La entrada Windows 11 will have annual updates apareció primero en Bitfinance.

Microsoft introduced Windows 11, the next generation of its operating system, which will begin to arrive for free on compatible Windows 10 computers later this year.

Windows 11 is a redesign of the operating system, focused on productivity. Bet on the cloud, to adapt to work and study environments that are not limited to the interior of four walls, and to an interface optimized for different types of screen, with customization possibilities and separate configurations for each situation.

However, this version demands minimum requirements for a team to be able to update to it, as stated by Microsoft. Specifically, a 64-bit system on chip (SoC) or processor, with a frequency of at least 1GHz or two or more cores. Also a RAM of at least 4GB and internal capacity of 64GB or more.

It also requires UEFI firmware with Secure Boot, Trusted Platform Module (version 2.0), DirectX 12 support, and a high-definition monitor, with a resolution of 720 pixels, that exceeds a diagonal size of 9 inches.

The new minimum requirements of Windows 11 will prevent all computers from updating to this version, but so that users can know in advance, the company urges to use the free application he ‘PC Health Check’, to check compatibility.

The company has reported that next week it will release the first ‘Build’ Windows 11 in its Windows Insider program. The free consumer update will begin rolling out later this year for supported Windows 10 PCs, and will also be available on new devices.
