Quality guidelines for all apps plus specific criteria for tablet, TV, and Auto apps provide testing templates. You use these to confirm that your apps offer the basic UI design, features, and functions expected by Android users. Target a recent API level.
Google Play requires that new apps target at least Android 9. Build your Android App Bundle. When you're ready to make your app available to users, either for testing or as a final product, build your Android App Bundle in Android Studio. Google Play will use your app bundle to generate, sign and serve optimized APKs for each user's device, resulting in a smaller app to download and install.
Run internal tests. Use the internal test track to push your app to up to internal testers to get feedback before making your app available to external users in the closed, open, or production tracks.
Use multiple closed test tracks for different versions of your app before pushing them to open test tracks or production. Plan your app's Play store listing. Prepare the descriptions, promotional graphics, screenshots, and videos you'll add to your app's Play store page. Make sure you include a link to your privacy policy if required.
Localize your store listing in all the languages your app supports and for the countries you're targeting. Build interest in your app or game with pre-registration and set up a custom pre-registration listing page.
Upload your Android App Bundle to the closed or an open test track. Closed and open testing tracks can help greatly in discovering issues with your app, giving you the opportunity to fix those issues and raise the quality of your initial release. Learn how to upload an Android App Bundle and learn about best practices for open tests. Define your app's device compatibility. Let the Play store know which Android versions and device screen sizes your app is designed to work on.
Check the pre-launch reports. When you upload an Android App Bundle to the closed or open track, you'll receive a pre-launch report.
Watch the event Excellent apps, across devices. Check out the event View tech talks. Check out the latest details on features like Material You and our redesigned app widgets! Learn more. That's mostly because the Material You design is available here. Other manufacturers won't be able to offer this as clearly on other android phones.
What does Material You, do? It's designed to allow you to customize your whole phone's user interface. If you swap to a blue wallpaper, it will then bring that blue shade into the rest of the interface. It's an exciting update, but this is mostly something that you'll find useful on Pixel devices. If you own a device from Samsung or another Android phone maker, it's currently unclear if you'll get these features.
Security is the next big talking point, and the company is claiming this is the most secure smartphone on the market. A new Titan M2 element of the Tensor chip is designed to help protect the data on your smartphone. Here's some more on Google Tensor, which is the new chipset available on these phones. This is the first time we've seen Pixel phones with the company's own chipset inside. Google says it has been working on Tensor for the last few years, and it's optimized to work on Google's ML models.
What does that mean for you? It's still not entirely clear, but it should mean Google has a lot more control over what its chipset is capable of doing. Google says this is "the most advanced camera on a phone". The primary sensor captures 2. There's a 12MP ultrawide camera, while the Pixel 6 Pro features a telephoto camera as well.
You won't get great zoom from the Pixel 6, but the Pro is designed to offer 4x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom. Now we're onto some of the software features, and one of those is a feature called Magic Eraser. This is a tool that allows you to erase elements you don't want from photos, including people.
Your phone will automatically work out the elements you may want to remove, and give you the option to do it quickly. We'd love to try this feature out properly as it looks too good to work properly in every day life.
Fingers crossed we're wrong. This sounds like a feature that may be exclusive to Tensor-toting phones, so it may just be available on the Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro.
It could be a software upgrade that comes to older Pixel phones, but Google hasn't made that clear yet. Onto the next camera feature, which is something called Face Unblur. This is designed to ensure you can fix faces that are blurred in your images. Again, this looks fantastic but we're keen to try it out for ourselves. There's a new feature coming to Pixel handsets that allows you to double tap on the rear of your handset so Snapchat will openly immediately. This seems like something you'll want to change in the settings if you're keen on Snapchat.
It won't be activated by default. Real Tone is a new Pixel 6 camera features that is designed to improve the quality when taking photos of people of color. Google is talking about how there are biases within traditional imaging technology, and this is an attempt to tackle the problem. We don't yet know exactly how this will work, but it sounds like it'll be a feature that is activated by default on the camera. Speech is the next subject, and it sounds like there may be improvements in the way you can talk directly to your smartphone.
There's an on-device speech recognition model on the smartphones, and its most the advanced speech recognition the company has ever released. This should make it far more accurate when you're speaking directly to your smartphone. One example given in the show was the ability for your phone to realise someone's name in your contact book and work out that's who you're talking about when speaking to your phone.
Think about this being useful when you're talking about a friend called Katherine, rather than Catherine. Plus, you can now enter emojis with your voice. That's a big deal if you like using messaging apps with your voice, but you find it a hassle to include the little images. Another new feature is called Live Translate, which allows you to reply to messages in English and then it'll automatically translate to your chosen language.
The idea here is it'll be useful when speaking to friends and family who speak in another language. This happens all on the Pixel 6 device itself, so you won't need to be online for this to be working.
These translation features are also included on the camera app, so that should allow you to read signs in foregin languages or menus in restaurants when you're on holiday. Marie Kondo - yep, that Marie Kondo - just turned up during the live stream. The company is showing off how the phone can live translate, and Kondo is saying the features work fantastically well.
It'll be interesting to see how quickly these features work in real life and whether this video has been trimmed down to make it easier to watch. Either way, this is still a very big upgrade for anyone who wants to be able to translate quickly. That's it - the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro are fully announced, and you're able to pre-order the handsets today.
You'll then be able to buy them on October A sum up is happening on screen, and we can hear pianos starting. That seems like it'll be the end of the big event. Yep, that's it - thank you for joining us for our Google Pixel 6 and Google Pixel 6 Pro launch event live blog. We'll be covering these smartphones more over the next few hours and days. So, we're now on the day after the big Pixel 6 launch event - and a lot has happened since.
Let's catch you up. Let's talk first about the price: it's all over the place. The switch has been flipped! Android 12 is released, and it's coming to the Pixel range of phones first. Android 12 is launching with plenty of upgrades, but the biggest one is Material You, a user interface overhaul that lets users choose from color palettes and then makes all the icons and menus sync to those colors.
We've confirmed it's available on our Pixel 5a, although the regions and rollout may vary - and if you're on a non-Pixel phone, get ready for a longer wait as the brand build their software and connect it up to the relevant hardware. Right, how about the thought of two of the very best flagship phones on the market compared?
That's what we've done for you - taken the Google Pixel 6 Pro, and our early impressions, and compared it to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. While they share very similar screens, they also come with a big disparity in power We need to test side-by-side, but can the Pixel 6 pick things back up? Check it all out and tell us which one you prefer - at this early stage - over on Twitter. OK, maybe it's less about the best of the best, but how about the two new phones compared?
How are the screens different - does Hz make a difference? What about battery? What about price, availability, release date or internal storage? So much to know Google Pixel 6 vs Google Pixel 6 Pro: how do the new phones compare? We're guessing that, if you're reading this the next day after launch, you're curious as to what's going on with Google.
So you're likely with us in being really annoyed that the Pixel Fold still hasn't emerged as an actual thing, as the rumored model sounds really good. It's mostly because this could be one of the first mainstream rollable phones, among a host of other fancy features - but that's all moot now as it didn't happen. Anyway, it hasn't dulled our desire to bring you all the important rumors and leaks we hear about this phone, so you can still catch up on the latest Google Pixel Fold facts. Oh, and what about that chipset running these two new Pixel 6 phones?
The Tensor one that we keep wanting to call the Tencent? It looks like it'll power some really great photography capabilities - but there's surely more to it, right? And we've got all the information you need in our ' What is the Google Tensor chip, anyway?
