[ad_1]

In this week's best articles: Gmail and Google Assistant are in a dark mode We discuss the ease with which Apple could kill Wear OS. The Pixel 4 leaks beyond our expectations, and more.

Now that Android 10 is officially in our hands, especially on Google Pixel devices, the remaining apps that have not launched the dark mode are starting to feel ridiculous. Fortunately, this week saw the launch of dark mode for two of the most anticipated Android applications, Google Search (including the Google Assistant) and Gmail.

Unfortunately, as in the case of launching a Google update, the deployment of each is underway. very slowly. In the meantime, most users should at least have the dark version of the Gmail home screen widget.

The 2019.08.18.267044774 version of Gmail is required with this version now widely available on the Play Store today. However, the new "Topic" menu at the top of the general settings is being deployed via a separate server-side update.

On the other side of the technical news, Apple has announced its latest product line, including the iPhone 11 and the Apple Watch Series 5. See these devices prompted our Stephen Hall to decide on Apple's ability to kill the Google Wear operating system, but also potential Google has with Pixel 4 this year.

Perhaps more simply, I think Google can take advantage of the fact that the iPhone 11 and the iPhone 11 Pro are both modest upgrades at best compared to recent iPhones. I've mentioned above that cameras are really the biggest upgrade for all users of the last two generations of iPhone (iPhone X and iPhone XS), and that's precisely the Pixel who has taken in advance over those last two years the only way they are an improvement.

Of the many other Pixel 4 leaks that occurred this week – more on this in a moment – one of the most important leaks is in the form of a draft version of the application Google Camera available online. This ready-to-install upgrade includes a complete redesign of the user interface that allows for smarter use of your display.

The most important change brought to the Google Camera interface is frankly its minimalism. Everything is transparent with the shutter button, the lens selector and the preview of the gallery that now floats without a black background. This helps to make you feel like you're holding and capturing a window to the world with your phone.

Finally, the Google Pixel 4 has managed to exceed the Pixel 3 in terms of the amount of information disclosed online. Perhaps due to changes in Made by Google's supply chain, a significant number of Thai and Vietnamese technical journals, bloggers and YouTubers have all procured Pixel 4 demonstration units. , we now have images and videos from outside the three colors of Pixel 4 and one thorough understanding of its hardware and internal software.
