Sony has released Android 10 updates for Xperia 10 and 10 Plus. The update has been launched in Germany-but is currently only available to users with telecommunications brand equipment. Many fan sites of Sony Xperia reported this situation online.

Sony did not provide a detailed overview of the innovations included in the update. However, this update should include innovations made by Google on Android 10. This includes dark mode.

In this way, the user interface of Google Apps Gmail, calendar and photos can be changed to black. When reading in a dark environment, this should make it easier to satisfy your eyes.

Last more privacy

Android 10 also improves the control of privacy settings. Each user can decide what data is shared on the device, when and how. For example, for Internet and application activities, you can decide whether and how long to save the data. The user can choose from three location options: the application can always [only when in use] or never read the location.

With smart replies, you can reply to received messages faster. This function not only provides ready-made answers as selection options, but also provides suggested responses. If the address is found in the email, the route to the meeting point can be displayed on Google Maps.

With the update of Android 10, gesture control has also been improved. Go forward, back, go to the Start screen and switch between apps more smoothly, making it easier to implement.

So you install the update
