Tecno to roll out Android 14 beta for Camon 20 series – Times of India

I/O 2023 is the annual developer conference, held by Google annually. The company launched a slew of products including three new Pixel devices–Google Pixel 7a, the first-ever Google Pixel Tablet and Google Pixel Fold along with several new AI advancements. Google also unveiled its latest version of the mobile operating system — Android 14. The operating system is currently in beta and is available on a range of popular devices.
“Guided by its brand essence of ‘Stop At Nothing’, Tecno is committed to unlocking the best and newest technologies for forward-looking individuals from hardware and design innovations to the latest software developments. As such, we’re delighted to be continuing our long-term partnership with Google to bring Android 14 Beta to the newest Camon 20 Series, which allows our users to be among the first to experience the pleasures of the new features on Android 14.” said Jack Guo, General Manager of Tecno.
Delivering a host of upgrades for privacy, security, performance, and user customisation, the Android 14 Beta will help to further enhance the Camon 20 series’ user experience in ways such as –
Higher privacy level: Starting with Android 14, apps with a target SDK Version lower than 23 cannot be installed, making it harder for malware to avoid such security and privacy improvements. Ultimately, it serves to help improve security and privacy for smartphone users.
Longer battery life: Android 14’s updated functionality enables the system to better handle the background tasks, downloads, uploads, etc., which in turn improves the system efficiency to reduce power drain for longer battery life.
Larger fonts and smarter scaling: To provide low-vision users with better accessibility options, Android 14 allows larger font scaling. A non-linear scaling curve strategy ensures large text and small text elements scale at different rates to prevent large elements from scaling too much, while also preserving the proportional hierarchy between elements of different sizes.
