Android P it was released in the first beta version this evening by the company Google, it can be installed by application developers for the Android platform, and of course there are many changes. One that is on everyone's attention at the moment is based on the fact that Android P will offer official support for iPhone X clones that have cutouts in the screen, the Google company "officially" making the trend of stupid cuts in phone screens.

Android P will allow Android smartphone manufacturers to use a special setting to block the display of content on the top central portion of phone screens, so that a cutout can be integrated there. The multitude of iPhone X Android clones presented and launched so far clearly confirmed the fact that in China all manufacturers are thinking about cutouts, and Android P will give them exactly what they need, software support for them.

Android P – the first beta version formalizes the cropping of eras

Android P is currently offered in beta version by the Google company, but it is clear that from here manufacturers will learn how to make easier software changes to cut the screens of smartphones that will be launched in the coming months. We already have clones of the iPhone X from Huawei, LG, or ASUS, but the inclusion of support for cutouts directly in Android P is a step forward towards the standardization of screens that are thought in such a way.

Android P is currently only being tested in beta by Google and should be available in the final version sometime in the fall, but a clear date will be announced most likely in August or September. In the meantime, it will be interesting to see what kind of applications Android developers will make with Android P to include cutouts in smartphone screens, the nightmare of Android fans now becoming a reality.
