Android 14 features and changes list | Android Developers

Whilst Google announced a ton of AI powered features for Android 14 at Google I/O, it seems like most of them will be Pixel exclusive...

Hoping Samsung does more with OneUI 6 since Google's really pushing for Pixel exclusivity on Android now 🙄

Android 14 is the most underwhelming updated yet. Google didn't even promote it well on I/O. About OneUI 6, I just wish Samsung updates the control center. It's too outdated. I know it's simple and working well, but I would love some visual tweaks.

No more apps to kill all the background processes and free up memory.
- Not a bad thing, honestly. Free RAM is wasted RAM.
But of course the restriction to sideloading older apps exists for all Android 14 phones...
- what restrictions?
  
  You now can't even sideload an app with a target SDK level that is too low. This locks you out of a bunch of older abandoned FOSS apps that often are very lightweight on storage.
