       Even before the Android 9.0 Pie has appeared on the Android distribution dashboard (which tracks how many Android users are on which version of Android), having less than 0.1% of the Android devices, an early build of Android Q has leaked which gives us a preview of its features.

      XDA developers managed to get a leaked Android Q build on Pixel 3 XL, on Wednesday. The preview is not like the Android Q Developer Preview that Google will roll out in March; it is helpful for confirming which new features and fixes Google plans to implement in the next public version of the Android operating system.

     The Google has already confirmed that the Android Q will have system-wide dark mode, after the hints of the Android Q in November, which is the most significant feature of the next android version. Now it is clearly confirmed, as this Android Q build by XDA has a fully functional system-wide dark mode in Display settings.

     XDA explains in its article that, “To enable the dark theme, you just have to tap on the “Set Dark mode” option in Display settings”. “You can set the dark theme to always be enabled or automatically be enabled depending on the time of day. Once enabled, the Settings, Launcher, Launcher settings, and Files app all gain a dark gray tinge. The volume panel, Quick Settings panel, and notifications all turn black.” XDA also found a developer option that “seems to enable dark mode for apps that don’t have a built-in dark mode option.”

   Just as it was in Android P, privacy will once again be a major area of focus for Google in Android Q. XDA explains that permissions have been totally revamped, you can get an overview of each app’s access to your data, and you can even restrict specific permissions, such as only allowing an app to access location data while in use.

    XDA also found a peculiar developer option for “Desktop Mode,” which is presumably related to the Samsung DeX accessory, but it was not available for activation. We’ll have to wait a bit longer to get more information about this feature.
