Those who do update to Android 10 there is a lot of upgrades with the most highly anticipated is probably Dark Mode, which will introduce a black-and-grey theme across the interface that’s a lot friendlier on your eyes than the default stark white light.

Full gesture navigation will also be included in the new software, replacing the halfway house between buttons and gestures that came with Android 9. The handiest new feature for students will be focus mode, which lets you choose a list of apps you want to silence for a select period of time.
