Google Assistant now introduces visual snapshot feature
After months of beta testing, Google officially announced Android P as Android 9.0 Pie and the public version is now rolling out to the proprietary Pixel series and the Essential Phone across the world.
Like the namesake pastry dough-based dish that comes with sweet and savoury ingredients, the company has incorporated several value-added features in Android Pie to offer a delightful experience for the phone users.

Unlike before, Google is closely working with a number of OEMs including Oppo, Essential, OnePlus, Nokia, Sony and Xiaomi to bring the new Android Pie OS to the respective devices.
