Android P isn’t too far away now. The developer preview of Android P is expected to drop very soon (like mid-March-soon), before the official unveiling at Google I/O 2018 and the subsequent roll out later on this year.
The new update will apparently be called Android Pie, which makes sense given Google’s love of all things dessert-based. Android Pecan has also been muted. But Pie seems to be the brand everyone agrees on. Either way, more and more details are surfacing about what to expect from the new update once it drops.
And The Latest Android P Feature To Leak is More Robust Call Blocking
Discovered by XDA Developers, the advanced call-blocking features provide an array of methods to block nefarious callers from getting in touch with you. You can, for instance, manually enter a number you want blocked or setup conditions based on the following things:
- The phone number is not in your contacts list
- The phone number is not disclosed by the caller (Private)
- The phone number is from a pay phone
- The phone number does not have any caller ID information (Unknown/Unidentified)
This feature can, however, be deactivated by your carrier, so if you’re buying an Android P phone via a network or carrier, they might switch this feature off – you know, because they like doing things like that with your phone.
As always, with respect to this kind of thing, it always PAYS to go unlocked with your phone. You get more options, more features, and better value for money, as you’re not tied to a specific carrier or network. If you’re thinking about getting the Pixel 3 once it drops, I would 100% advise you to go the unlocked route via Google Play.
Yes, it’s more expensive. But look after your phone and you’ll be able to sell it 12 months later for around 60% of the RRP value and put that towards the Pixel 4 – or, whatever handset you desire. Expensive upfront, but it definitely pays dividends over time, as you can save a fortune on SIM-only plans.
