My Essential PH-1 has gotten a little banged up. I don't use a case and it shows. 2 corners are scratched up and there's a little crack of the screen on one of those corners.
I still love the PH-1 so I shopped for a replacement. I found one on swappa.com and got it.
As long as I'm going to reload everything why not just put a beta operating system on it? What could go wrong?
I haven't found much different in Android Q. The biggest change I've seen is the gesture navigation. This is a lot like the iPhone X's interface. Swipe up from the bottom to go home. Swipe in from the left or right to go back.
But...
Swiping in from the left is normally how you activate the "hamburger" menu. So I just don't do that.
Alternatively you can go back by swiping in from the right. That doesn't activate the "hamburger" menu but you have to be very deliberate to avoid the active app from sending a swipe on a menu item, e.g. delete a podcast in Pocket Casts.
The other gesture I've struggled with is to get the app list. The story is that you swipe up from the bottom part of the way and then stop. The app list will slide in from the left.
That has been difficult to execute dependably. Maybe Google will change that before the final release of Android Q.
