As expected, the new system will come with a couple of new features including full-screen swipe gestures, dark theme and more. As a beta update, we will generally expect some bugs but this is the third beta release thus the system is expected to be quite clean. Although this beta is primarily for app testing by developers, you can still have it installed if you want to have a first feel of the Android Q system. Nevertheless, you may want to be careful with installing this update.
