The latest Android Q beta 5 is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to measuring up with great interface features that have been available on manufacturer overlays for a while. Better late than never, and that goes for all the navigational gestures that will be employed on system level when Android Q hits your handset.

Using the new system gesture feels much smoother than most overlays, as it continuously tracks your finger’s movement, so you can swipe down anywhere on the display, as you can see in the video below, and the notification shade will be unfurled without having to stretch all the way up on your 6″ phone. Since beta 5 seems to be the final preview build, we are expecting that Google drops the Android Q commits to manufacturers very soon, and all this gesture bonanza finally seems here to stay. It took a while for the Android team to figure out ergonomics but, again, better late than never.
