• Lock screen icon location

Google moved the lock icon from Android’s lockscreen to the top of the screen (previously located at the bottom of the display).

• Improved back gesture icon

Google has improved the gesture’s icon. First, the arrow changes between being white and black based on the background. Second, the icon has a bouncing animation when it’s used.

• Notifications can be swiped away in both directions

By default in Android Q Beta 4, users can swipe notifications away in either direction.

• Rotation button

Like before, when auto-rotate is turned off, the above button will pop up when the device is moved to a landscape orientation. It will work without enabling the system-wide auto-rotate setting.

• Live wallpapers preview button

If you use live wallpapers on your smartphone, you will now see a small preview box.

• Google Pay in the power menu

This new addition gives users the ability to quickly see and slide through some of the information they have in Google Pay with just a long-press of the power button.
