    Almost everything she’s talking about it’s already on my Galaxy note 9 and 10 with Samsung ui

      Yeah you are right. Especially that notification bubble. It has been in OneUI for sometime now. They call it “Smart pop-up view”

      They both copy each other, no one has original ideas anymore. Boring.

    Android 10 on my samsung S10 has native screen video recording.

    Can’t wait to get it on my S10+ in 2 years time

  9. Joe Robe

    June 12, 2020 at 8:38 pm

    Will it also come for the Samsung Galaxy S20+ ?

    • I Don't Play Madden

      June 13, 2020 at 12:25 am

      Yea but most of these features are already on Samsung UI

  10. Aneesh Joshi

    June 12, 2020 at 9:00 pm

    Quite a lot of this is already in the android 10 OxygenOS implementation by OnePlus. I have the native screen recorder, granular permissions and even the bubbles permission appears in the developer options on my OnePlus 5 from years ago.

    Does anyone know what the background music is?

  13. nuyou21

    June 12, 2020 at 10:14 pm

    So there’s even more shamelessly ripped-off iOS features in Android 11. ????‍♂️????

    • Dark Shadows

      June 12, 2020 at 10:29 pm

      Apple and google always copy features from each others OS so nothing new

    Great video, one my favorite CNET presenters

    Audio switchg is the one i really wanting for years considering it has been around on ios feature. Finally..

  17. David Farrell

    June 12, 2020 at 11:51 pm

    It wont be the most popular version of android until 2023 when version 14 is out. ????

  18. Obi Bren Benobi

    June 13, 2020 at 12:15 am

    wtf.. The music control being so far up in the notification shade will suck! I don’t wanna have to reach that far up to change songs etc without opening the app.. It was so nice being able to skip tracks and seek to a certain part of the track right from the notifications….

  19. Nicholas Welch

    June 13, 2020 at 12:30 am

    Does the native screen record use internal audio like the iPhone?

  20. Huron Toikiy

    June 13, 2020 at 12:53 am

    this version iz just a big jock ????????????where iz the Double tap screen on/off, dark mode settings menu, dark background notification??
    u no what? you all shoulda root ur phones… android 11 tssss

  21. Tom Edwards

    June 13, 2020 at 12:54 am

    The UI is getting busier every update and I’m not a fan of the more cluttered look of the controls and notifications honestly

  22. Nana Jay

    June 13, 2020 at 12:58 am

    Samsung have had “notification bubble” for like a couple of years ago in their OneUI. They call it “Smart pop-up view”

  23. Raj Software Solutions

    June 13, 2020 at 1:19 am

    It should have been android 10.1 not android 11…

  24. navid ahmad

    June 13, 2020 at 1:29 am

    Without even watching video:
    It will be more resource hungry.
    Privacy will go further down. Im 100% sure they wont do anything for privacy.
    New unwanted features like wallpaper, themes etc .
    Accessability to common and most widely used apps will be more difficult and alos the needed settings will be difficult to get.

    Hmmm so now it’s turning into an iPhone? Don’t make it easier for the fandroids, make it “ cUsTiMiZaBle”.

    • franklingoodwin

      June 13, 2020 at 6:27 pm

      It’s only a big deal when Google or Oneplus does it. Didn’t the fanboys send you the memo? ????

  32. Hedi Maatoug

    June 13, 2020 at 6:28 am

    She considers herself a nerd for using screen recording. Really?

    • franklingoodwin

      June 13, 2020 at 6:33 pm

    When iOS copies something everyone starts yelling but when android copies its sweet
    Such a hypocrisy

    • franklingoodwin

      June 13, 2020 at 6:26 pm

      I’m not even an IOS guy but I pointed out that most of the new Android features are copied from IOS and Samsung…I just got called a fanboy. That’s fanboy logic for you ????

    @CNET I have already seen these android 11 features videos from other channels like 10 times, but saw that it’s Lexy here (how could I miss) and now it’s the 11th video.

  51. Johnson Abraham

    Wow, watching this video made me appreciate how much Samsung is ahead with One UI.

    June 14, 2020 at 7:21 am

    Maybe the term in android world is Google Launcher 11.0 cause some feature like bubble chat on Samsung OneUi for many years now. And screen recorder, really its new for pixel? For God sake, samsung have this more than 2 years now.

  54. Mark B

  60. Callum Sewell

    June 14, 2020 at 8:33 pm

    It’s interesting to see how close both iOS and Android are coming, over the years the differences are minimal. I think it’s good for consumers, best of both worlds.

    June 16, 2020 at 1:12 pm

    Google just takes up on the innovation that other companies do on their Android Skins. Just like the dark mode, came so late after they saw that Oneplus does it and every1 loved it. In Android 11 they have copied Samsung and Xiaomi…. Wheres the innovation Google?
