I apologize for the confusion, but there is no official version of Android called "Quince Tart." After Android 9 Pie, the next major release of the Android operating system is Android 10. It was officially announced on September 3, 2019, and introduced several new features, improvements, and visual changes. Here are some key features of Android 10:

1. System-wide dark mode: Android 10 introduced a system-wide dark mode, allowing users to switch to a darker color scheme across the entire user interface and supported apps. Dark mode aimed to reduce eye strain and save battery life on devices with OLED screens.
