Android is all about customization, and the aftermarket development community is the driving force behind that liberty. The developers often come up with creative ideas to re-use an existing design component in a completely different way than the one it is intended for. Take the example of Energy Notch by XDA Recognized Developer jagan2 - a cool app that puts the display-notch of the OnePlus 6T to use by turning the space around the notch into an animated battery indicator.

At the time, anyone registered on the Motorola Feedback Network could participate in the program and try out a preview build of Android 10 on their devices.

Android Pie kernel sources now available for the Motorola One Power, Moto G7, Redmi 7, and Redmi Y3
The kernel source code based on Android Pie for the Motorola One Power, Moto G7, Redmi 7, and Redmi Y3 are now available.
Android's customizability is one of the reasons for its immense popularity and its open-source nature allows independent developers and enthusiasts to create tools that allow you to fine-tune the experience with Android devices. The public availability of kernel source code for specific devices plays a vital role in spurring the development of AOSP-based ROMs, official support for custom recoveries like TWRP, or custom kernels. Under GNU General Public License (GPL), manufacturers are compelled to share kernel sources for any Linux kernel used on their device so that the development community can benefit from them. With the growing awareness of consumers, more and more companies are using early access to the kernel sources as a selling point. Xiaomi is among them and has now released the kernel sources for Redmi 7 and the Redmi Y3, which were recently launched in India.
