Android 7.0 Nougat – Top 10 Features That Everyone Should Know
Home
Google has unveiled the suspense over the version N. It is Android Nougat, different
from the expected Android Nutella. Google has released the developer preview of
Android 7 on March 9, two months earlier from their scheduled Google I/O event. As
Always Google has paid close attention to upcoming and popular apps to understand
user needs and included these as a part of Android Nougat Release.
Who can get the Developer Preview?
You can peek into Google’s new Android OS if you are a Pixel C, Nexus 6 and Sony Xperia
Z3 user. These supported devices users can enroll in Android Beta Program and get OTA
(over the air) updates for Android N. For rest of us who still wants to get their hands
dirty with Nougat can install the latest packages for Android 7 on their Android Studio.
You will then have to create a virtual device (Nexus 6 preferably) using AVD Manager
and launch the emulator, thank me later.
Top 10 features of Android N (Android Nougat):
1) Quick Switch
Android will now have split-
screen multitasking which
Google likes to call Quick
Switch. It will open your
most recently used apps
side by side in different
tabs.
2. Seamless Update
Instead downloading an
Android update, then
installing and rebooting it,
Android N will now
automatically download and
install it on a secondary
partition, and you will have
the latest version of Android
when you restart the device
the next time. Thanks to JIT
(Just in Time) compiler you’ll
no longer see the “Android is
upgrading” screen following
the reboot.”
3. Google’s Keyboard Theme
You will be able to customize
the look of your keyboard with
the new keyboard themes that
Google has to offer.
4. Folder icons changed
Google has given a new looked to
their folder icon in their recent
developer previews. Makes it
more convenient and easy to use.
5. Notification Quick Reply
You can quick reply from the
notification shade of your
Android Smartphone, which
is one of the useful features
introduced in Android N. This
is more like learning from
app developers as many apps
had this feature available
before as well.
6. Lock screen Quick reply
In its recent developer preview, Google has taken the Quick Reply to the next level. Now
without unlocking your phone, you reply to your messages right from the lock screen.
7. Performance
Google’s new Android release has adopted a new graphics API called Vulkan which
promises to deliver greater visual performance. With an introduction to new JIT
compiler, Google claims it will improve battery life and will result in apps that can be 50
percent smaller while installing 75 percent faster.
8. Launcher Shortcuts and dark mode
Latest Android release will
not have launcher shortcuts
and dark theme mode.
9. New Emoji support
Google will introduce some
new sets of emojis in the
Nougat release of Android.
10. OpenJDK
After the Oracle-Google lawsuit, Google
has now finally decided to make a
switch from former Java API to
OpenJDK. OenJDK is an open-source
Java Development Kit.
