Official Android 7.0 Nougat features

As expected , Google released Android 7.0 Nougat yesterday, August 22. The company has just put up the official Nougat page, which contains a rundown of the main user facing features. From what we can see so far, it looks like the stable release going out today is very similar to Developer Preview 5 (covered further below).

Here’s a brief rundown of the main official Nougat features, as per Google – stay tuned for our in-depth look coming soon.

New JIT compiler for faster updates, VR mode, and Vulkan API support.

Productivity

Bundled notifications, direct reply, and notification controls.

System usability improvements

Customizable quick settings, redesigned quick settings bar, redesigned Settings, emergency information, and lockscreen wallpaper.

Accessibility

I think this nougat will be much better than the useless marshmallow that causes phone to hang and drains battery. The main thing I love about this is the split screen mode but I know tecno for tecno and infinix users like us, this upgrade is not for us, at least not yet

Marshmallow is even good, lollipop is more useless.

Okay o

We should continue mumuing and throwing cash as if we will do more than downloading, calling, browsing or playing game on it

I trust Nigerians, they will start hunting for the new devices that will come with d new software. While some of us are still rocking the kitkat version not to talk of lollipop or the marshmallow, now we are having Nougat

One thing with these companies is that, they want to remain in business by throwing out new versions every now and then.
