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.

Performance

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

Battery & data

Doze on the go for better battery management and new data saver for restricting data usage for background apps.

Productivity

Split-screen mode, picture-in-picture, and double tap to quickly switch.

Notifications

Bundled notifications, direct reply, and notification controls.

System usability improvements

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

Emoji

Unicode 9 emoji


Privacy and security

New direct boot, seamless software updates (for new devices), file-based encryption, and scoped folder access.

Device setup and migration

More settings are no covered by Android Backup.

Internalization

Multiple locales support, new languages, and new language preferences.

Accessibility
Accessibility settings are now part of the setup, customizable display size, accessibility mono output, and variable text to speech speed.

Android for Work
New work mode lets you turn off notifications from work apps.

Google will be pushing the OTA to Nexus devices over the air, so keep an eye out for an update notification in your status bar. If you want to check manually, just go to Settings > About Phone > System updates > Check for updates.

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.
