Android N Preview now available with multi-view and quick response – Hipertextual

The trial version of Android N for developers is already among us even after filtration will reappear surely soon.

If you have a Nexus 6P, 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 9 or Pixel C , you can get the ‘preview’ version of Android 7.0 … Nutella? Here are the main developments.

Multi-window

Now it was preliminary, though disabled by default in Android M. But developers can make applications officially support adapted to have two applications simultaneously. Samsung and other manufacturers had already included this feature of its own accord in their versions as well as Apple iOS and Microsoft Windows 10. It will be welcome. It will also include the ability to view videos on a small scrollable window as the picture in picture iPad in iOS 9

New notification panel

Completely redesigned. It allows changing even faster some of the most used options without moving all the way down. It also includes support to respond quickly to applications that pass to use the new API Android N, especially useful for messaging and social networks.

Saver Data

Google has built a system saving mobile data connections directly on Android N, allowing us to squeeze more data or better paid, without being spent on useless things. Developers can use this new feature, similar to that already present in Google Chrome for Android, for example.

Doze improved

Doze is one of the improvements more useful current Android M, allowing the terminal to stay at rest for longer consuming very little battery. Android N, Doze Google takes it one step further, allowing the terminal more specific emergency situations (receive notifications of a certain type, for example), and it will start running when the screen goes blank. Until now it was necessary that the terminal stand still without moving, for example on a table.

When will?

Hiroshi Lockheimer, who is in charge of Android since Sundar Pichai became CEO of Google, said that they will start sending the final version to manufacturers “this summer”. Considering the dates, we can speak of terminals with Android N for the months from October to November, when they arrive hypothetically new Nexus.

And will and later when incorporated as an upgrade for the terminals on the market, although perhaps does not require much work on the part of manufacturers, Android and N have an initial expansion than the pace of Android M, which has disappointed.
