All Top New Features of Android 7.0 Nougat

Android 7.0 Nougat

We have all seen Android grow from scratch to literally everything. There was a time when no one even knew about the existence of Android. Now, majority of us are seen with an Android smartphone. This was possible only because of the smart and innovative work by the folks at Google. Everyone noticed the huge step-up in the development of Android after the success of Android 4.2 JellyBean. Google launches a new version of Android every year with new features and improvements. 

This year again, Google is here with a new version of Android officially named "Android 7.0 Nougat". I know everyone was really rooting for it to be "Nutella" rather than anything else (including me), being favorite of almost everyone worldwide.

Anyways, keeping all those things aside let's look at all the features and improvements Android 7.0 Nougat is bringing along.

Multi-Window (Finally!!)

All the Android enthusiasts have seen several OEMs like Samsung and LG adapting Multi-Window feature in their own modified version of Android, which made many users envy, that were having a device from the nexus line-up or any other such OEM products. Google has finally included the multi-window mode support in Nougat.

But don't get too excited about this, as developers will have to add support for multi-window into their apps. After doing that, Android 7.0 will manage the rest on its own. This means users now won't have any excuse to chose OEMs over the ones that include stock Android.

Bye Bye Bloatware!

Yes! It's official. Vendors now do not have to include all the Google apps as a standard rule stated by Google. This means, apps like Google Newsstand, Google Play games and many other such apps, that do not really see the light of day on your phone, will not be pre-installed to hog on that memory of your device.

Doze Mode

Google had introduced a new way of saving battery in Android Marshmallow named "Doze." It basically made your phone go to a "Deep Hibernation" state when the screen is off and the phone is stationary for a certain period of time. Now, the doze mode will work in a two way manner. First, the doze mode will kick in the moment your screen goes off, regardless of it being stationery. Second, the same as it was in Marshmallow, but only improved.

This means, there maybe a chance that our phone might hold up for more than a day's usage.

Revamped Settings

The settings menu has completely been redesigned. In the developer previews, the only change from that of the previous versions were, more information regarding the sub-menu below its name. 

But now, there is a complete hamburger button or say, a sidebar at the left in order to access the sub-menu of the settings. This a much welcomed change to the interface as it does look better than the previous iterations.

Android 7.0 Nougat — the next version of Android announced

In a very surprising move, Google has officially revealed the name of the next version of Android — Android 7.0 Nougat. 

Google released Android N Developer Preview couple months back and now the search giant has officially announced the name of next major Android update.

Talking about the version number, there's no official announcement made yet But we are pretty sure that Nougat will be numbered Android 7.0.
