What's New in "Android N" ?

The Latest  Android Version - Android N, Developer Preview is released.


The Key Feature apart from its older versions is "Multitasking". We can access two apps at a time by holding the app and dragging it. We can also switch to previous apps by just double tapping the tab button. Multitasking may get crashed, as it is a beta version. It is released for the app developers to sync their apps and to test.



For saving the battery, Android N introduced a system mode named "Doze". It defers the apps running in CPU and network activities that run when the device is idle or in the pocket. And Project Svelte is an ongoing effort to minimize RAM used by system and apps across the range of Android devices in the ecosystem. In Android N, Project Svelte is focused on optimizing the way apps run in the background.

Nowadays we  use to our smart devices at the night, for that Android N consists "Night Mode". It decreases the brightness automatically or we can make it stay the same way. When the Night Mode is switched on, the device display goes to Dark mode, mean display changes to dark color and screen brightness will be reduced.



 What not to say about Android, it is used as a mini PC. We are used to the internet, each and every moment. We forget about the data usage and continue using it. After some time, we are out of data as our background apps consume all our data even when we do not use them. For that, Android N consists a "Data Saver", which allows data to only required apps and can also put restrictions on Data usage.


The other important thing is Quick Settings and Notifications. What if we are able to reply to the Notifications  at the instant we see them? It can be done in Android N, as we scroll it down we can see the reply option. And also, we can see all our emails at an instant.




Quick Settings like Wi-Fi, Torch, and a few had been included on the top of the Notifications without going in. We can also see our custom settings view by dragging down.  And also, a sidebar is added for quickly jumping on to the required section in the settings.
