Top Android Nougat Features

Android Nougat starts to roll out this week, only certain Nexus devices will get this update in this week. You can learn more about the release here. Google's new version of Android comes with over 250 new features. Some are changes for faster performance, while others that you can immediately notice them. There are plenty of new tricks on the software that I highly recommend trying out as soon as possible.

Split Screen Apps 

Google is finally bringing out the most recognizable feature from Samsung Galaxy phones. Now with the split screen feature, you can view and operate two apps at the same time. I am using a Samsung S6 now, sometimes, I watch YouTube videos and check my Facebook simultaneously. While using this feature, you can also read an Email and reply to a text. Most third-party apps will be supporting split screen, but I doubt games will be supporting.












Easier APP Switching 

In the new version of Android, you'll be able to jump between two apps you have used recently by double tapping the recent apps button, which is located on the bottom right except for Samsung devices. This short cut eliminates the need to navigate back to home screen, making it easier to get stuff done.

More Emoji

Google is delivering 72 more emojis with Nougat, more skin tones, redesigned people's icon, new foods and more. The multi-skin tones are really pointless, I think the original, bright yellow, is a really great neutral color between various skin tones among out society.
