Google without notice released a preliminary version of the mobile operating system, code-named Android N.
The main innovation of the preliminary version, of course, are the split-screen mode, improved energy-saving system and a new system notifications interface.
Let's start from the beginning. split screen feature (split-screen) is known for iOS users, but on Android it is not enough. But with the release of Android N it will be able to display two applications at the same time.
The ability to display two applications enable much easier to copy the text, links, and so on, if the screen is displayed, for example, the browser and instant messenger.
The new notification interface now allows to display more data, as well as respond to messages directly from there without having to open the app every time. Such a possibility has long been in Hangouts, but will now be available in all the messengers. In addition, the mode is added so called "notifications related" by which notifications from multiple applications may be combined into a single window.
There have been also reduced the size of icons of wireless network interfaces Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. They are now located at the top of the screen.
Third, but not least important function of the new version - Doze. This function ensures energy savings. During the long period of inactivity (for example, at night), this feature will limit the networking capabilities of the device and reduce the load on the processor.
From minor updates worth noting the possibility of data compression for transmission, that will save your mobile traffic and Project Svelte - an opportunity that should solve the main problem of Android. Of course, this possibility exists since the days of Android 4.4, but judging by the number of programmatic optimizers, the quality of its work leaves much to be desired.
Finally, in Java 8 (on the base of an open OpenJDK 8) will support the operating system, the ability to filter incoming calls based on the "black lists" and the ability to scale desktop.
"Night" mode supports both a simple reduction in brightness of the screen, and the inclusion of a red filter, making the picture more gentle, reducing the level of the blue part in the spectrum. Related Products :
