We are really excited! So would be you to
know that the developer preview of the next version of the Android OS, Android
O is here! Consumers may have to wait for this Android latest update
till later this year. Although Google is not ready to reveal everything on
Android O, few details have been unveiled at its developers conference,
Google I/O.
Let’s take a look at some of the Android O features that are going to get you excited:
Automatic background limits
Google has put a big priority on improving your phone’s battery life with Android O. This OS would automatically limit background app activity and help you save power.
Notification channels introduced
New app-defined categories for notification content called notification channels as been introduced. These channels would offer more control to users over various kinds of notifications. They would be able to manage each channel individually, for instance, they would be able to block or change the behaviour of a channel they find annoying instead of doing it for the whole app’s notification altogether.
Picture-in-Picture display
What happens when you get a message while watching a video? You have to stop the video abruptly to answer that chat, right! Not any more as Android O supports picture-in-picture display. So with Android O you can watch a video while playing another app or answering a chat. Moreover, you would have a new app overlay window instead of system alert window as well as a multi-display support to enable you to launch an activity on a remote display.
Wide-Spectrum of Colour Support
Your phone powered by Android O would be capable of wide-gamut colour display. The apps will be able to display more colours and the design would be more expressive and impressive. So, get ready to outsource Android app development with your novel app ideas for Android O.
Adaptive icons
Now your app icons would be able to adapt and change shapes depending on the theme used. Besides, the OS would be able to animate icons when they are touched.
High-Quality Wireless Audio
Google has introduced higher performance codecs like Sony’s LDAC, which would boost wireless sound by allowing cleaner sound with less latency. Now you would be able to enjoy listening to music and watching videos with your wireless headphones on.
Keyboard Navigation
You can also expect a better keyboard support for enhanced app navigation. The company has focused into creating a more predictable as well as reliable model for ‘tab’ and ‘arrow’ navigation for devices like Chromebooks and others with larger form factors.
