Android 7.0 (Nougat)
Review of the mobile operating system Android 7.0.
Codename: Nougat.
API level/NDK release: 24.
Google seems 100% confident in my own abilities, as is to be expected instead of transition OS versions 6.1 or 6.2 parents of "green robot" introduced from Android 7.0. Let's see, What innovations developers ugotovili us and whether they have practical prok.
Quick preferences and Push notifications
The most notable change in the "viscous" Nougat – in this version when svajpe on the top of the screen fast settings available in tape format with icons, without any unnecessary labels. This is the right decision, for "bed sheet" on full display does not have "comme il faut".
To top it all off now by clicking on the corresponding icon appears a list of the functions, that is, the climb in settings from now on do not necessarily. And still, This release introduces the ability to, anything to change the location of the icons in blind, for many users this is not enough.
Benefits of notifications now became much higher – present the key, at the same time, all messages sent from split applications, and this is a great replacement of regular pop-up counters. Now even in chat rooms you can correspond directly from notification strings.
Lift ban annoying notices in Android and before it was all full decoration, and now it is implemented and it is wonderful – notification function is present in "quiet" mode, that is,, only text information, without suddenly frightening sound alerts and loud vibration. Sympathetic developers have come and to the choice of the priority importance of user notifications – messages from some utilities you can completely prohibit, and from the other to take always with maximum volume ringtone.
Scale text and UI elements
The Android platform have long learned to interact with font size, and many people, for example, the visually impaired, actively used this function. The trouble is that, that's something the font became more, and all the other elements of its original size — maintained their sight sometimes turned out inconspicuous and awkward. You can fine-tune the Nougat into separate text and scale labels – orderly and perfect visual representation in all its glory.
Multitasking
Using this feature followed by Samsung in their devices, softernogo giant developers too have integrated this functionality in Android OS. When duty and hold this button for a list of objectives, screen in mobile handsets as would be divided into two parts, that allows synchronous work two running in this mode, applications.
In Android 7.0 Finally a private cleanup tasks button, What first used third-party software, It looks like, the guys from Google just got tired of annoying questions from users such as where the application close button disappeared.
Usability tweaks
System Preferences work became more than ever a pleasure, Although before crashing into their special logic was not. So, Wi-Fi access point which reports now uses, "data transmission" means "eaten" traffic, and the screen informs you about the current level of illumination. It all looks nice and animated.
Lean attitude to Internet traffic
With the disappearance of the unlimited Internet, This question stands as ever and topically – selectively block access to network applications, running in the background and consuming a certain amount of traffic in the first versions of Android are not allowed. In Android 7.0 It's, Fortunately, implemented in full using Doze! And in roaming is simply a recovery from unexpected expenses!
"Metamorphosis under the hood»
Changes in Android 7.0 touched not only small moments, but most Holy – the system itself. From now on gaming products will work in tandem with iron-dense "», in other words, work with video accelerator not using OpenGL drivers, but after Vulkan API. That is,, from now on, no intermediaries, the conversation is only directly!
The guys from Google promised up to 20% more offline work Android devices, now the device with the help of modern technology alone will determine, It requires maximum performance, and when it is better to go in "deep sleep", bringing activity applications to minimum values.
To its credit, Google it, After all, resulted in some order of VR, apparently realizing, that this future technology. Although the revolution in this field so far, but not for nothing is considered, that "journey".
Package «empty» jewelry
No functions, which do not bear any meaning, in the new OS versions in the same way there, Although, in principle,, they do not interfere with. We are talking about the so-called jemodzi (variety of emoticons), which has now become much more, with, There are faces of different races, tolerance in all its glory.
