Android 7.1.2 Nougat Has Hit Some Of The Pixel C And Nexus Users

Currently, in UK, seven out of ten people own a smartphone. Whether it’s about connecting with your near and dear ones or search information, gather news and even navigate from one site to another, people love spending time with such technology that could make life a bit easier. Android 7.0 was released last year named “Nougat”. Ever since the release of the new, candy-themed version of Android, we have been witnessing a continuous roll out in Pixel and nexus devices.

An unbiased review on Android 7.0 Nougat

In case, if you have already seen Android N developer previews will find a lot of things familiar in Nougat 7.0 as well as in the latest version of Android Nougat 7.1.2 beta. While for someone who has never seen this before, I would like to not only offer a simple preview but even draw a comparison to Marshmallow. Further speaking about the version, android has started putting its roots down. The mobile apps are becoming more stable with a greater focus on polish. Nougat can be simply defined as extending functionality, improving pre-existing features and expanding what’s already there in stock. 

 

Marshmallow features Doze mode, the fingerprint API, and granular permissions, Nougat follows the same but with some deeper groundwork. Besides, one may observe certain new features with a redesigned settings menu and notifications area. Unlike other versions, Nougat delivers split-screen mode; portrait and landscape which can be simply activated by long pressing an app preview card. As a result, the first app will appear in the top window or on the left if you are in landscape mode.

Apart from split-screen, several mobile application development companies in UK are impressed with the quick switching feature. As the name suggests itself, the feature allows you to shuffle between two most recently used apps. This also means that you can triple the task even when you are working in multi-window mode.

Well, not everything in Nougat is so convoluted, though. I mean you will come across numerous beta irritation and updates and therefore, the latest version of Android Nougat 7.1.2 beta has been introduced for Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel C, Nexus 6P, Nexus player devices and so more. Older devices like Nexus 5 or 6 are not included so android 7.1.1 may be the end line for those.

Apart from that, the version focuses more on refinements, as the previous version needed more of bug fixes and refinements along with a small number of enhancements for mobile apps and users. The reported device will also feature similar buttons for navigation with circular app icons. Of the new additions, messages can now be answered from the notification bar itself. So that the user will not need to leave an app to answer a message or even unlock their phone.
