For a few hours I have the opportunity to use the Android N. In that short time I was able to learn many new products introduced in this software and I have to admit, I’m impressed.
easy to install Android N
the first pleasant surprise we brought Android N, was the way in which I could install it. Until now upload test version of the smartphone was a real chore. The necessity of downloading additional software onto your computer, connect the device to a PC, flash – the complexity of this process meant that the new software went on my smartphone after dozens of wasted minutes. Now, enough to go to the appropriate page, sign in to your Google account and choose from a list of device you want to update. After literally second on the device it appeared notification of the availability of the new system. Now, enough to make a few clicks to download and install. Fast, intuitive, simple.
in the same way I can determine the effect of one of the most important features, which appeared in the Android N, which is the ability to run multiple applications on a split screen of the device.
Even though I did not know how to start it, I did it without any problem. Just I started the menu to switch from one application and held one. Then it did the same with the second program and chose what area of the screen is to deal with each of them. It was enough to be able to act on the two programs. Sure, this mode does not work perfectly. For example, the desire to simultaneously launch Twitter and other applications in this mode displays a message saying that the program may not work properly. But in fact possible to use it.
Android N – changes in the Notification Center
changed or center settings and notifications. After the gentle gesture from the top of the screen you can see a few icons located on a thin strip. It was not until the development of stronger it makes it begins to resemble the very center of notifications of previous versions of Android. Now, however, it is fully customizable. Simply select “Edit” to decide which tiles option to be available in the center of settings and where there are to be found. When the option is placed at the top, will be available from the least-developed version of the center settings. Additionally, when you hold your finger on the icon settings (pinion) visible after the development center, the settings will be additional configuration options. These hidden options were already available in the previous version of Android, but less powerful.
We also changed the appearance of the same alerts that are more flat, minimalist, used on them font is smaller, and the individual notifications separates only a thin line. On the notification was a little icon that informs the user of the application comes from data notification. Unfortunately readability affects reducing the size next to it pictures.
Straight From this screen, you can configure settings for notifications from your application.
Very convenient solution is to group notifications that They work differently than before. One program is trying to display on a single tile all of your messages, but a simple gesture, you can expand it so to see several individual notifications on which to perform standard actions. This way you can save space on the screen, while maintaining the convenience of using the usual notifications.
Android N – new setting screen
Definitely also changed the settings screen. You can see that it comes from the screen known from previous versions of Android, however, is on the far more information. Under each category there is information on it. For example, when you set up WiFi connectivity you can be seen, with which joined the network device, as is the case with Bluetooth. Setting the battery shows the battery charge level and estimated time of work, and the application settings, the number of installed programs. A similar note is virtually at every possible option.
In the settings you can see the suggestions or hints of choices from which we should use. I, for example, suggested changing the wallpaper from the default to another, more suited to your preferences.
In the settings appeared a very interesting feature to quickly change the size of all the elements of the interface. Simply select the appropriate place on the slider to quickly adapt the software to the possibility of their own eyes and fingers.
He returned a night mode, which does not offend so much vision at night and also saves energy.
Android also lived to see the tools to better arrange zużywanym data packet. Now you can choose how much data will use a specific program.
Earlier I mentioned also about the hidden options in the system. There are are quite advanced and was among them even calibrator screen where you can select the part of each primary color RGB displayed image.
My opinion about Android N
In short summary is worth mentioning the performance and stability of the test version of Android N Preview. Well, no way to complain about it. Since the installation of the system is not jammed, not suspended, and I feel that even faster than Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Note, however, that it may at any time change. Android N is the end of an early version of the software is not designed for everyday use. By the way, it is possible that, contrary to appearances, he will not wear numerka 7.0. In the settings because you can find information about the numbering, which suggests that Android N will continue to belong to a series 6.X.X.
After a few hours of use Android N I can say that this system is not a revolution. Not turning the aesthetics and operation of mobile devices, as did the Android 5.0 Lollipop. If I had to compare this software to your smartphone, I would consider that this is the Samsung Galaxy S7. In both products, a number of small changes with respect to its predecessor, so that they appear to be much more thoughtful.
It should be remembered that described by us news is just the tip of the iceberg. For obvious reasons, in such a short time I could not get to know all the news contained in this system. Therefore, if we see interesting features, I forgot to mention, let me know in the comments. Remember, too, that the new features will appear in the Android N until its release, and the above mentioned new products may eventually disappear from it. Because too much for them do not get attached. Yet everything can change.
