Test: Android 7.0 Nougat – CHIP

More significant changes will be version 7.1, but we’ll have to wait a few more months. Imagine, in our view, the most important changes, which, despite what is sometimes hidden and scattered throughout the system – do that Android is getting better and better.

multi-style Google

Multitasking is understood as simultaneous work with two applications, it’s actually nothing new. This solution for quite a long time promote their tablets and phones Samsung. This time, however, we are dealing with a systemic solution, which will be independent of the pads that clean the system, is covered by the manufacturer.

the First new feature is switching between the last two running programs by double-clicking on the icons menu of multitasking. If, for example, recently we used Facebook, and now we’re reading the book to take a look at your wall, you just double click. If we want to see two Windows simultaneously, switching to the view mode of the active programs using the drag gesture is placed is selected in the upper window. That’s not all, because both modes can be combined: in the upper part we show, for example, a movie, and double-click to move between the software and the browser. In case your phone maybe we won’t this function use too often, but on a 10-inch tablet like the most. Therefore, you need to mention the defect of this solution: how about in portrait, the user can make decisions on window sizes, the panoramic view of the separation of the hard and 50/50, which is a pity.

Settings

the system settings Menu, at first glance similar to its predecessor. However, when we look at the call of the information there, we will see that it is not only the parameters but also the message about their condition. Under the slogan “Wi-Fi” we will see the name of the network to which we are all connected on the “Sound” information that the ringer volume is 70 percent. When we get to the menu item settings, in a very simple way, we can move in a completely different section or by using the icon “hamburger”, or your finger from the left edge of the screen to the right. Then look at the full food menu.

In “Settings” there is something completely novel: offers. This is a different kind of advice or suggestions. On the one hand this can be a suggestion to change the background image, and on the other-a reminder that we can set biometryczną lock screen. When we get into the setup menu and enabled “do Not disturb” mode or “flight”, it’s more suggestions see the guide. Just expand it to see the option “Disable”.
Two new settings we find also in the settings screen font Size and display Size. Thanks to them, as well as on the computer, we can globally set the size of the displayed text, but the screen resolution. As a result, for example, persons with low vision, one movement of your finger can enlarge icons to an extent that put only three instead of five in a row.

Notifications

changed “Notifications.” Window informing about the events seem even more “flat”, and notifications are grouped. If suddenly we start to receive messages from the Messenger, it’s not they appear as separate boxes, but they Packed in one. Novelty is also the opportunity to respond to an email or message via notifications even without the need of unlocking your phone. Using the “Quick answers” because that’s the name of this function, you can also delete or archive the message.

Doze on the Go and others

There are still changes that are not seen and which affect the comfort of using devices with Android. The first update of the function “Repeat” (Doze), which debuted in the previous version. In Zephyr limited was to disable an active application at the time when the system detects that your phone or tablet from some time remain still. Przekładało for significantly greater battery life. Now the “replay” works also while driving (Doze on the Go): when our equipment mawyłączony screen, Nougat recognizes that it is not used and leaves only the phone module and from time to time sinhroniziruete mail and checks notifications.
edition 7.0 will have a new library that handles the graphics – API Volcano, which is the successor to OpenGL. Due to the fact that new games with more complex graphics will fade. This is confirmed by the first presentation, which took place during E3.
Along with Nougatem introduced automatic updates. Has nothing to approve, nothing to press. The hardware itself downloads the update and at the next restart will enter into life. Here it is, however, a catch: the routine requires a second twin system partition, which after a reboot instantly, without waiting for turns on the phone. This solution only appears at shows recently Pixelach…
also new is a Direct function Boot. Simply put: so far, after resetting our phone was useless, and the data remained encrypted. Only after unlocking was the start all of the services and decrypt resources. Now, unless, of course, is a manufacturer of applications, its limited part runs before odblokujemy device. This means that you don’t miss a thing us a message on Facebook, a valid mail and phone number.

Nougat 7.1

Another version, ie 7.1, when debuted on the new phones from the family of Pixel, of course, will appear on the Google: Pixel C, 5X Nexus and Nexus 6P. Update, in addition to subsequent optimization, fixed bugs and vulnerabilities, as well as the new API allows you to view app round icons, create desktop shortcuts to specific actions in applications and for embedding metadata in pasting. Starting with version 7.1 on-screen keyboard can also send pictures. Management needs to be provided in December.
