These are the main novelties of Android N

This week Google officially announced a new version of Android, of which it is also possible to download a previous version, which at the moment we can only test on Nexus devices. Android N is the name of this new version, which will change its name to a candy, when it is officially presented in a few weeks and then it will be officially launched on the market.

How could it be otherwise We have tested this Android N to bring you the main news that we will find in this new version Google's operating system. If you want to know what are the main features of this new version of Android, make yourself comfortable that you are going to know them in great detail below.

Multi-window

El multi-window mode It is one of the most interesting features of Android N and is that it will allow us to divide our screen in two, for example to see two applications at the same time. This of course will require a lot of work on the part of the developers and they must allow their application to run without any problem with the multi-window mode activated.

Thanks to this mode not only We can divide the screen in two to work with two applications at the same time, but we can also choose the size that each application occupies on the screen.

In addition, and related to this new Android N mode, we can also make an application in windowed mode to float on our device. This is similar to what happens on YouTube when we minimize the video and search for another.

Notifications have a new design

The Android notification center has practically not changed since Google created it, but with the arrival of Android N it seems that it has finally decided to change it and give it a relative facelift. Its design has been slightly modified and In addition to its new appearance, it allows us to access the device's quick settings more easily.

From now on, every time we display the notification center, a row of icons will be displayed, with five shortcuts, which we can customize to our liking. To access all the icons we just have to continue displaying the notification center.

The best thing about this new Google proposal for the notification center is that enables many developers to integrate rapid response into applications. In not too long time, there may be dozens of applications that allow us to answer quickly and easily through the notification bar without having to open the application.

Battery optimization improves and this time it is real

Marshmllow brought with it many improvements in terms of autonomy and battery life, although it may have fallen far short of what we all expected. With Android N these improvements in autonomy will be a reality and it seems certainly significant.

Improvements will arrive as expected via Pickups, which is that Android function that optimizes the device's battery consumption when it is inactive. Specifically, it reduces the activity of applications open in the background while the user is not using the screen. The problem with this function is that it only works when the device, be it a smartphone or a tablet, is resting on a surface.

With Android N Doze it will start working as long as the screen is off without exceptioneven when the device is in motion. This will make the battery optimization really positive and allow the user to enjoy their mobile device for a longer time.

Now we just need to check that this new Android N function works correctly and especially if the battery saving is significant. We also hope that it works correctly, as Google promises, not only on Nexus devices, but on any that is updated to the new version of Android.

The interface will be customizable

Until now, in the different versions of Android that have been coming to our devices, we could change the size of the font. This allowed us to read the messages a little better. However from now on in Android N we can modify the size of the interface.

This means that through a sliding bar, anyone can increase or decrease the size of the screen. It will undoubtedly be a very interesting option for all users who have vision problems.

Night mode or night mode

Android 6.0 should have incorporated the so-called Night Mode, but Google preferred to postpone its launch, which is now prepared. This mode will allow users to modify the interface colors with a single touch on the screen.

For example, a single touch will help us to look at our mobile device on a dark night without the brightness of the screen or the cold colors of the screen ending up tiring our eyes.

Sinceramente I am not too clear about this new feature that Android N will incorporate, but surely all those who use their smartphone or tablet at night will receive it with great joy.

Although in this list we have only reviewed five of the new features that we can see in Android, there will be many more that users can enjoy when the official launch occurs, for which no date is yet known.

It is also to imagine that, as has happened on many other occasions with the official arrival on the Android market, new features appear on the scene, work or options, but to discover them we will have to wait a few weeks.
