The first minutes after the upgrade, and boot the system to Android 7.0 Nougat review it seems that nothing has changed. All the same interface design, the same icons, and even built-in application system remain the same. But the first impression is often deceptive. Let’s see if it will have to improve their Google mobile operating system.
NOTIFICATIONS PANEL
One of the main changes to the interface of Android 7.0 Nougat review became the notification bar, which now occupies much less space on the screen.
themselves in the mass notification now also appear smaller, but contain more useful information. Be sure to indicate on the application of the notification, as well as text messages or emails.
Respond to an incoming SMS message or the messenger is now possible directly from the notification bar blind, if the developer has provided an appropriate opportunity.
In addition, alerts can now be quickly customized for each application, making their soundless or completely disabling.
If you pull the curtain on the notification bar, it displays more rapid setting and adjust the brightness. As in many third-party firmware, quick settings can now be edited. In this third-party developers can add them as their application options.
Another interesting feature is the quick settings, if you click on some of them, you can see more information without having to leave the curtain notifications. This works, for example, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, you can view available networks and devices.
If you click on the icon in the operator’s network, you will see information about the number of downloaded data.
Similarly, the battery icon indicates the remaining battery charge and discharge.
Here you can enable power-saving mode.
SETTINGS
Settings in Android 7.0 Nougat review were also recycled. As before, they are grouped by section, but now every item except the name also shows additional information. Thus, even without going to the individual setting items are available, such as a Wi-Fi-network connected smartphone or how much memory is used.
Another important change in Android 7.0 Nougat review settings for the owners with a large-screen smartphones, as well as for people with poor eyesight, was the native interface scaling support. On the user can choose from as many as five display options, from small to huge.
MULTITASKING
In Android 7.0 Nougat review little finished multitasking mode. Finally, there was a button that allows you to close all open applications. For a long time it has been available in the Android firmware from third-party developers.
In addition, there was also a regime that allows you to place a single window two applications side by side.
This mode can be useful on tablets and smartphones with big diagonal display. The users of flagship smartphones and tablets Samsung and it does seem familiar, as the company realized the opportunity a couple of years ago.
But what is really new in Android 7.0 Nougat review multitasking is the ability to switch between the last two applications, double-clicking the multitasking key.
POWER SAVING MODE DOSE
Doze mode first introduced in Android 6.0 and stop background tasks assumed that if the device had a certain time with the screen and is not used. Request for application in this mode delayed and collected in bags that were treated with a certain periodicity. The longer the device is not used, the longer it became the periods when the system is allowed to operate the background tasks. But, as shown, for smart phones, which are used from morning to night, it does not give a great save battery power. So Android 7.0 Nougat review appeared light version Doze. With it, even on the go, if the smartphone is not being used and the screen is off, the synchronization of applications and requests to the network are collected and processed packets. However, the background tasks for programs, job search GPS and Wi-Fi networks remain active.
Based on a few days of using the Nexus 6P with Android 7.0 Nougat review, the efficiency of the hybrid mode Doze is hardly high. It seems that with all the messages in instant messengers and letters in the mail from your smartphone just does not work in this Doze go.
SUPPORT API VULKAN
Another innovation “under the hood” Android has become the new Vulcan support. The API for graphics was designed by Khronos Group, which was previously created by other popular API OpenGL. Thus, Vulkan in Android 7.0 Nougat review is a response to DirectX 12 in Windows 10 and Metal in iOS. It allows developers to squeeze more performance out of the graphics chip, improving the graphics in games. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to feel the benefits of the new the API, as its support must be in the GPU, although it is technically supported by all chips with OpenGL ES 3.1.
EMOJI
Android 7.0 Nougat review received 9 Unicode support, and with it 72 new Emoji. For the first time on the Android katabatic the opportunity to choose the color of smiles, showing that they belong to different races.
In addition, own emoji in Android 7.0 is also updated. Immediately it should say that the strange-looking smiles have not diminished.
UPDATES AND ANDROID RUNTIME AS A HYBRID COMPILER JIT / AOT
Anyone familiar with the situation with a smartphone on Android, when it begins to be updated, they can not be used. At this time, you can easily miss an important call or message. In Android 7.0 Nougat review is a problem solved Broken internal storage into two sections with two system images. The update will be downloaded and installed in one way, while the second will be used in the normal mode. Thus, the user will not see the flashing screen and be able to use the device until the moment when it has to reboot and it will switch to the partition with the new OS version. Given that another way the system will occupy a lot of space in the memory, this feature is only appear on new devices, which will already come with Android 7.0 Nougat review. Apparently, there are manufacturers provides additional memory for the second section of the system.
Updating your smartphone on Android, you will likely notice that he spends some time at the application optimization. When Google launched Android 5.0 and 6.0 – it was not a big problem since the update could come out every six months or once a year. But now, when security patches are located almost a couple of times a month, the screen, which tells about the optimization program can annoy users. Why is this happening and how does Google have solved this problem in Android 7.0? Virtual Machine Android RunTime or ART – this basic medium run applications in Android, is it basically is what differs from the usual Linux system. In previous versions of Android ART I worked as an AOT (Ahead Of Time) compiler. All applications that are installed on devices with Android, compiled one time during the installation, using the current system configuration. After the operating system upgrade each program had to go through optimization to match the changes in the system and a new API. To solve this problem in Android 7.0 ART works as a hybrid AOT / JIT compiler. JIT (Just-in-time) provides for the compilation of the program each time it is run. This speeds up both the installation and operation of the system, which do not need to spend resources on compilation. But JIT increases the load on the processor and memory, consuming battery power more. Therefore, Android 7.0, after you install (or OS update) application runs through JIT compilation, but when the device is on and charging is not used, AOT compiler starts and completes the installation.
EVENTUALLY
If Android 6.0 Marshmallow was a kind of work on the bugs, which the company did not have time to eliminate the release of version 5.1, the Android 7.0 Nougat review is just the next step to build functionality. Interface changes here can not be called great, they’re just trying to catch up with what has been proposed by the Parties shell, while doing “naked” Android is more convenient. Internal changes in the new OS this time the developers were in high priority. Also mentioned in this article, the main innovations are designed for virtual reality platform Daydream, that Google is preparing to launch this fall. They include the graphics acceleration, and the reduction rate of the display update and improvement of sensors. But to assess their capabilities yet.
