Thanks to Google, Android devices will be getting new power upgrades this coming fall.
The great online company has finally revealed that is coming generation would be called Android Nougat.
As we all know, the previous versions were also named after sweet treats: Marshmallow, Lollipop and KitKat.
Initially Google opened suggestions for the name it was previously called Android N, and millions of voters submitted their choices.
There will be new cool features accompanying this coming version. And this brings the question...
When can I get Android Nougat?
Google will now begin rolling out the new software later this year, with the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X smartphones.
Other companies will then start rolling out Android Nougat to users, with the likes of Samsung, HTC and LG set to update users by the end of the year, or early 2017 at the latest.
Android N, or Android 7.0, will bring a number of long-awaited features. Among the new features are better battery life and power performance, thanks to the new Doze feature which is able to put your device into a low-power mode when it detects the phone isn't moving.
Also included in the new release is better support for virtual reality games and apps, linking in to Google's new Daydream VR headset, and a new night mode which will cut down on harmful light when using your phone late at night.
Split screen is here! On Android!
Android phones will now also support split-screen apps, so two apps will now be able to run side by side or one above the other, much like Apple's existing iOS feature.
Split-screen apps are one of many new Android Nougat features
Google has also tweaked how Android devices handle notifications, as the new Direct Reply feature lets users can quickly respond to text messages or update task lists directly within the notification interface.
Notification bundle.
all of your text messages, Facebook prompts, calendar reminders will be lumped together when you drag down the notification shade.
