Android Nougat release date: when you’ll get it and why you’ll want it


Android Nougat: release date, news and rumors

Update: The Android Nougat update has been renamed from Android N and, with just weeks until the release date, we got official word from Google that it’ll indeed be the Android 7. This is not an iterative version number update. Here’s everything we know today, as of Developer Preview 4.

Android Nougat is Google’s next phone and tablet operating system update that’s been so thoroughly refined that the company is officially more than halfway through the English alphabet, letter 14 of 26.

You can now download Android Nougat Developer Preview and test its new features that didn’t make the cut in last November’s Android 6.0 Marshmallow launch alongside the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X.

    For some this update will provide some nice features. Personally I have the LG G4 which already does pretty much everything shown in the video.
    I am surprised that this merits a full version upgrade considering how little is changing.

    The Android Nougat will be come out soon in July or Augest, by now the Android 6.0 OS is the latest one. I need to buy a budget phone for myself and find that Bluboo Maya with Android 6.0 OS is good, it only needs $69.99. What do you think?

    Firefox,Chrome or just about anything on a PC beats a fruit phone ….my 4 Core Snapdragon CPU phat screen ZTE Anrdoid phone works fine with Chrome so do some Samsung's I've used and FWIW Samsung was or still is a big friut phone component supplier and used to make all their CPU's .

    OTOH I never seen anything Safari or iTunes that wasn't totally s**tty !

    You can get a (admitedly crappy) battery percentage in marshmallow by accessing the system UI tuner

    Yea a $600.00 – $800.00 fruity smartphone that can't do much of anything a $150.00 -$200.00 ZTE or similar Chinese Android smart phone with a 4 core Snapdragon CPU, Android Gorilla Glass, phat QHD screen ,Dolby Sound can do is real f**ing smart isn't it they are made about the same way and both are Chinese products and may share similar suppy chains ? ☻☻

    Chinese are going to decimate the high dollar fruit phone market with just as capable and well designed phones for a fraction of the cost of a friut phone I already have a new one and it runs fine on Android and has a phat QHD screen ,Dolby sound and 4 core Snapdragon CPU !

    "NFC was useless until Apple Pay."

    WTF U think Apple pay is other than a fruity NFC Pay …the underlying technical ISO/IEC protocols & communication standards are the same thing just like OS X is nix based

    ^^^That's why Apple Pay works at NFC terminals that service friuty pay to begin with they didn't invent the NFC wheel here i.e,

    I guess if you live in your car ,somebody's basement or a third world s* hole a smartphone /fruity phone
    is a big deal TBH they ain't worth talking about much in my world as long as they do what I ask of them when I pull them outta pocket or pick them up and usually all that outside of a simple phone call is much better on my desktop PC ,my HP Elite book or smart TV away .

    I can even do voice search ,Bluetooth or plug in a mouse and keyboard to my 4K Sony Android smart TV along with web browsing and doing a zillion other Android things including controlling home security ,climate and Home automation with the Sony Android TV !

    This is a preview for Android 7, if you have no interest in the platform than don't post here, it's simply trolling if you do. These types of comments have absolutely zero benefits to the conversation. There are plenty of iOS centric articles, there is no need to come here as well.

    I never had any problems on Android Smartphones like what U are saying or my Android Sony 4K HDR TV either but U keep wasting your money on friuty phones and see how well your retirement works out like that and then get back to us !

    FWIW I'm retired and can afford any phone ,PC or TV
    I want and pay cash them & a new vehicle every 3-4 yrs but I never wasted my money on fruit phones ….
    I invested it instead and used company provided Blackberries and sometimes less expensive personal smartphones and spent my out of pocket $$ on some things more fun like travel ,phat rides ,my cribs or some fun bimbos on weekend get ways now and then .

    No way I'm going to waste 6 or 8 bills on a friut phone,and if I did I would get a Samsung ,Nokia or anything and not something from the GD fruit company anyway….. it's just a GD smart phone and if it ain't you need a life and maybe a phat 4K HDR TV anyway ☻

    You're right. He must be new to this. I keep my BlackBerry Priv pretty empty, but the fact I CAN is what's important, you know?

    I think I like the multitasking feature the most.The ability to open two apps simultaneously is really pushing smart phones into true PCs

    If only they could try to settle properly the huge issue there is concerning fragmentation, which is gonna get uglier over the next few years (if not properly addressed by Google soon enough)…

    yea they got Samsung Pay & Android NFC pay now too !

    ………….So who GAS about fruity pay ?

    NFC been around over 10 yrs and so have smart phones and PC's and mp3 players before Apple ever made them what was the last thing Apple invented …oh s**t ….they haven't invented anything have they ?

    i.e, Steve Jobs ……..Just as big of an idea thief as Thomas Edison ☻☻

    NFC,
    2002 Sony and Philips agreed to establish a technology specification and created a technical outline on March 25, 2002.
    2003 NFC was approved as an ISO/IEC standard on December 8, and later as an ECMA standard.
    2004 Nokia, Philips and Sony established the NFC handset Forum
    2007 Innovision’s NFC tags used in the first consumer trial in the UK, in the Nokia 6131

    WTF was Apple during all this ?

    iOS for you may be useless butf for most people it just works (mostly), look I like both Android and iOS but mostly prefer iOS by a hair because I like the speed and fluidity of iOS as well. I like Android for its extra functionality and the ability to do virtually anything you want with your phone, but I like Stock Android best as there's no bloat, and because of this stock Android is best in performance. Both are not perfect, not even iOS with the well documented issues with iOS 9. I agree with you that iOS is holding back the iPad Pro.

    I kinda hope they improve adopted storage before N goes gold. Those pesky OBBs are the reason I tried mixed mode. Instead my internal memory filled up throwing storage notifications and there was a near-empty secure SD partition. Moving apps over didn't shift those pesky OBBs.

    Otherwise I think Android is relatively polished. I would like to see GApps use less resources and I guess there's some nice features from aftermarket ROMs that would be nice to see in AOSP. Like themes.

    When will the Android N be released? I found a guy who make a comparison video on Android N, Android 6.0 and Android 5.1, it is interesting and worth watching.
