Almost every year that passes, Google announces the latest updates to the Android operating system. This year, Google offers a completely new and feature-rich version of Android, i.e. Android O or Android 8.0. The beta version of this platform is already on the market and it looks like most of the features will take this Android O to a whole new level. Are you wondering about the impending features? Read the article for a concise synopsis of the lucrative facets of this platform.
A quick look at upcoming features
Google has confirmed that Android O will provide users with top-notch ‘Smooth Experiences’ along with ‘Vitals’ support. With this updated version, things would look better and more impressive on Android screens and compared to the latest Nougat version released, it would be more proficient.
Priority Notification #1
Managing your smartphone notifications and alerts would be much easier if you use Android O. I would categorize the alerts; put those notifications on the lowest priority that don’t need your immediate attention. It sure would allow users to focus on essential tasks without being interrupted with excessive unnecessary notifications.
#2 Smarter connectivity
With the help of the lucrative ‘Wi-Fi Aware’ feature of Android O, devices can now communicate with the Wi-Fi network without any particular Internet access point. This function not only supports Bluetooth audio codecs, but also supports the LDAC codec. This latest version of Android is going to introduce another feature of turning on Wi-Fi automatically for smarter connectivity.
#3 Personalized navigation
This enhanced feature is extremely beneficial for people who have large smartphone screens. Most of the time, navigating the various icons on the screen becomes exhausting. To provide a better solution to this problem, the upcoming Android version brings the System UI Turner feature which would be remarkably beneficial for adjusting the navigation buttons. You can place the buttons on the sides or place them compactly in the center.
#4 PIP (Picture in Picture)
PIP, a vital part of Android Tv, will now become a crucial part of smartphones and Android O is making it possible. With this latest feature, multitasking will reach a whole new level. For example, while you are enjoying a video on your phone, you can continue chatting using another app at the same time. More interesting still, you can adjust the video screen as per your wish so that it doesn’t shield your chat screen.
#5 Advanced Protection
This Android 8.0 would make your smartphone discoverable and more secure. While using any game or application, a small card would appear on the phone screen indicating that the application scanning process is ongoing for malware and viruses.
#6 Easy sound selection
Initially, when setting any ringtone from the files, it was necessary to copy the file to the phone’s storage system. Also, finding the MP3 using the file manager and setting it from the system sound settings was a bit of a complex process. Now Android O gives you a direct option to select the sound of your choice.
If you want to experience this latest version of Android O, the public beta version is now available on the market. If the device you use supports it, just install it on your device; enroll the device for the public beta program and wait until the OTA update comes out.
