Google’s Android 7.0 Nougat – Two Apps Run on Same Screen Simultaneously
Android 7.0 named Nougat has been released by Google and the operating version of the new version enables two apps to run on the same screen simultaneously, making it possible for devices to manage more multifaceted 3D graphics. Presently only the Nexus branded handset and tablets can avail the update. Google has informed that an upcoming phone from LG would be having the pre-installed software though other devices would have to wait for the makers in implementing their own checks before installing the code.
This status quo tends to be a challenge to Google who desires many users as possible to upgrade. As per the figures of the firm, around 15% of Android devices in use had received the earlier version of Android. Rory Cellan-Jones, technology correspondent had asked one of Google’s senior engineers regarding the release.
A different approach had been taken in building and launching Nougat this year and for starters, developers had been invited to check on Android N way back in March so that they could bring their apps to the new platform much earlier. Android Nougat tends to reveal contribution from thousands of fans and developers all across the globe.
