first timing! Android 7.0 Nougat official version to get started experience

Google officially launched the Android 7.0 nougat system today, but only the latest Google Nexus devices can receive this push, that is, Nexus 6, 6P, 5X, Pixel C and Nexus 9 tablet and other devices, other people's mobile phone estimates It will take a while to get OTA updates from vendors. I have been using the beta version of Android 7.0 since March this year, and Google has fixed most bugs.

Android 7.0 is not particularly different from the previous version of System 6.0 Marshmallow. It mainly adds many new user-level features, such as improved multitasking for Android tablets, making it more practical (although Other vendors have already done this.) There are also some deeper improvements that make Android faster, smoother, and more secure. Unless you have a Nexus device on hand, you may have to wait months or even a year to get updates. We are also looking forward to what phones will be able to eat dessert in the next few months.


Multitasking

In Android 7.0 Nougat, Google finally joined Samsung's rotten feature several years ago - split-screen multitasking. Now even Apple iOS has this feature, but late is not good enough, Google in the system This feature is supported on the level. We believe that future apps can better support split-screen multitasking. After all, Samsung's Galaxy mobile phone does not support all of the App split screens, and only some of them have their own or have been specially optimized. Today's mobile screens are so big that support for split screens can make better use of every pixel of the screen.

You just press and hold the “Multitasking” button. At this moment, the app you are using will zoom out to the top or left of the screen. Then you can see that the other part of the screen shows multitasking. You can click on an app to split the screen. Use, or click the Home button to return to the main interface to select other apps. Like Samsung, you can adjust the size of each window, or select other apps to split the screen.

In theory, in a split-screen app, you can drag and drop text or images from one app to another. There are some apps that can do this, and others that don't, but one thing is pretty good. Chrome is now Support for dual screen browsing, you can open two windows in the same screen, which is very practical for many users. There is also a very convenient operation is double-clicking the multi-tasking key will switch to your last used App, like I often switch back and forth between the two App browsing data, this feature can greatly reduce the time I spent switching applications.

Finally, 7.0 Nougat reduced the window shown in the Task Manager and added a "Clear All App" button. Finally, this feature can be used in native Android! Although Google said that there is no need to clean up the App all day, for Virgo, this feature is simply a gospel-like existence.


Notification message

In terms of notification messages, Google has also made a lot of improvements. Now you can finally quickly reply to a message when it is pushed. In the lock screen, when a message is pushed, you can pull down the message card. Content, and then click reply, you can start typing and send, the entire process does not need to open the app.

(Notification center interface)

Now that the notification message under the lock screen shows a larger area, and each notification message is not displayed alone, it is overlapped. There's also a notification message. If there is an app sending you four or five messages, they won't fill your entire lock screen all at once. Instead, they will be lumped together in one and you will click on it before expanding. Several other messages, long press notification messages can show some options of this app, you can choose to mute some annoying notification messages.

(Notification messages will overlap)

At the end of the day, the logic for sliding the clear notification message has been throughout the entire Android system. This is not the case with Apple. iOS sometimes removes the mark and sometimes clicks the “X” button to clear. Android has been ahead of iOS in notification messages. .


Improvements and Disadvantages

Google also made some changes to the notification center. Now you can see the shortcut buttons you frequently use in the drop-down notification center, and you can customize the buttons in the notification center and change their position. Then, in the notification center interface, you can also find an egg, a game similar to Flappy Bird, but only replaced the protagonist with a cat.

In addition, the entire system has many minor changes, such as settings, each setting option can now display more information, such as in the WiFi column, you do not have to click to see you now connected The WiFi name so that you can reduce your click operation. You can now also use Data Saver to limit the network permissions of some apps. Google's own keyboard can change different themes and colors. You can even use a photo as skin. This is a sogou keyboard, and now emoji has a variety of races. The facial expression, after turning on the camera, shake the mobile phone to switch the front and rear camera quickly. These small changes are very obvious for the user's experience!

(Set keyboard theme)

Strangely enough, my biggest complaint was on Google Now, which I thought was the most powerful feature on Android, but now I find that it always provides me with some useless information. The use of Google Now On Tap is also a headache. Originally, it provided me with some relevant information for the screen currently displayed on my screen, but usually there is no relevant information to display or provide some results that are not very useful. .

On Pixel C, when I tap the search button on the keyboard, it pops up with Now On Tap, which means it will retrieve the content on my screen and give me the relevant information. The problem is that the information given is not very Useful, and I just want to search for information on Google, I do not need Now On Tap, more funny is that Google's App does not support split-screen display, and personally think that Google Apps on iOS even more than Andrews On the easy to use!


Invisible improvement

There are some improvements that we can't see. Deeper improvements such as the ART JIT compiler with real-time code profiling and Vulkan API support, the former can improve the performance of the App and the latter can greatly improve the game screen. . Google also provides file-based data encryption technology for Android 7.0, and also provides enterprise users with some new features.

Google launched the Doze sleep mode for the first time in last year's 6.0 cotton candy system, intended to improve endurance levels. When you don't use an app for a long time, the system will put it into "sleep mode". In Android 7.0, as long as you If the mobile phone is in an information screen state, this function will be activated. I believe this should greatly improve the endurance. One of my personal favorite improvements is the seamless upgrade. In the future, Android devices such as Google’s Chromebook and Nexus device will have their system storage space divided into two parts so that Google can quietly move to you. The mobile phone pushes the system to update and installs automatically in the divided space. Because the space is divided, you can still normal the mobile phone. When you next restart the mobile phone, the new version of the system will be waiting for you there, and the old version will be replace. Personally think that this will be a good experience, but if you don't have a Nexus device, you basically don't experience this feature.

In addition to complaints about Google Apps, I am generally satisfied with Android 7.0 Nougat. Although it may be difficult for you to feel that there are many changes at the user level, it is actually at the bottom of the basics. The construction of the project is to prepare for the future renewal. Just like building a house, building a good foundation can build a tall building. The next update should be Daydream, which is Google's upcoming VR platform. This nougat update does not include this part.

Android's updates have always been confusing. Only 15% of mobile phones currently run the 6.0 cotton candy system launched last year. However, in the past few years, Android users have been greatly threatened by mobile phone security issues. Gradually, many users have Do not want to get system updates the first time, but the first time to get security updates to prevent hackers and malicious software attacks. I am very skeptical about the speed of update of vendors. They usually have to go through a long period of time to get OTA updates. Fragmented system updates have always been a challenge for Android. If system updates are not timely, it is not only impossible to use them. New features, which are also likely to be threatened by security issues, appear to be the only way Google can sell a little more Nexus devices.
