Andriod 8 Oreo

Post by weboweb »

Android Oreo launched yesterday

What new features are coming to Android O?

2x faster to boot up
Minimises background app activity
Autofill remembers app logins
Picture in Picture lets you see two apps at once
Notification dots quickly show you what's new, and can be swiped off screen
Android Instant Apps launch within your browser with no installation
Google Play Protect scans apps to keep your device and data safe
Improved battery life
Redesigned emoji library with more than 60 new emoji

Android O focuses on 'fluid experiences' and vitals, with new features headlining during its first public appearance at Google I/O 2017 including picture in picture (multi-windowing mode), notification dots (long-press an app shortcut to view the notification right there onscreen).

There's also autofill (like in Chrome but now in apps), and Smart Text Selection (automatically recognises names, addresses and phone numbers so you don't have to fiddle around with selection handles; it can also suggest a relevant app).

Android O is much more streamlined than Nougat with various OS optimisations. The bottom line, according to Google, is that devices boot twice as fast and all apps run faster and smoother by default.

On the subject of apps Google is also introducing Play Protect, which installs every app on a per-device basis in order to keep things ultra-secure.

O also adds 'wise limits' to background processes such as location tracking to sensibly keep battery usage at a reasonable level.

There are many more changes coming to the OS, including such things as a redesigned Settings menu and Project Treble - the latter in essence ensuring all users get Android OS updates much faster. (Also see: Android Oreo vs Android Nougat)
