After the official announcement of Android Nougat and many of its preview versions, there are some information about the final Android Nougat release date! Let’s check!
Android Nougat release date: this month?
2014’s Android Lollipop only came with one preview version only. Meanwhile, there were three preview versions of Android Marshmallow! And now with 2016’s Android Nougat, the fifth and final preview has been released earlier last month! So it looks like Google is really pushing hard on this new Android OS! Typically the final version of this OS will not arrive until October, but with such agressive development schedule, we expect that Android Nougat release date will be a bit earlier this year!
And that’s not only an expectation! According to Evan Blass – a famous phone leaker, Android Nougat release date will be in this month! Moreover, a recent post on Reddit also shares that one Nexus 6P user was unexpectedly pushed to Android 7.0 build NRD90M when he was attempting to ditch the Nougat preview and return to Android Marshmallow! In case you don’t know, R in the code stands for “release”! This is another sign that the new OS will arrive very very soon!
So how about Google Nexus 6P? Traditionally Google releases its new OS along side with a Nexus device! But we all know that Nexus 6P has been released already earlier this year! So either the brand are going to break their own tradition, or another Nexus phone is coming!
Android Nougat release date: What is new in this OS?
Now we find it necessary to have a round-up on the outstanding new features before Android Nougat release date! First, this OS allows users to use two or more apps at the same time by dividing its screen into parts! Moreover, the notification panel is also changed. In this Android OS, notifications from the same app are grouped into one single notification. Users just need to tap the bundled notification to see the detailed messages!
