Google's new mobile software Android O has been designed to improve battery life and multiple tasking for the users. The Internet giant revealed that it is putting a big priority on improving a user's battery life and the device-interactive performance with Android O. The users and developers are expecting to name the updated version as Android Oreo.
Google wants to introduce new limits that prevent apps running in the background from sucking all the charge out of a device's battery. It has also created new multitasking features and great controls for notifications. Android O video apps will be able to put themselves into a Picture in Picture mode so that video will still play after you switch to a different app.
Although Android O is offering better features than Android N, it has several limitations. For Android N, Google has made it available for all the developers. Anyone can easily download the developer's preview version of Android N.
Google has adopted a rigid marketing strategy for Android O. Only developers with Google devices will be able to download the developer's preview version. So, if you are thinking to download Google's latest developer version of Android O, then you must need Google devices like Google Nexus 5, Nexus 6P, Pixel, Pixel XL and other flagships.
Furthermore, it is not clear when Android O will become available to the wider public, but Google will historically release more details at its annual developer's conference in May. In the early days of Android O, there are more features coming and there is still plenty of stabilization and performance work ahead.
Google's Vice President of Engineering for Android, Dave Burke stated that "over the course of the next several months, we'll be released updated developer previews, and we'll be doing a deep dive on all things Android at Google I/O in May." It seems the upcoming operating system will be more interesting than ever.
