Google Android 7.0 Nougat
With the introduction of material design in Android 5.0 two years ago, Google's powerful and popular mobile operating system seemed to finally understand what it was and where it was going. With Nougat, version 7.0 of the OS, the Android experience has been further refined with smart and subtle tweaks that make your device even more useful. A new split-screen view cements its ascendency in the world of personal technology, and forthcoming virtual reality support means that the future of Android is a bright one. It's not out on all the best Android phones yet, but it's a strong argument for anyone buying their first device or looking to make the switch from Apple or Windows Phone.
Nougat launched in late August 2016, and is currently available for the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and Pixel C devices. The first phone to ship with Nougat installed will be the LG V20, which comes out in September. Other Android devices, such as Samsung's Galaxy line, will likely receive the update later. And many handsets won't receive it at all. That's fragmentation for you.
I've had a device enrolled in the Android developer beta version of Nougat since the program was announced. For this review, I installed the new operating system via an over-the-air update on a Nexus 6P$499.00 at Google Store, one of the best Android phones on the market today.
The Brilliance of AndroidVisually, Nougat is a subtle update. But let me just put the most important news here at the very top and say that Google has
