As opposed to the rumours by EVleaks, the Android Nougat will be releasing for the Huawei Nexus 6P and LG Nexus 5X on Monday, August 22. LG, on the other hand, confirmed that Android 7.0 Nougat would be made available to Korean G5 units from Monday. It is expected that the Android 7.0 Nougat will be available for the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Pixel C devices, as well as General Mobile 4G Android One devices. The final Android Nougat public release will have improvements like multi-window support, enhanced notifications, revamped dose, number blocking etc. One of latest features that the new update may carry is the return of the much talked about “Android camera”. According to rumours, the exposure control would be visible on tapping the screen to focus. This feature was not available in the last few previews of Android Nougat will be coming back. Among other features, there is supposed to be a direct reply feature allowing the user to respond quickly to texts and update task lists within notification interface. A “Bundled Notifications” feature might also be included that allows the user to group notifications in the same app together. Group notifications can later be expanded into notifications by a two finger gesture. “Project Svelte” will also be included in the new Android Nougat, which will optimise the way apps run in the background and reduce RAM usage.

Though the update comes with a few new features, the split-screen multi-tasking will definitely take the cherry. This means that the device would be able to open two apps simultaneously. Though this feature has been seen in many custom skinned phones, Nougat will let the user adjust the size of the split screens. Nougat will also have the added ability of recording and playback from Android tv services. Profile users can now specify a separate a security challenge for apps running in the work profile. They can customise their password settings in accordance with their requirements, like how long the PIN needs to be, fingerprint settings and likewise.

But the early August release doesn’t imply that the device users can use the update right away. Generally, after Google launches a new version, phone makers and wireless carriers have to test it across all devices before it is made available in the market. Thus, the users might have to wait for months in line before they can use the new update.
