Android 7.0 Nougat erschienen, Nexus-Geräte werden ab heute aktualisiert

Raus aus der Beta, rein in die Finalversion. Android 7.0 Nougat ist heute offiziell von Google freigegeben worden. Über diverse Neuerungen haben wir ja bereits in der Vergangenheit ausführlich berichtet, alternativ gibt die Homepage von Android 7.0 Nougat einen guten Einblick auf die Veränderungen, die zwar nicht revolutionär sind, aber das Android-System zweifelsohne auf ein höheres Level hieven. Hier werfe ich beispielsweise den Split Screen-Modus, das schnelle Antworten auf eingehende Nachrichten und die zusammengefassten Benachrichtigungen oder die verbesserte Multitasking-Übersicht ein.

Wohl dem, der ein Nexus hat, denn dann muss man nicht bis zum Sankt-Nimmerleins-Tag auf ein Update warten. Heute beginnend werden die Nexus-Geräte mit Android 7.0 Nougat ausgestattet (Nexus 6P, 5X, 6, 9, Pixel und Nexus Player). Das Update kommt in Etappen, wer also nicht per Sideload flashen möchte, der kann vielleicht Wartezeit einplanen. Nutzer der Betaversion werden auf die finale Version von Android 7.0 Nougat aktualisiert.

Changelog laut AP

• Expanded emoji: There are now over 1,500 different emoji built into Android, including 72 new ones, so go ahead: express yourself.
• Quick Settings controls: Quick Settings gives you easy access to things like bluetooth, WiFi and the all-important flashlight. With Android Nougat, you can actually control what tiles go where, and move ‘em around to fit your needs.
• Multi-locale support: Apps can tailor their content based on your locale settings. So if you speak multiple languages, for instance, then search engines can show results in each of those languages.
• Multi-window: Run two apps side-by-side. The windows are resizable, too, by simply dragging the divider.
• Direct Reply: Reply directly to notifications without having to open any app.
• Bundled notifications: See what’s new at a glance with bundled notifications from individual apps. Simply tap to view each alert.
• Notification controls: When a notification pops up, just press and hold to toggle the settings. For instance, you can silence future alerts from an app in the notification itself.
• Lockscreen wallpaper: You can now have different wallpapers on your device’s homescreen and lockscreen.
• Improved Settings navigation: Find the right setting faster with an updated navigation menu in Settings.
• Quick Switch: Switch between your two most recently used apps by simply double tapping the Overview button.
• Vulkan: Games will now leap to life thanks to high-speed, next-generation graphics — all powered by your device’s multi-core processor.
• Daydream: Android Nougat is ready to transport you to virtual worlds with Daydream-ready phones, headsets and controllers — all coming later this year.
• Seamless updates: New Android devices with Nougat can install software updates in the background which means you won’t have to wait while your device installs the update and optimizes all your apps for the new version. And for current Nexus users, software updates now install much faster, so you won’t have to wait for minutes while your device reboots.
• File-based encryption: Android Nougat can better isolate and protect files for individual users on your device.
• Direct Boot: Direct Boot helps your device startup faster, and apps run securely even before you unlock your device when your device reboots.
• Improved system backup coverage: More device settings are covered by Android Backup, including accessibility settings, run-time permissions for apps, Wi-Fi hotspot settings and Wi-Fi network restrictions.
• Work mode: Work mode allows you to turn on and off your device’s work apps and notifications for a better work, life balance.
• Display size: Not only can you change the size of the text on your device, but the size of all the display elements like icons and images.
