Google has just released its next dessert: Android O is currently available as a preview version for developers and beyond.
We do not know much about his new version Android, as growth is still at a very early stage, but we seem to see several parameterization changes. Some of these are worth mentioning:
- Picture-in-picture mode, allowing you to watch videos while using other applications.
- Too many color options for developers to get the most out of their appearance mobile. Color options include AdobeRGB, Pro Photo RGB, DCI-P3, and more.
- Postpone notifications so they can reappear at a later time.
- Adaptive icons that can change shape depending on the device (circle and square, for example).
- Support for visual effects for Android animations.
- Apps will be able to pin shortcuts for specific actions. E.g. an icon that directly links to a specific task of yours will be able to be pinned to your home screen.
A full list of changes is available here.
Unlike last year, when Google launched the Android Beta program, the company it won't release Android O to the general public initially (the public beta will be released in May or June).
