Hi Everyone, Aaron here from ZolloTech and android nougat 7.0
has been out for a couple of days now
I've been running it on my nexus 6P I
really liked this device and I've actually been running the
beta version of android nougat for a few months now since they
originally announced that it would be available
and it's pretty solid the first version was a little bit unstable
as to be expected but after that it's been really
really stable and this one has been great
battery is fantastic.
but let's talk about the changes now
the first thing that they've change is they've actually added
72 new emoji. So right now there is over 1500 different emoji's that you can pick from
So if I go into here you will see all the different categories
and i can just keep scrolling and scrolling and scrolling
and there is just quite a few
So that's one thing they've added.
they've also added multi-locale language settings
so if we go into the settings,
we'll go into , scroll down here and we go into
languages, and languages and you'll see they've got
a ton of different languages here
also to pick from.
and you basically should be able to find your language
somewhere in here
so that's really nice, also.
one of my favourite features with this device or with nougat rather is the
ability to do multiple windows at once
So if i open pocket casts for example, this is a podcasting app
for those that aren't familiar
and if i tap and hold the app switcher button here
i can go back to settings and run both at once
i can slide this little slider, resize
it, everything resizes nicely. it's really really great
and the nice thing is if I hit it again we can just pick
something else if we want
Hit is again, and it goes back
if I want to get rid of that i can just bring it back to full screen if i want
to go back to the other app I just double tap this button it goes right
back and i thought i wouldn't use that but I use that an awful lot and I really
really like that feature really simple double tap and go back use it all the
time instead of the back button through the app itself now you've kind of got a
back button for your application so it's really nice and definitely something
that's a nice addition that they sort of took from
samsung but incorporated and it works a lot more easily and quickly. Now
internally they've changed some things they basically made the Vulcan API
available and what that is it's a high-performance 3d graphics back-end
that allows it to run basically 3d games a lot more smoothly and should be a lot
better now I haven't really played a whole lot of games on here but those
that have said that they see some improvements you'll see that more with
virtual reality and those sort of things which is actually now built in so that's
something that's also new as well and project daydream from google should be
fairly soon here at least we think based on rumors and that's their own VR
headset will incorporate basically a similar thing to the galaxy VR where
this will slot in and you'll be able to use that as i mentioned before battery
life has been great and they actually call it doze in android nougat so let's
go back into the settings and that kind of gone to it from the other place here
actually normally do go through the top notifications but right here you'll see
here's the battery as i have approximately 12 hours left now what
I've found is now that we've got doze and doze on the go it basically helps
you save battery power when you're on the move so it puts things into a
low-power mode meaning other apps into a low-power mode when you're carrying it and
knows when you're carrying it it really does a good job but actually in standby
can last days i'll actually put it away say on a friday at least through the
bed anyway put it away on the Friday and three days later it still has plenty
of charge at least fifty percent if not eighty percent or more now in the
battery you can see everything that's using the applications it's just a
really good i don't have to manage any of these and I don't have to close apps
and its really good on battery one of the great things about android nougat is
the notifications and the tweaks they've made to that I've been missing it while
testing out the galaxy note 7 so if i pull this down here the app drawer
you'll see i have two notifications 1 for weather one for YouTube if i tap and
hold on this I can make some changes i can show notifications silently block
all notifications or don't silence
and block them i can have more settings and in more settings you'll see that i
have a few more options for the lock screen or override do not disturb things
like that
there's also bundled notifications in direct reply I don't have any of those
in here but if i get multiple notifications to my gmail account or
different email accounts it will actually put them all in one bundle
let's go back here we'll put them all in one bundle in this one small area and
then I can kind of drill down by pulling down and reply directly there
I've also got quick reply on the top so we've got all these different things my
Wi-Fi cellular battery etc if I pull down you've got all of these different
things that i'm using for notification soon enough i hit edit i can change
these and move them around so if i want to drag these up here switch to night
mode for example put it up here I can do that
go back and now it's in here as well so now I've got night mode so it's really
nice really simple and we've got those custom settings that make it just more
convenient to use overall now we also have data saver so if i go into
settings here and go to data usage you see I haven't used much i'm on Wi-Fi
most of the time thanks to project Fi it actually works really well that way and
you'll see i can limit things so i can turn on data saver
there we go flip this on here and what we can do is restrict applications from
using data so we'll go in here and you can see unrestricted data access so i
can turn any of these on or off that I want to and restrict the data access
pretty simple but it's nice that it's actually just built in like that one
neat feature is display size so if i go into settings again and then we go down
to display and we also can change the size itself so not only can we change
the font we can change the size of the display so here you'll see this is the
default i can make it larger and there we go - can make it larger
I don't know if it crashed there what there we go
large or back to default and nougat hasn't really lagged on me until just
this moment so i'm not sure what that's all about but you've got that option as
well for display size and you've got a lot of security built in as well so
there's seamless updates they've been pushing updates to the Nexus phones for
every month or so which is really nice
you've also got file based encryption and direct boot so you can start your
device faster, apps runs run more securely and even before you enter your
password but you can't get through the password without entering your password
by using your fingerprint really nice little changes now those are all the
real physical changes there's a lot of little fixes in the background this bug
fixes and speed improvements and i think most impressively for me is the
notifications the split screen and the battery life so that's pretty much it
for android nougat not a huge huge update but a really nice refinement
update and I actually really enjoy using it definitely one of those things that
I'm glad to see them tweaking over and over and there should be some changes to
google now and more of an assistant coming later also so more siri like I
guess that they showed it at the developer conference so I can't wait for more of
those features to be incorporated as well let me know what you think of
Android nougat in the comments below if you've updated maybe you don't have a
phone yet such as a note 7 that should be getting it within a month or two I
believe samsung said but let me know what you think if you have a Nexus
device and you've checked it out let us know in the comments below if you
haven't subscribed already please subscribe and like as always thanks for
watching this is Aaron i'll see you next time
