Android 8 - Oreo! Looks yummy, isn't it!

(Android 8, a quick look)

It was just a couple of hours before I heard the fact that Android 8 is rolling out(Yeah, I heard late -_-).  And one of the cool news it that Google has announced the fact that it would include this into its Android Open Source project. As usual Google Pixel and Nexus will receive its immediate release and other manufacturers have to wait. Get ready beta testers the new version is coming up. Google said that Android Oreo boots up twice as fast as Nougat on the company’s Pixel devices! Interesting.

As far as I have heard, the new version will have have its prime work to save battery life, to enhance the speed and security of the apps.

A new universal picture-in-picture mode, that allows a video to be played over the top of other apps in a floating window, has also been built into Android. Manufacturers such as Samsung and LG have modified Android to include such a feature for years in their smartphones and tablets. - This is something I really wanted!

Sameer Samat, VP of product management for Android and Google Play, described the operating system as “smarter, faster and more powerful than ever”.

“It comes with new features like picture-in-picture and Auto fill to help you navigate tasks seamlessly. Plus, it’s got stronger security protections and speed improvements that keep you safe and moving at light speed. When you’re on your next adventure, Android Oreo is the superhero to have by your side (or in your pocket!),” he words in a blog post.

Anyway, let us wait to get to see what it brings.
