The first Android N developer preview from 2016 had a picture-in-picture mode, like you'd see in Apple's iPad, but it was for Android TV. This feature is widely available in Google Oreo for smartphones as a baked in feature. So you can continue watching a video while, for instance, answering a chat in another app. Launching it is as simple as press...
Google billed Notification Dots as "a new for app developers to indicate that there's activity in their app". On the surface, it looks similar to the app badges we've seen on the iPhone's operating system for years. It's essentially a little dot that appears on the app icons when there's a notification. To interact with it, you can long-press on th...
We use Autofill every day in the Chrome browser, and now Google is bringing a system-wide iteration to Android.

With Android Oreo, Google has done some serious work on the backend to improve speed. That means, booting up your phone will take far less time than it does currently. With the Pixel, Google claims it boots up more than twice as fast. It will also mean that apps load faster and smoother by default, without any work needed by the developers.
To improve the battery life of Android devices, Google plans to reduce the background activity of apps in Android Oreo. Android can now limit how apps function in the background, thus improving a user's battery life and the device's interactive performance. 1. The best Android apps you must download first
Google added a "reliable, predictable model" for "arrow" and "tab" navigation that helps both developers and users, the company said.
Android Oreo supports Bluetooth audio codecs like the LDAC codec. There's also a new "Wi-Fi Aware", which was previously known as Neighbor Awareness Networking. On supported devices, apps and nearby devices can communicate over Wi-Fi without an internet access point.
Android Oreo will make it possible for app developers to take advantage of support for a wide-colour gamut displays. There's a growing trend for improving displays by making them HDR compatible (both on Android TV, but also in smartphones and tablets). A large component of HDR is supporting wider colour gamuts, which goes hand-in-hand with this asp...
