Android N release date, name and features
All the latest news and rumours about Android N
Android N: What’s it going to be called? Nougat, Nutella, Naan bread?
The top contenders at the moment are Nectar, Nougat and Nutella. Following KitKat, a brand name isn’t out of bounds, but Android Nougat has a good ring to it so we’re going for that one at the moment.
Android N: Release date
Android M was announced at I/O 2015, and it’s very likely that Google will take a similar approach to Android N and launch it at I/O 2016. This year that conference falls between 18-20 May, so expect to see N make its public debut during the opening keynote.
Android N: Features
One of the main features potentially coming to Android N is the inclusion of split-screen multi-tasking.
Aside from split-screen functionality, there are also signs that Android N could eat up Chrome OS. The specifics are currently vague, but the idea would be that Android absorbs a number of elements from Chrome OS, presumably with an aim to increase Android’s reach over laptops. Whether or not this cannibalisation will occur in time for Android N, instead of Android O, remains to be seen.
