Back again google released the latest android version, namely android N, not long ago we introduced with android M or marshmallow which has a lot of features in it, now google has re-issued the latest android with the name android N. For now android N can already in some mobile flagship with the Nexus series and almost all nexus devices can mamakai android this latest. Then what is given this new android, here are the N android features that must be in the know.
Change the settings menu
A hamburger menu button (icon with three lines) has now been embedded into the system settings. When users are in the Bluetooth menu, for example, they can quickly jump to other system options using this left-hand menu. This menu is already standard in other Google apps.
Reply to a message from the notification bar
The new addition, this is probably the feature that most closely resembles the Apple IOS. The message can now answer from the notification itself. With this, users will not need to leave an app to answer a message or even open their phone.
multi-window mode
As we see in Android M preview developer, Google has been working hard to bring genuine and efficient multitasking system for Android. Although the functionality was eventually eliminated from Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with Android N, Google seems now ready to make the leap.
The image below shows a multi-window feature, which works on both tablets and mobile phones and mirrors what you can currently get on some Samsung and LG devices.
As with most major platform changes, developers need to opt in split screen mode to allow their apps to run smoothly. This can be done by adding a new attribute called: resizableActivity.
This attribute allows developers to specify the minimum size of an application can be resized for and to determine whether Resize will be immediate or the application needs to restart with the required dimensions.
New Notification panel
The notification panel has been completely redesigned, perfectly aligning with what we've seen in previous leaks. The icon above the notification shade is now more prominent, and on the far right there is a dropdown switch to expand the panel.
It is now possible to respond to messages directly from within a notification, a feature that uses the same RemoteInput API that Android Wear makes use of.
Notifications can now also be "stacked", optimizing the space in the notification area.
Developers can choose to stack notifications from the same app in a row. This can then be expanded using expansion buttons or two finger gestures.

The Doze mode is improved
The energy-saving mode of Doze has been enhanced on Android N. Previously, this feature only worked when the phone remained completely annoyed for a long time, when you were sleeping, but now Google says Doze will also save battery every time the screen is turned off. We must test a new, more comprehensive system to find out what impact it has on energy consumption.
A system like this that comes into effect every time a dead phone screen might not be something everyone is interested in, but we have to see how it works in practice. It is possible that a less extreme version of Doze mode, one that monitors the energy consumption of the application without harming the usability and notification, may work.
Android Beta Program
Another new addition from Google is a way to receive build previews and over-the-air updates, avoiding the need to blink factory images. Anyone with a compatible device can register for the Android Beta Program and receive this preview built automatically.
These are just some of the new features of Android N, and many other improvements have not been implemented or previewed. Some features we may even have to wait for the final build to find out about. For now the app drawer is still fixed, although rumors suggest that it might be lost in the future.
slim design
Google says it has been working hard on the slender Project, a set of tweaks that make Android more capable of running on aging and less powerful devices. This project comes from Android KitKat but we do not know much about it yet. More detailed information h
