Google releases a small spoiler on Android N

Just a small spoiler.

While Marshmallow version of Android is barely deployed, already evokes the next Google, whose nickname begins with N and whose preview (not stable) will probably be submitted by the Mountain View company in its next I / O conference .

As you may already know, Google unveiled the convertible Pixel C during the Nexus event that took place in late September. On paper and in design, the pixel C has it all.



However, it has the distinction of not being in Chrome OS, but Android. And the trouble is that for the moment, the mobile operating system from Google is not really optimized for this type of product, nor most of the applications that are available. Thus, it has a superb hardware but not the software that should go with.

And during a session WADA's community site Reddit, Google engineers wished to discuss this problem with Internet users. The phrase that sums it all is that of Glen Murphy, Android and Chrome UX director at Google: "We are working on a series of improvements for Android form factor."

But the one who actually dropped a spoiler on the next version of Android is Andrew Bowers, the consumer hardware director: "We are working on many things for Android N, of course, we wish we had yesterday. But we spoilerions surprises (Android) N if we shared them all. The split screen is on the way. "

To recap, the split screen or multi-window, can divide the screen to view multiple applications simultaneously, as on Windows. This feature, although essential for the pixel C is a real productivity tool, is not yet present. However, other manufacturers, to name but Samsung have already added it to Android via their overcoats.

Otherwise, Google also said it plans to work with developers for there to be more Android apps optimized for tablets (or convertible) with the same format as the Pixel C.
