Android 7.0 Nougat rollout begins for Nexus devices
Red alert, Nexus owners: Google has announced it’s begun rolling out Android 7.0—that’s yummy, decadent Android Nougat—via over-the-air updates. The first devices to get the new operating system will be the Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P and Nexus 6 phones, as well as the Nexus 9 and Pixel C tablets.
The new OS will also arrive on the Nexus Player media streamer, as well as the General Mobile 4G—that’s the Android One phone sold in Europe. Like all new Android releases, expect the Nougat roll-out to take a few weeks, with some carriers moving more quickly than others.
Top-line Nougat features include a new multi-window mode for app multitasking; better control over Quick Settings and recent apps; direct reply in notifications; and 72 new emoji. (Don’t lie: You come for the multitasking, but stay for the emoji).
