3. Introduction :
Android 7.0–7.1 Nougat is the seventh major version of the Android operating system. First
released as a beta build on March 9, 2016, it was officially released on August 22, 2016,
with Nexus devices being the first to receive the update, though the LG V20 was the first phone
loaded with Nougat.
Nougat introduces notable changes to the operating system and its development platform,
including the ability to display multiple apps on-screen at once in a split-screen view, support for
inline replies to notifications, as well as an OpenJDK-based Java environment and support for
the Vulkan graphics rendering API, and seamless system updates on supported devices.
History:
On March 9, 2016, ahead of the Google I/O developer conference, Google released the first beta
of Android N as part of a new Android Beta Program intended for testing by developers and
enthusiasts before official release this summer. The developer preview builds were compatible
with only current Google Nexus devices; the 5X, 6P, 6, 9, Pixel C, and Nexus Player. The
Android Beta Program that was introduced allows testers to opt-in for over-the-air updates to
new beta versions as they are released.
