You Need To Know About Android 7.1 Nougat

     Android 7.1 Nougat launched in developer preview as part of Android Beta Program on October 20. “We’re continuing the model we used in N and earlier releases,” Google announced in a blog post. “We’re delivering the initial Developer Preview at beta quality for the Nexus lineup of devices.” Fair warning, though, that the developer preview isn’t free of bugs: Google notes that some users might encounter “instability,” “higher than expected” battery drain, and other issues.

     Google said it will extend support to other devices by the end of its preview. Interestingly, some of the some older Nexus models will also be getting a taste of the latest software.  They include Motorola Nexus 6, HTC Nexus 9, Huawei Nexus 6P, LG Nexus 5X, Pixel C, Asus Nexus Player and supported Android One devices. These phones will get the software in the next few weeks.
Google said it plans to roll out the final version of Android 7.1.x by early December. But those who wish to test the Developer Preview must have the device enrolled in the Android Beta Program.
     According to statements released by Google today the update to Android 7.1 Nougat is coming soon, and one feature many will enjoy is “Night Light”. This was shown off in the Android N Beta but removed before it was officially released.
It will be similar to Apple’s Night Shift, and the idea is making the screen easier on the eyes at night or dark environments. Night Light will turn the entire screen slightly yellow and red, getting rid of the bright blue light from smartphone displays. This has shown to keep users awake, cause eye-strain and more. Night Light will make Android devices easier on the eyes, starting with 7.1 Nougat thanks to a blue light filter.
      Of course these are just a few of many many changes we can expect to see in Android 7.1 Nougat when it arrives. Google also mentioned improved touch and display performance, developer-focused enhancements, and bug fixes. The confirmation of Android 7.1 today mentioned a few other extremely exciting features. Some of those are app shortcuts right on the homescreen. This will work similar to Apple’s 3D Touch,
