However, still there would be some bugs or improvements which probably will be made after the publication and based on the user reviews

The interesting part of Android 7.0 Nougat is that your battery will last longer between the charges, and you will also see a tremendous battery usage improvement later on. So today in this article we’ll cover all the pros & cons of Nougat. Also, we’ll share our review in this section itself. So without wasting any time further let’s get started.

Android Nougat

Android 7.0 Nougat Review:

Android 7.0 Nougat comes with a bunch of new and improved features which makes it more amazing. To install the Nougat Update on Marshmallow devices, you need to download 1.10 Gb file and install it on your Android device. Worth downloading if we look at the features and optimizations in Nougat.

The new Doze mode is very much useful to the save battery while the screen is off, The option is provided under the hood which can be accessed with a tap of a button. The Doze mode also helps in battery saving when you are not working/using the device but still, the screen is on.

The time for installing updates is also improved in Nougat; Now you don’t need to wait for long to install any OS updates on your android. The process and installation will be a lot of easy and smoother than ever.   And also do not disturb mode has become even smarter then earlier it used to be. Also, there’s a change in call blocking functionality, Now your call blocking list can be accessed by third-party apps too.

Insecurity things, the face recognition has got smarter and accurate in unlocking the device. Instead of pin, pattern, voice, you can face the security detection feature to unlock your phone within a second. Also, there are some improvements made by the developers in voice security feature, but still I would prefer face detection feature over voice

The gaming experience is superb and amazing on Nougat; Android 7.0 comes with a new API called Vulkan which enhances the 3d graphics games on the devices which it supports.  Nougat has an inbuilt Virtual Reality Mode feature for amazing and wonderful VR experience using Google’s push VR handset.

Android 7.0 Nougat Features:

  • Quick Switching Between Apps: If you are having a mid-spec device or a low spec device then you often might face lags or crashes while doing multitasking or switching between the recently used apps. In Nougat the experience of switching between the apps was quite smooth and impressive. You can directly jump into any recently used app within a blink of an eye
  • Split Screen: Even most of the high-end phones doesn’t support Split screen functionality, You need to use any third party app to get this feature. In Nougat it comes with inbuilt. Split screen works fine in portrait as well as in landscape mode without getting the hang.
  • Enhanced Multi-Tasking Ability: After a lot of improvements made by the developers, I can see the improved performance of Multi Tasking on almost any mid-range devices. It’s good to see that Google is trying hard to improve the multitasking feature because the split screen feature is the bit complicated to handle
  • Better UI and Speed: You can also observe a significant boost in speed and reliability between switching and opening the app in Nougat. At least works better than it’s predecessor MarshMallow
  • UI Tuner: With the help of UI Tuner you can set the Appriority of any particular app notifications to make it handier. You can do the settings from Power Controlling Tab itself

I am not saying that everything in Nougat is impressive, There are some cons also which I will be mentioned by the end of the article.

Android 7.0 Nougat Pros:

  • On the go, Doze mode to extend the battery life
  • Split screen feature and improved multitasking feature
  • Comes with daydream and Google’s new VR platform
  • User-friendly options and beautifully designed OS
  • Improved Notification settings and shade
  • Gives access to quick settings in hurry times

Android 7.0 Nougat Cons:

  • Not every Android device which is running on Nougat supports Daydream and VR
  • Notification menu could be improved to look more attractive

That’s all to say about Nougat Cons. Hopefully, everything will be running fine, but still, we can’t say what problem or issue you might face

Conclusion:

I hope in this article I covered maximum things, but if you think I still missed something, then please feel free to comment it down below. So, guys, it’s up to you now whether to update your android version or stick with marshmallow/lollipop. If you ask me then I would say whether to update or not then I would wait for a few weeks because not every app you use daily is compatible with Nougat. Still, it’s a great OS with a lot of improvements. That’s it for today.
