Android Oreo is Google’s new mobile OS<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Android Oreo is Google’s new mobile OS:- We finally have a name for Google’s latest mobile operating system: Android Oreo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Android Oreo, previously codenamed Android O, was announced in March. The software has been in preview for a few months so developers could update their apps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Android Oreo will first be available on Google devices, including the Pixel and Nexus lines. The launch date has not yet been announced.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new operating system name continues Google’s tradition of naming its Android updates after sweets. Previous names include Nougat, Marshmallow, and Lollipop.<\/span><\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Google has partnered with a brand. It teamed up with Kit Kat in 2013 to launch a version of the same name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google unveiled the name Android Oreo to the public during the total solar eclipse on Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company also confirmed to CNN Tech that there will be a limited run of Android-themed cookies from Oreo.<\/span><\/p>\n

The new OS will include updates to what Google (GOOG) calls “vitals,” including battery and security improvements. For example, Google Play Protect is an anti-malware feature that alerts you when you have a malicious app on your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

App badging is also coming to Android Oreo so you can see pending notifications. The notification panel itself has received a slight redesign. New emoji will also be available with an updated look: It’s tiny icons more in line with Apple’s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, you’ll be able to watch videos while using other apps on your phone or tablet with its picture-in-picture feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

There’s no official date for when other Android-powered devices will receive the update. According to Google’s numbers, most Android devices — about 85% — aren’t even on Android Nougat, last year’s release.<\/span><\/p>\n

Android is notoriously slow at rolling out device updates because of the number of manufacturers, phone carries and other third-party companies involved in seeing through a new release.<\/span><\/p>\n

But Google said Android Oreo and future versions will get new updates faster.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apple’s latest mobile update — iOS 11 — is expected to launch this fall. It will feature peer-to-peer payments, upgrades to Siri, new Live Photo effects and a way to block notifications while driving.<\/span><\/p>\n
