I'd look for the official Google Pixel Android O update to land in about a week. Could be pushed, but that's the timeline for now AFAIK.— David Ruddock (@RDR0b11) August 2, 2017
However, Google brings out the new Android version in August is not a big surprise. The search engine giant has already declared the Timeline for future releases in the middle of the third quarter. Therefore, 08.08.2017, the upcoming Tuesday as the release date is suitable.
With Android O, Google brings some most wanted features for Android smartphones and tablets. These are the new features on Android 8.
- Picture-in-Picture Mode
- Notification Channels
- Notification Badges on the Home Screen
- Smart Text Selection
- Revamped File Manager
- Battery-Saving Background Restrictions
- Snooze Individual Notifications
- Fingerprint Scanner Gestures
- Navigation Bar Tuner
- Custom Lock Screen Shortcuts
- Overlay Sticky Notification
Under the hood, the platform operator, among other things, is working on a new mechanism, which regulates the background activities of apps more, thus ensuring a better battery life of Android smartphones.
