Google’s Pixel smartphones will more than likely get the new OS before it is finally distributed to third party phone manufacturers.
Android O will be the eighth generation of the Android operating system and it should bring the following performance, feature, and design improvements:
1. Android O will be optimized for better overall app performance and battery life.
2. Battery life percentage in the Android status bar!
3. Better organized settings app.
4. Google Play Protect feature scans your apps to make sure none of them contain security flaws that could be harmful to your device — and potentially your security and privacy.
5. Picture-in-picture feature that lets you watch a video or launch a video call while you’re doing something else on your phone.
6. Smart Text Selection feature will make it easier to select a whole name or phone number.
7. Treble feature on Android O will let non-Google Android phones receive Android updates faster.
