All the New Features Coming in Android N
Google just took the wraps off of the developer preview for "Android N," the next version of Android. Even better, it's available now. There are ton of new features, including a huge one we've been wanting for a while: multi-window support for phones and tablets. Here are the highlights from today's announcement.
Multi-Window Lets You Run Multiple Apps Side-by-Side
The obvious headlining feature is multi-window support, which lets you run multiple apps side-by-side in the same view. With Android N, users will be able to launch and use multiple apps right next to each other. Google hasn't specified exactly how this will work just yet, but the interface looks much like Microsoft's split-screen feature, first introduced in Windows 8.1. Apps can take up a portion of one side of the screen, and the app's interface will adapt based on how much screen real estate it's given. On tablets, the split will be left-to-right, but on phones the split will be top-to-bottom, unless you rotate the phone into landscape mode, as seen above.
