When Android launches a new version of its operating system, the users of the green robot look forward to its terminal receiving it as soon as possible. There are brands that are a little faster than others, since they do not have to adapt their layer to the improvements that come from Android. These are, for example, Pixel phones, Lenovo Moto or OnePlus, terminals that have pure Android or a practically identical version of the operating system. Samsung, for example, even though it keeps Android on its phones, it maintains its own layer called Touchwiz, which increases the user experience. This is why Samsung takes its time to update phones.
Finally, Android Nougat on the Samsung J7 2016
Although, sooner or later, the update ends up arriving. And now it is the turn of the Samsung Galaxy J7 2016, an entry range that has ended up becoming a very popular terminal among users. The Samsung Galaxy J7 2016 is updated to Android 7 Nougat and its users will be able to finally enjoy features such as:
- Multiscreen. Now, multitasking is the key to a new way of interacting with applications. Hold down one of them, place it at the top, and the screen will be divided in two. Now it only remains to choose the second and you can handle both at the same time. As we do in Windows but from the mobile phone.
- Shortcuts on icons. If you press and hold an application icon, a pop-up window will appear with various options related to that same app. For example, if you leave YouTube pressed, it will show a shortcut to the trendiest videos; If we choose Maps, it will show us another one in which we can see the way home or to work.
- Respond on the notification curtain itself. Now, for example, you can reply to a WhatsApp message without having to enter the application. Just slide the curtain down and write the answer directly.
- More features: night mode, battery saving, redesigned menu, shortcut settings, etc, etc.
