Three years ago Google introduced us to its new design language called Material Design.
It was flat,fun, graphical and colorful. It was the visual change that
ushered in the beginning of a new age for Android and its applications, one that focused less
on the rapid expansion of Android’s feature set, and more on refining
what already existed and paving the way for the future.
Android 8.0 represents the current pinnacle of that effort, the very tip of the spear, fresh from Google’s workshop. Android 8.0 Oreo is as comprehensive a version of Android as there has ever been, and it is as stable, feature-rich and functional as ever.
It is 2x Faster:
Get started on your favourite tasks more quickly with 2x the boot speed when powering up*
*boot time, as measured on Google Pixel.
Background Limits:
Android Oreo helps minimise background activity in the apps that you use least. It's the super power you can't even see.
AutoFill :
With your permission, AutoFill remembers your logins to get you into your favourite apps at supersonic speed.
Android Instant Apps :
Teleport directly into new apps straight from your browser, no installation needed.
Notification Dots
Android apps that have new notifications will now have a dot appear on the app icon to notify you. This isn't entirely new, something similar has been available on a few devices from Samsung, Asus, and HTC, among others, which indicated the number of unread notifications in each app. With Notification Dots, there is no counter but you can long press on the icon to peek at the notification right away. With Android Oreo, we will this feature roll out on all phones for a uniform experience.
Installing unknown apps got simpler
Tired of allowing apps to install from unknown sources? Oreo allows you to whitelist unknown app installations from Chrome, Google Drive, and Gmail, without needing to enable unknown sources. So if you were to download an APK from your favourite site or from gmail, it can be installed without issues. To keep your device safe Google Play Protect is available in Oreo by default, and periodically scans the phone for malware apps. It will alert you about rogue apps from time to time to keep your Android device out of danger.
So these are the some of the exciting features of Android 8 Oreo that you must try it once
