Let's compare the latest upgrade Android 7.0 Nougat against the previous OS star Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

In terms of multitasking, the most notable improvement that comes with Android Nougat is split-screen multi-tasking. Unlike Android 6.0, which offers this features in only selected high-end phones and few apps, Android Nougat makes it available for all.

You will now be able to scan through your image gallery for an old photo while chatting with a friend or view the timer while confirming cooking instructions on the recipe.

When it comes to battery management, both versions have Doze, which allows you to get more usage time from your battery by limiting background processes when the phone is not in use.

Nougat puts the device to low power mode even in shorter periods of rest like when it's in your pocket or purse unlike Marshmallow which works during long periods of rest.

When compared to Marshmallow, Nougat notifications have more options for user engagement. For starters, you will be able to quickly respond to your notifications on the notification tray without opening the main application.  

Apart from the above changes, Android Nougat comes with Daydream VR mode that according will let you enjoy the virtual reality world in smartphones that support Daydream VR.

Also, you will be able to use 2 languages simultaneously and the emoji line-up has been increased to 72 in numbers.

It comes with a number of security and accessibility features. Also it comes with Android for Work that will enable you have a better work-life balance.

These are some of the general feature of Android Nougat. If you want to enjoy some exclusive features, a Google Pixel phone is the way to go, which is available on sale in Black Friday 2016.
