It has been about a month since the release of the latest and greatest version of Android, Android Oreo. But if talk about Nougat, it has just passed KitKat to become the third-most distributed version of Android according to the Android Distribution Numbers . I had not get the Oreo update yet on my phone. I just wanted to know what version of Android are you running on your device so that we can get a good idea of the Android distribution. So, go and vote for your version! Which Android version are you running on your smartphone? Oreo 8.0.0 Nougat 7.0/7.1 Marshmallow 6.0 Lollipop 5.0/5.1 KitKat 4.4 EVEN BELOW!!! (Comment down below)

The Android Platform Distribution Numbers has been updated by Google for July 2017 and the news is that Nougat has finally crossed 10 % user base which means it is now on more than 10% of the Android smartphones. Nougat has just increased 2% than last month's records which can only be explained as okay. Marshmallow is still on the most of our Android phones (approx. 31.8%) while the older ones have only decreased which is great for the company and the newer versions. Lollipop has decreased with 0.7% and KitKat has decreased with 1% ( Why users are still using such older versions while there are great improvements in the new ones).  Guess what? Android O can also arrive the next month. If so, we can only imagine what can happen? Let's see will Nougat be able to get a big jump in the next month?

Google announced earlier this month that the Android 7.1 Nougat developer preview will be released for select devices by the end of this month. The search giant has now delivered on its promise and made the developer preview available for Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Pixel C. In order to get the developer preview, you can sign up for the company’s Android Beta Program, which was announced earlier this year, and receive the update over-the-air. You can also choose to download the factory image for the preview from the Android website and flash it to your compatible device. Google confirmed earlier that other devices will also get the preview by the end of developer preview cycle, but there’s no word on the timeline yet. The company also confirmed that the final build of Android 7.1 Nougat will be coming to all Google devices that support Android 7.0 Nougat by early December.

Android 7.0 Nougat is a significant update over Marshmallow. Android 7.0 Nougat follows on the successful material design first seen with the launch of Marshmallow but adds new design elements to notifications. The single major update with Android 7.0 Nougat is the split-screen multitasking feature. The feature works only with handful of apps but should add support for all apps very soon. The feature is ideal for surfing the web and chatting with your friend on WhatsApp. However, some Google apps lack support for this feature.
