this episode of android authorities brought to you by atlassian build what's next alright we got lots of good news about the new version of Android called Android n or as I'm affectionately calling it until we know the official name Android Nutella but before we get to Nutella let's talk about the new HTC 10 leaks this week's leaks come from a twitter user called Tana libera and it looks like HTC took the one m7 s camera module and paste it on the back of the 10 there's a slightly bigger flash to the right of the sensor as well according to previous rumors though the device will sport a 12 megapixel rear camera with laser autofocus as well as a 5 megapixel ultrapixel shooter for the front as far as the design goes HTC doesn't seem to be staying too far away from past one flagships the HTC 10 appears to have a pretty sizeable chamfer that extends around the entire device moving to the front we're not seeing anything too surprising a supposed 5.2 inch AMOLED display with an earpiece above a big front camera sensor to the right down below the display sits a Samsung like style physical home button flanked by capacitive back and recent app buttons we're not entirely sure why HTC is switching back to capacitive buttons from an on-screen key but the decision probably won't be taken lightly by HTC hardcore fans well for the hardest core android fans out there you'll be happy to know about androids beta program the android beta program will allow users who are interested in trying out the android and preview to receive over-the-air updates for every preview release just like they would on any other update up until now users who wanted to test varies preview releases had to flash each image separately the new beta eliminates this friction to be clear the android program is meant for developers only in fact google warned that the beta program is meant for quote adventurous developers and that it recommends testers to install the beta on a secondary device no daily drivers here people that means that should you take the plunge you should expect a fair share of bugs and other issues potentially including some that could render your device usable but for those of you who do want to take that plunge all you have to do is go to google com for which / android /b de and enroll but what does Android n going to look like well there are a lot of changes that we expect far too many for me to talk about in today's single show we'll probably devote a whole other show just to Android n features but I did want to talk about one that many of you will find interesting the recent App menus in Android n has also been revised and improved with larger cards and the recent apps stack as usual tapping the square button will bring up a cascade of your most recently used apps but if you double tap the square button instead you'll quickly switch between your current app and the one you last used while you're in the recent app list tapping the recent apps button again will cycle you through the most recently used apps one by one as opposed to swiping through the whole list and if you let the small countdown slider beneath the app bar expire the app will go into full screen long pressing the recent App buttons will launch a multi window mode as you can see in the video here now there's been lots of concern from many of you about whether or not Android end will have an app drawer and there's been confusing reports some indication saying that it's gone in some indications that it will still be there and the news we have today is clear as mud prior to the Mobile World Congress 2016 we were told that the Android n would ditch the app drawer one of androids most iconic features then during the show the evidence started piling up with the LG g5 and the HTC one x 9 arriving without an app drawer and the galaxy s7 having an option to remove it while the new xperia x range does have an app drawer Sony's marshmallow concept provides a classic and modern view with and without an app drawer my educated guess though the app drawer is probably on its way out let me know what you think in the comments below would you miss the app drawer unleash

unleash the potential of your team build what's next thanks for watching guys but I did need to take a quick moment and apologize to all of you and especially to an app developer named francisco franco and francisco is the app developer behind the focus app that I talked about two days ago in the privacy show I said that his appt was or the premium version of his appt was thirty dollars it's not that much not anywhere near that he has in-app purchases for his focus app for anywhere from just over a buck to just over $13 so there's a free version but there are premium in-app options if you want to purchase those so again I apologize will not happen again let me know what you guys think of today's show in the comments below talk to you soon you
