like a good nougat the latest android update is just chewy enough to give your teeth a workout if you're using a nexus device like the 6p 5x pixel c or nexus 9 then congratulations you'll be the first to receive the update as usual other android users will have to wait months maybe even years for carriers and manufacturers to roll out the update let's hope you like kit kats and lollipops if nougats new features were candy bars here's how that rate double tap the overview button and flick back and forth between two recently used apps it's simple and it works making you wonder why stock Android never had this before the nougat reading this one's a Toblerone it's the perfect balance of honey almond nougat and chocolate something that you'll want to use or eat every day hold the overview button down and split the screen in half to run two apps side-by-side watch a movie in one pane write an email on the other but it's a little buggy with some apps like games plus using it on a smaller phone screen can feel cramped the nougat rating this one's a 3 Musketeers bar overall functional but it's a little bit bland plus if you are a samsung galaxy owner this is old news no need to go into an appt to reply just do it direct from the notifications shade and notifications now collapse or expand as you need nougat rating this one is a baby route there's a little bit of something for everyone notifications are grouped by app which is actually really useful why would you want individual notifications that's like having peanuts without extra caramel and chocolate good but you know there's always something better nougat comes with 72 new emojis talk to the hand sick guy I don't want no salad with my bacon for now you'll only be sending these messages to yourself or other nougat users until Unicode nine rolls out on other devices everyone else will just see this reading emojis are so popular this one is definitely a Snickers bar now for what you don't see dos keeps bad usage low when you're not using the phone and the screen is off but unlike the version in marshmallow your phone doesn't have to be stationary for doze to take effect tweak it for individual apps by going into settings battery battery optimization and finding all apps apps with the word optimizing battery use are affected by doze but you can switch it off on individual apps by choosing the don't optimize option nougat reading big hunk the one that everyone always forgets about but it comes back with a bang and that's nougat in a nutshell for more new features and analysis go to cnet com but if you'll excuse me I think I need a trip to the dentist
