Alphabet Rolls Out Android Nougat, Updates Nexus Devices
Read MoreHide Full Article
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL - Free Report) owned Google officially confirmed the availability of Android 7.0 Nougat on Monday, initially as an update for Google’s Nexus smartphones and tablets.
The company’s latest version of Android comes with a host of improvements over Android Marshmallow including an improved notification shade that enables direct reply to messages without opening the corresponding app; split-screen multitasking, new emojis, quick setting menu, improved battery management, and support for daydream and virtual reality to mention a few.
Nexus 6, Nexus 6P, Nexus 5X, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, Pixel C and General Mobile 4G are the first models to get the update. Other smartphones will be updated in the coming months and the ones releasing this fall will have Nougat preinstalled.
Unlike the previous versions, Nougat is a crowd sourced name and Google did not wait for Google I/O to release the test version, then called Android N. Google released the test version and offered a developer preview in March.
Google has been playing with Android names since the rollout of Android 1.5 in 2009. The company has given dessert-themed names to its Android versions and that too in alphabetical order (Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Kitkat, Lolipop, Marshmallow and Nougat).
Rival Apple Inc.’s (AAPL - Free Report) latest operating system for the iPhone is slated for release next month.
At present, Alphabet has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the broader technology sector include Radcom Ltd. (RDCM - Free Report) and Barracuda Networks, Inc. , each sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).
