The new version of Android 8 is already on the road! What can we expect?

April 14, 2017 | News

Google is working on several interesting features that may differ from the successor to Android 7.0 Nougat. Maybe we’ll see the new Android already at the conference for Google I / O developers.

Fresh information about Android comes to the site VentureBeat. Some of the functions that Google currently operates on can help catch up with Apple in the use of artificial intelligence mechanisms on the iOS platform.

One of the new solutions is called Copy Less. As the name indicates, the function will be able to automate and simplify the copying of content between individual applications.

An example from life: while talking on a communicator with a friend, being nearby, Copy Less will offer you restaurant addresses so that you can meet and have a snack.

Another of the novelties is the clever links in the message text, the click of which causes the corresponding application to be redirected in the system. Here, Google is still far behind Apple. This solution for some time already works on the iOS platform. If Android does not recognize the address, it will launch the maps, and for the phone number, call the numeric keypad. Also, with the date, you can quickly add it to the calendar.

VentureBeat also mentions the use of gesture drawing with the new Android to launch specific applications. The solution is not new and some manufacturers use them in their smartphones. In Google, it seems, only paid attention to the potential of opportunities.

The Google I / O conference, which, perhaps, we will see in action the new Android, will be held May 15-18. As a rule, the first test version will fall into the hands of a very limited circle – owners of smartphones from the Pixel series, as well as Nexus.
