 Hey everybody, Google decided to shock the world by releasing a brand new version of Android today. It's Android N, but it's the developer preview. It's a very early beta release, it's not the sort of thing you should install on your phone to use every day. But you can install it on a Nexus by going to the website, downloading all the files, or soon today they will be letting Nexus users update over the air directly so you don't have to lose all of your data, which is really cool. But you probably shouldn't do it unless you've just got a test device lying around. We happen to have a test device lying around, so let's show you what we were seeing so far in Android N. So the biggest news in Android N is that they've updated multitasking so you can have more than one app open at a time. It works both on phones and on tablets, so you'll see I hit this multitasking button and it pops up really quickly, you can still quit stuff. But what you do is you hold down on the little bar at the top, you drag it up to the top and ta-da, all of a sudden you're multitasking. You can resize the things, you can open up the other app in the other window, and so on. If you go back to the home screen, the second app that you have open actually shoots up to the nav bar at the top, which is kind of clever. And so if I open up, say, downloads here, it hops back down. And so it works pretty well. It also will work in landscape. Basically it just copies the portrait landscape stuff that most Android apps are capable of doing. That said, it can be a little bit buggy, although I will note that we got it to work pretty well with third-party apps just out of the box before eventually we got to a crash. So this is pretty early, but it's great to see Android finally handle this. Really happy about that. The next big change you're gonna notice is in the notification shade. So these notifications look a little bit different than they used to, and they also have a lot more information inside them. So you can still drag down on any notification with more information to look at it. One finger, two finger drag. You can also reply directly to people from the notification shade for any app if a developer builds it in, in the same way that Hangout does. And you may have noticed these icons up at the top. This is a little thing that Google seems to have borrowed from Samsung. These are the quick settings. They're there right away when you pull down. You can also pull down again to expand them into the old quick settings mode. And it's paginated, and you can edit it to move stuff in and out of it as you like. So we can take hotspot, put it back into the main quick settings, and now there's a hotspot there. So that is pretty neat. And speaking of settings, I want to show a couple things to you. So you can actually now just hold down on one of these quick settings to jump right into the settings for that thing. So I jump right into Wi-Fi. If I go into the entire settings here, you'll see that they list a lot more information. It tells you what Wi-Fi network you're on, what is going on with everything here. It even gives you little suggestions if you want to, you know, you should set up a screen lock, you should change the wallpaper. And there's another feature called Data Saver, which you can go in here and you can turn that on, and it will restrict apps from, you know, using too much data, and you can even choose which apps are allowed to use however much they want here. So we'll be playing a lot more with that feature soon. Some stuff that's a little bit harder to show you. There is a new version of Doze that is able to work even if it's in your pocket and you're moving around, so that should really help with battery life. And you can see here in the battery meter here, it shows you how much time is left right from the notification shade, which is pretty cool. So I got to say, overall, I'm actually really impressed with this build of Android N. The animations are way faster, everything seems snappier, and I know that this is a fresh, brand new device and everything's always nice in a brand new device, but it really looks good. But the important thing to know is this is not everything there is to know about Android N. Google says there's going to be much more that they're going to tell us about it, and I'm pretty sure they're going to do that at the Google I.O. conference in May, and you can guarantee that we're going to be there live to tell you all about it.

 Hey everybody, Google decided to shock the world by releasing a brand new version of
 Android today.
 It's Android N, but it's the developer preview.
 It's a very early beta release, it's not the sort of thing you should install on your phone
 to use every day.
 But you can install it on a Nexus by going to the website, downloading all the files,
 or soon today they will be letting Nexus users update over the air directly so you don't
 have to lose all of your data, which is really cool.
 But you probably shouldn't do it unless you've just got a test device lying around.
 We happen to have a test device lying around, so let's show you what we were seeing so far
 in Android N.
 So the biggest news in Android N is that they've updated multitasking so you can have more
 than one app open at a time.
 It works both on phones and on tablets, so you'll see I hit this multitasking button
 and it pops up really quickly, you can still quit stuff.
 But what you do is you hold down on the little bar at the top, you drag it up to the top
 and ta-da, all of a sudden you're multitasking.
 You can resize the things, you can open up the other app in the other window, and so
 on.
 If you go back to the home screen, the second app that you have open actually shoots up
 to the nav bar at the top, which is kind of clever.
 And so if I open up, say, downloads here, it hops back down.
 And so it works pretty well.
 It also will work in landscape.
 Basically it just copies the portrait landscape stuff that most Android apps are capable of
 doing.
 That said, it can be a little bit buggy, although I will note that we got it to work pretty
 well with third-party apps just out of the box before eventually we got to a crash.
 So this is pretty early, but it's great to see Android finally handle this.
 Really happy about that.
 The next big change you're gonna notice is in the notification shade.
 So these notifications look a little bit different than they used to, and they also have a lot
 more information inside them.
 So you can still drag down on any notification with more information to look at it.
