    Google names Android N 'Nougat'
  • Google had announced the full name of its Android N via Twitter.

    It was named Android Nougat, which continued the tradition of naming Android releases after desserts and sweets.

    It wasn't clear whether the name was the popular choice or something which Google narrowed down.

    However, Indian sweet treats like neyyappam and nankhatai were also seen in the 'Help name Android N' page's background.

  • Naming Pattern

    It has always been a sweet treat!

    Android 1.6 Donut, Android 2.0 Eclair, Android 2.2 Froyo, and Android 2.3 Gingerbread followed 'Cupcake'.

    The naming pattern also continued with Android 3.0 Honeycomb, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, Android 4.4 KitKat, Android 5.0 Lollipop, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

    Battery and Data Saving modes
  • Google said starting with the Android Marshmallow release in 2015, efforts to make the battery smarter have been made.

    With Android Nougat, the 'Doze' mode has been made even Dozier.

    Devices can now use even lower power when the screen has been off for a period.

    The all-new 'Data Saver' mode can restrict background data usage and trigger internal functions to reduce bandwidth usage.
