thanks for watching Techquickie click the subscribe button then enable

00:00:03,210 --> 00:00:10,620
notifications with the Bell icon so you won't miss any future videos it doesn't

3
00:00:08,099 --> 00:00:17,880
get much better than dunking an Oreo into milk it just adds a little

4
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:20,400
something extra namely milk so maybe

5
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:26,150
that's why Google went with the name Android Oreo for the eighth version of

6
00:00:23,699 --> 00:00:33,000
its mobile OS that it's rolling out dunking your smartphone into some

7
00:00:29,279 --> 00:00:35,309
exciting new features so then let's pull

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:40,800
the newest version of Android apart and have a taste of what's inside I'll stop

9
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:45,960
that now starting out is the significantly revamped notification

10
00:00:43,260 --> 00:00:53,010
system which you can now organize into channels the basic idea here is to group

11
00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:55,649
notifications by category and customize

12
00:00:53,010 --> 00:01:00,510
how your phone gets your attention on a per category basis for example if you're

13
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:06,030
using a messaging app like Google Hangouts you can choose to only show

14
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:10,950
some chatter from an unimportant group silently while telling your phone to

15
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:14,670
vibrate light up and even override do not disturb when you get an angry ping

16
00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:19,920
from your boss asking where that next Techquickie script is and while we're

17
00:01:17,549 --> 00:01:26,009
on the subject of notifications Oreo offers iOS style notification badges

18
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:28,409
that appear on app icons if they want

19
00:01:26,009 --> 00:01:32,759
your attention although you won't get a number showing how many notifications

20
00:01:30,689 --> 00:01:38,100
you have they will be drawn in different colors to match the app icon instead of

21
00:01:35,549 --> 00:01:43,079
that jarring lurid red that you always get on the iPhone here's another one if

22
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:48,090
you've been using a Google pixel you've probably noticed how it uses round icons

23
00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:53,220
as opposed to the variety of shapes you might see on other Android devices with

24
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:57,869
Oreo app developers can now create adaptive icons that your device will

25
00:01:55,740 --> 00:02:03,180
automatically adjust into a circle square or rounded circular square

26
00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:08,610
looking thing depending on your system settings another big visual change is

27
00:02:06,090 --> 00:02:13,380
picture-in-picture that's right the feature that was once a huge selling

28
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:18,680
point for sports fans looking to invest big-screen TV for the living room is now

29
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:24,330
coming to your pocket the goal

30
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:26,850
is to enable users to carry on let's say

31
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:31,650
a voice chat for example while looking up something pertinent in the background

32
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:36,870
sadly but maybe unsurprisingly though you'll need to shellow for YouTube read

33
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:42,540
if you want to watch youtube videos with the feature but the changes to Oreo

34
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:44,670
aren't all visual one of the most

35
00:02:42,540 --> 00:02:52,530
notable under the hood improvements is to battery life management Google is

36
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:54,390
promising again but no really it's a lot

37
00:02:52,530 --> 00:02:57,480
better this time but although the effectiveness of these power

38
00:02:55,590 --> 00:03:02,370
improvements remains to be seen one thing we are sure of is Oreos ability to

39
00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:06,300
automatically re-enable your Wi-Fi if you're close to an own network keeping

40
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,440
you from burning through your data if you turned it off to avoid stupid

41
00:03:07,980 --> 00:03:15,090
pop-ups about joining cat lady house Wi-Fi when you were out and about last

42
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:19,410
but not least if you're an instant messaging aficionado Android stock

43
00:03:17,370 --> 00:03:24,270
emojis don't look like weird blobs anymore so there's that though at the

44
00:03:22,110 --> 00:03:27,980
same time Google also apparently decided to use a blob like octopus as a version

45
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:33,590
mascot anyway Android Oreo is available for

46
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:37,830
these pixel and Nexus devices and non-google phones and tablets we'll be

47
00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:41,340
getting it in the coming months no word yet though on whether we'll be getting a

48
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:45,510
