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

00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:17.880
get much better than dunking an Oreo into milk it just adds a little

00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:20.400
something extra namely milk so maybe

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:26.150
that's why Google went with the name Android Oreo for the eighth version of

00:00:23.699 --> 00:00:33.000
its mobile OS that it's rolling out dunking your smartphone into some

00:00:29.279 --> 00:00:35.309
exciting new features so then let's pull

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

00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:45.960
that now starting out is the significantly revamped notification

00:00:43.260 --> 00:00:53.010
system which you can now organize into channels the basic idea here is to group

00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:55.649
notifications by category and customize

00:00:53.010 --> 00:01:00.510
how your phone gets your attention on a per category basis for example if you're

00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:06.030
using a messaging app like Google Hangouts you can choose to only show

00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:10.950
some chatter from an unimportant group silently while telling your phone to

00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:14.670
vibrate light up and even override do not disturb when you get an angry ping

00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:19.920
from your boss asking where that next Techquickie script is and while we're

00:01:17.549 --> 00:01:26.009
on the subject of notifications Oreo offers iOS style notification badges

00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:28.409
that appear on app icons if they want

00:01:26.009 --> 00:01:32.759
your attention although you won't get a number showing how many notifications

00:01:30.689 --> 00:01:38.100
you have they will be drawn in different colors to match the app icon instead of

00:01:35.549 --> 00:01:43.079
that jarring lurid red that you always get on the iPhone here's another one if

00:01:40.890 --> 00:01:48.090
you've been using a Google pixel you've probably noticed how it uses round icons

00:01:45.630 --> 00:01:53.220
as opposed to the variety of shapes you might see on other Android devices with

00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:57.869
Oreo app developers can now create adaptive icons that your device will

00:01:55.740 --> 00:02:03.180
automatically adjust into a circle square or rounded circular square

00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:08.610
looking thing depending on your system settings another big visual change is

00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:13.380
picture-in-picture that's right the feature that was once a huge selling

00:02:10.500 --> 00:02:18.680
point for sports fans looking to invest big-screen TV for the living room is now

00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:24.330
coming to your pocket the goal

00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:26.850
is to enable users to carry on let's say

00:02:24.330 --> 00:02:31.650
a voice chat for example while looking up something pertinent in the background

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:36.870
sadly but maybe unsurprisingly though you'll need to shellow for YouTube read

00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:42.540
if you want to watch youtube videos with the feature but the changes to Oreo

00:02:39.540 --> 00:02:44.670
aren't all visual one of the most

00:02:42.540 --> 00:02:52.530
notable under the hood improvements is to battery life management Google is

00:02:47.910 --> 00:02:54.390
promising again but no really it's a lot

00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:57.480
better this time but although the effectiveness of these power

00:02:55.590 --> 00:03:02.370
improvements remains to be seen one thing we are sure of is Oreos ability to

00:02:59.730 --> 00:03:06.300
automatically re-enable your Wi-Fi if you're close to an own network keeping

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:10.440
you from burning through your data if you turned it off to avoid stupid

00:03:07.980 --> 00:03:15.090
pop-ups about joining cat lady house Wi-Fi when you were out and about last

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:19.410
but not least if you're an instant messaging aficionado Android stock

00:03:17.370 --> 00:03:24.270
emojis don't look like weird blobs anymore so there's that though at the

00:03:22.110 --> 00:03:27.980
same time Google also apparently decided to use a blob like octopus as a version

00:03:26.220 --> 00:03:33.590
mascot anyway Android Oreo is available for

00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:37.830
these pixel and Nexus devices and non-google phones and tablets we'll be

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

00:03:39.210 --> 00:03:45.510
