All Samsung’s flagships launched since 2014 will receive … – Tudocelular.com

The year 2015 is ending and there are still many devices to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow released at the end of September, showing that manufacturers will have enough work this coming year. Although there is no specific term, however, Samsung’s smartphone users launched 2014 here may be unconcerned because at least the flagships are already confirmed as upgradeable.

The practice of South Korea It is a kind of tradition for its high-end devices, being released at least two major upgrades to the family of Galaxy S and Note models since its first copies. In the case of the Galaxy S5 released in early 2014, this edition will be the 6.0 Marshmallow, since the device was even announced porting Android in its version 4.4 KitKat.

Remember that a few months we see reports that the new generation of green little robot is on internal testing with the old flagship South Korean, which can also be said for the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 4 Edge released a few months after it. Another point to note is that the same applies to variants of the Galaxy S5, as the case of S5 LTE-A and S5 Active even if these devices have their marketing rather limited.

Obviously the fact upgrade their latest flagship is no more than an obligation on the part of Samsung, an obligation that is not taken into account with respect to the almost countless oriented models for markets intermediate and input, which means that your users can not rely on any guarantee that they will see Android on your Marshmallow version. Furthermore, other models which obviously have sufficient hardware to the system will likely be “forgotten”, as if the Galaxy Note 3 and even Galaxy alpha.

Since there is no formal forecast for the arrival New sweet to devices, there is no way to know when those awarded the update will receive in fact, it is likely that the Android N is already almost ready to be launched when this happens.

N abandon Android Java Oracle in exchange for OpenJDK – Tudocelular.com

Large majority of Android apps using Java code as the programming language, being the exception for some games. But this operating system dependence, which also made in the interface language, should take no longer decreasing. In May, a group of Google engineers showed a new project called Sky, which uses the Dart programming language as a Java replacement – but it was not given information when we would see such a change

Improvements. brought by the Dart would be in some fast, responsive applications that run always stable without delay in view. This would allow seeing games and other app running at 120 frames per second in the smartphone screen while the current standard is 60 Hz – of course, for it would be necessary to have smartphones with screen with 120Hz refresh rate, something that we do not see the market.

While the Dart not leave the paper, Google announced a major change to the Android Java dependency. It was revealed that the company does not intend to rely on the Oracle proprietary APIs and use only open OpenJDK code. This discovery was made by analyzing the code of the next version of Android, called for now only N, and that was confirmed by Google to be one of the great innovations of the little robot in 2016.



 

“As an open-source platform, Android will continue to be built on the cooperation of the open-source community,” a Google spokesperson told VentureBeat. “In our next version of Android, we intend to move from Android Java libraries for an approach based on OpenJDK, resulting in the creation of a common code base for developers, which will facilitate the development of applications and services. Google worked for a long time and contributed to the OpenJDK community, and we look forward to further realize contributions to the OpenJDK project for the future. “

 

It was discovered when analyzing the Android code base that Google is working on this change since February. With this news, the company cut its time ties with Oracle – something that was intended with the move to the Dart language. Now we can only wait for Android N to seeing the benefits provided by the adoption of a fully free and open language developers.

If it still does not arise contextual research should enable it in the Android settings. This step is not necessary for those who have used this research before.
