Android N faces iOS 9.3; new features, design and more [video] – Tudocelular.com

We are testing the TudoCelular Android N few days ago and started a series of videos with the preview version of the new version of mobile operating system from Apple. It is important to bear in mind that this version is still a beta for developers and enthusiasts, but appears to be already “lean” enough to ensure a good autonomy and performance. Thinking about it, we decided to compare it with the newest iOS 9.3 that was recently released by Apple, and the result you see now.



A few changes in the design

we continued to maintain the same visual material design, which does not cease to be something positive for the mobile platform of the company. She kept the traditional aspects and has not added transitions or exaggerated effects, all for the performance of the devices is in the expected levels of users.

But the big question here, however, is that many people hoped for a some makeover in this new version, which leaves that impression of “ but here it could have changed ” in some questions. However, this is the first beta of Android N, then we can wait for changes later.

In the next Apple, the company continues with the same look ever and did virtually no visible change in design , which is also a good thing for users. In this version, which is not a big update (not like what will be the iOS 10), she bet on security and usability.



New Features for both sides

If both companies have abandoned the visual changes, was even more remarkable work done with the new features.

on iOS, Apple has added the option to put passwords on some notes of the native notes application. This is really nice for those who want to protect passwords and other personal data, but does not work the way everyone expected. You can only add passwords to some notes (and this includes the use of the Touch ID ), but the application can be opened by anyone who wants to see all your other notes.

on the side of Google, the big bet goes to multitasking, which is becoming more fluid. Right away, you realize that to switch between applications just tap twice on the multitasking icon and then the application that was being used before going to the foreground.

But, of course, the big improvement goes to the use of two applications simultaneously with the split screen. This is a beta version of Android, ie, many bugs can occur. With Google’s native apps (Gmail, Drive, Chrome), this feature works flawlessly and you can resize the space occupied by each screen of the app, but if you try to open the Instagram or Facebook, for example, it may not work correctly .

you, of course, will solve this in the next Android updates N before it reaches its final version for all users, but we anticipate that this addition is extremely positive especially for those who have devices with large screen -. as the Nexus 6 that we are using the wording

in the iOS, 3D Touch is much actions when it comes to multitasking. Just tap on the left side of the device screen with a little pressure and drag to the right than the previous application back to the foreground. If you prefer, simply touch harder than all the other apps open in the background are displayed.

Message . Direct notifications from now (as seen in the video at the beginning of this article), Android users will be able to respond to messages without having to open applications (such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Gmail and others). You can also listen to voice messages directly from the central notifications. IOS that has been present for some time and there are hardly any differences between the two platforms.

Twelve + and energy . What users want from now on is to maintain the autonomy of their cell for at least a full day, and without worrying about “ can not play this little game but now my battery will die .” And I am thinking about it that Google brought the Twelve + mode, which is basically an upgrade in order Twelve previously released. It limits some capabilities of the device and makes your battery is extended for a few more hours, but do not expect an incredibly large increase.

Virtual Assistants . Siri and Google Now received small but nice improvements. The Now got smarter and now only shows what is really interesting for the user, even gives some suggestions before you perform searches. Siri, following the same path, going to give contact suggestions of its agenda, the App Store and others.



Conclusion

 Android N: our first impressions and major changes

Changes made to both the Android N as in iOS 9.3 are not visual, but practical. The two companies are betting safely to their platforms, but forgot to bring new features to users. Google, in turn, tries to get its mobile system becomes wider and more fluid, while Apple bets on minor updates (also important) to maintain stable platform.

But, of course we have in mind that this is a version of preview of Android N, while the iOS 9.3 is already in its final version for all users. We will wait for Google news in future Android updates No, because until it is finally released for all, a number of new features might still appear.
