Android 7.0 Nougat has started rolling out. As is expected, Nexus devices are getting it first. These include: the Nexus 6, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, Pixel C and General Mobile 4G (Android One). Devices enrolled in the Android Beta Program will also receive this final version.

• better battery and data management, including a new data saver for restricting data usage for background apps
• improved performance
• improved productivity features, including Split-screen mode and a quick switch feature
• expanded emoji: Android 7.0 Nougat adds 72 new emojis
• more notification controls – and we hope that users get the option to disable the silly heads-up notifications introduced earlier
• quick Settings controls
