It includes a variety of new features and capabilities for users and Android app developers.

If you are wondering what all the major new features and changes have been introduced in Nougat by Google, read below.

Power-Saving Features: New features of Android marshmallow 6.0 called Dose can preserve the battery while the phone is lying at rest and idle but now this feature is even more improved and effective in Nougat Android 7.

• At present, your devices can drop into lower power usage while it is in your pocket or bag or when you are on the move.
