Handwriting

This version of Android has received a new keyboard, very much like Swype in functions.

Miracast support

The ability to stream HDMI wireless video transmission from the device (it does not matter if you watch a video on YouTube, TV or video from the device itself) on a high-definition TV.

Multiple user profile support

Now, a tablet or phone can store several user accounts and their personal settings and quickly switch between them. And even the progress in the games for each user will be saved. To do this, use the multitasking function.

Spherical panoramas

Photo Sphere will allow you to create spherical panoramas from photos. Which then you can immediately download, for example, on Google Maps.

Active notifications

A single space for all received notifications + the ability to perform actions directly from this notification panel.

Daydream

Show background applications while the device is in standby mode or in the dock. For example, photo albums, news from subscriptions, and more.

Live it now

The ability to automatically provide the necessary information. For example, you are standing on the railway platform, and the smartphone itself tells you which trains will be here soon. Or shows pictures of popular places nearby. In general, here is a video for you.
