The release of Android 7.0 Nougat is just around the corner. And if everything is clear with new smartphones, they will immediately come out with the latest version of the operating system, then not everyone will receive an update from the devices of earlier models.

In addition to improving performance, optimizing charge consumption and other standard updates, several unprecedented chips will be implemented. First, a multi-window mode will appear. You can simultaneously display on the display any two applications, for example, in one area of the screen a chat is started, where you invite friends to the cinema, and in the other side - a browser with an open cinema schedule. Or documents with a calculator, Instagram and image editor - there are plenty of applications.
