Android Nougat (7.0) is coming real soon now. The final preview build, Developer eview 5, has just been released. You can get the latest build for recent Nexus devices here.

So what’s new in the latest release? According to a post by David Burke (Vof Engineering) on the Android Developers Blog, you’ll find the follow four major items:

  • System images for Nexus other preview devices
  • An emulator that you can use for doing the final testing of your apps to make sure they’re ready
  • The final N As (A level 24) latest system behaviors UI
  • The latest bug fixes optimizations across the system in preinstalled apps

Of course, you’ll also find a few bugs, so we wouldn’t recommend installing this on your main everyday phone or tablet.

There is no official release date for the final release of Android Nougat, but we expect that system images over-the-air updates for supported Nexus devices will probably be released by the end of September.
