New Quick Settings
In this new version of Android on the Horizon, the developer community is excited today, and they might know about complete details where you give the scoop to the laymen or which important upgrades you would see on the Nougat.
The quick settings have been changed in this version and now when the users pull down the notification shade, and they are greeted with the single reduced row of settings icons. You can access them without pulling down the shade twice, which you had done in the Marshmallow.
This settings can be customised it has Wi-Fi and mobile data. Apart from this it also has DND mode and Flashlight options. With these changes accessing these settings makes use to use the settings quite faster and very convenient.
Night Mode
Some features that do not make the cut to the final build in the Android Nougat and the Night mode was one of such features that were pulled off from last year’s final build when compared with the preview build of Marshmallow preview.
Earlier we have seen these been implemented on some custom ROM skins like Cyanogen. But company is finally thought; it’s better to give it a user option to switch to the dark colour during the night time as the white settings User Interface which is unpleasant to look at.
Probably this one is the comebacks on the Android Nougat. There is an option which can automatically switch to Night mode when the sun settles in your region.
Revamped Settings Menu
The company is keeping the most of the stuff in this latest OS Android Nougat under silence before the surprise announcement of the developer preview. But one of the things supposed was to redesign the interface of the settings module.
As the rumours were spot on it, the same thing was done. There are many small improvements which are mostly focused on getting the relevant information quickly to the user. Now the users don’t have to jump to the sub menu for navigating to the options.
All the entries are listed on the main page which has a subtitle. Whenever you visit any sub-menu, then there will be the hamburger button on the left which makes it easier to access any other part of the menu quickly. Also note that the list is still split into the sub-sections like Device, Sound, Notification and others.

Recent App UI
There are some important tweaks which we have seen on the Android N Preview Build, and we have addressed most of them. But since we have been using for a couple of hours we found out one interesting change that was going unnoticed.

This is recent app menu. This shows the larger cards when you go for the recent apps. It also shows the apps which are running in the background. The cards will now take up more area on the screen, therefore revealing more of the applications UI. You would have to scroll little more to reach to the other applications, as you go more in the list.
New File Manager Features
In the previous Android OS Marshmallow the much-needed file manager is introduced, but it lacks the notion of the features like moving the files from one folder to another as well as renaming the files or folders.
If the company want to include the feature then it should have given such features. This feature is observed in the Android N preview build. This can be viewed in Settings> Storage > Explore with the similar interface to the Android Marshmallow.

You can also view the specific files and formats separately like videos, music, documents and videos. As well as the directories like downloads and documents can be found in this file manager. We hope for looking forward to getting more features in the future update.
Emergency Information
This is one of the features probably no one thinks about, but this is the thing much needed during the medical or accidental emergency situations. This will be helpful in retrieving the emergency information when it is needed.
This is why Google has included in the Android N build. In this, the information like personal contact information, medical details and emergency contact details are stored. With this, the information is helpful to the responders in the emergency situation at the site.
All the information can be accessed by tapping the emergency button on the locked device. Then by double tapping, the information is shown which is helpful during those situations.
Change screen zoom levels (DPI)
This is one more feature which is not available in the previous operating systems which is a refreshing one. With the introducing this feature, the user can able to change the DPI. Earlier it is only available to change the font size in the display settings.
Now with the enhancements in this build, the user can able to change the DPI in three segments. Messaging, App drawer and settings. To access this feature, you have to navigate Settings> Display> Display Size.
In this, there are different types offered for the size change like small, default, Large, Larger and Largest. It has now become a system-level feature, thus making it easy to switch back and forth when it is needed.
