It has been a long time, but the wait will have been worth it. Owners of a Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) begin to receive the update file to the Android 7.1.1 Nougat version in their terminals. At the moment, the first terminals to receive the update are those located in Poland. Later and throughout the following days, the rest of the users will be able to enjoy all the advantages that Android 7 Nougat offers in their terminals. Additionally, this update includes version 8.5 of the Samsung Experience user interface system.
What will we find in version 8.5 of Samsung Experience?
In addition to the integration with Samsung's cloud service, Samsung Cloud, we have a new device manager application, in addition to the possibility of using physical buttons such as camera zoom. Little more, except for a much more fluid and smooth feeling of use than in the previous version of Samsung Experience. The most noticeable changes when updating this new version will be those developed by Android for its penultimate version, Android 7 Nougat. Let's see in a little more detail what users can do with this new and long-awaited update.
And updating to Android 7 Nougat? What do we have new?
Among other functions, these are the most outstanding:
Multiscreen
Although there are applications that are not compatible, with Android 7 Nougat we can use several applications at the same time, allocating half of the screen for one app, and the rest for the other. Activating it is very simple: you just have to go to the multiscreen, choose the first application and take it to the top. There it will stay fixed. Then choose the second one. At that time, the screen will be divided in two.
Shortcuts on desktop icons
Before, when we clicked on a desktop icon for a while, we could move that icon to the trash, to delete it. Now, in addition, a pop-up window will appear with various options. Those options may, in turn, become icons. Specific icons for each app that will help you with precise functions. For example, you can create a Maps icon that tells you, directly, the way home. Or to work. You just have to click and drag. That simple
Night mode
With Nougat you can apply a yellowish filter against the blue light of the screen and thus be able to rest better. It has been proven that the blue light from the screens activates our body and destabilizes our sleep rhythm. With this filter we can use the mobile at night and sleep a little better. Although if its use is avoided, the better.
Configure the shortcuts in the notification bar: now we can choose which icons we want to appear in the notification curtain and which not. Before, this was only possible if we gave root permission to the terminal, but now, just by marking the pencil icon, we can put the ones we want and remove the rest.
These are some of the best news about Android Nougat, along with better battery management on the screen off or various aesthetic settings in the settings menu. If you have not yet received the update to Android 7 and you have a Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) do not despair. But it must be when it falls. Surely, between this week and next week you will receive it. Take care to have enough space and battery for its installation, as well as to make a backup copy of all your photos and files, in case you lose them.
