Differences between Android 7 and 8 (Oreo vs Nougat)
1. Notifications
Android O looks to improve upon every
good thing Android Nougat brought along, and then some. With Android O,
we’re getting Notification Channels, which are
basically categories that an app can classify its notifications into.
This means that instead of having to change notification settings for an
entire app, users will now get even more fine-grained control over the kinds of notifications they want. Notification Controls in Android O (left) vs Android Nougat (right)Notifications can also be snoozed in Android O, and
this really does look like a good feature. Users will be able to simply
swipe a notification, and tap on the snooze icon to snooze the
notification for a default time of 15 minutes. This can be extended (at
least in the current Developer Preview) to a maximum of 1 hour.
Personally, I’d like to have some sort of custom time here, the way
“Inbox” handles snoozing emails, but this is just the first Developer
Preview, so there’s a lot of time for that. Notification Options in Android O (left) vs Android Nougat (right). The clock icon is Snooze.
There’s also a minor change in the way the Notification Shade behaves
on Android O. While double swiping on the Status Bar in Android Nougat used to hide some of the lower notifications in order to properly display the Quick Settings panel, Android O converts them into small app icons
on the bottom of the Notification Shade instead. So while the Quick
Settings panel gets displayed properly, you’ll still be able to see the
apps that have pending notifications, without having to swipe back up.
