Seamless updates on Android N will not be coming to existing smartphones

Google introduced the developers preview a few months ago, and showed off much greater details during the Google I/O 2016.

The Android N release date was recently discussed at the Google I/O 2016 on Wednesday.

One of the most exciting features coming in Android N is one that doesn't have an iPhone equivalent, and it concerns systems updates. It won't be a surprise Google wants to tap the tech firm for Nexus 2016 once more.

The Nexus 2016 is expected to be revealed together with Google's newest mobile operating system Android N, as it always was in the older versions of the smartphone. Sadly, Seamless Updates will only work on Android phones which will come with Android N pre-loaded. Nexus devices are always the first ones to get Android updates since they come from Google.

According to Google, the updates and security patched required by the OS will be downloaded and installed automatically, as it is focused on providing enhanced security features to the Google Nexus 7 users, reported The Verge.

It's 2016 and that means Google's next big Android update is coming soon.

Brought over from Android Wear watches, Google now lets you reply to text messages from the notification shade. So if you must have it, you'll have to buy a new Nexus smartphone this summer, or a device that comes with Android N preinstalled later this year.

Android updates are still going to arrive too late, backups are still too complicated and every app in the Play Store may still be an attempt to deceive me. It claims that the new Google tablet will have a 7-inch QHD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, powered by the Snapdragon 625 with 4 GB of RAM.

Android N is the latest iteration of the Android ecosystem and you can get it if you know how. With the feature, Android fans are given snapshots of an app before taking the plunge thus minimizing the disappointment factor. Your settings menu will remind you of the things you've forgotten to set up on your phone, and all things VR will become a reality with the new Android platform, Daydream.
