HTC to roll out Android N update for HTC 10, One M9 and One A9 Smartphones


Contradicting all rumours, Google refrained from announcing the commercial version of Android N, giving us only a new developer preview. The full and final version will see the light of the day with the Nexus smartphones later this year, but that didn't stop HTC to announce which smartphones from its portfolio will be getting the Android N upgrade - whenever it arrives.

On its official Twitteraccount, HTC has posted a photo of three smartphones – the HTC 10, One A9 and the One M9 with a caption that reads, "Life is about to get a little sweeter. Android N will be coming to the HTC 10, HTC One A9 and the HTC One M9." HTC 10, One M9, One A9 will get Android N update later this year

The Android N update comes with bunch of new features and improvements – including the ability to quickly reply from notification panel, group notification for apps and circular icons for folders. The multi-window support also comes built in which allows you to run two apps side-by-side or top and bottom. Google has also done some background optimizations to doze mode to further improve the battery life. The apps will instantly hibernate when the screen is turned off.

Another feature is the improved data saver to block background data access to apps. An option to whitelist background apps is also present, letting you give background internet access to some apps that you need, such as Gmail, WhatsApp, Facebook and more.

Google has also added number blocking feature to block calls from unwanted numbers, and call screening feature to ensure that blocked and rejected calls don’t show up in notifications. Lastly, there is also always-on VPN for work related apps.
