From InfoWorld: Android N, the next version of Google's mobile OS, went to a beta release candidate stage today, with the general release expected this summer.
At its I/O conference in Silicon Valley on Wednesday morning, Google showcased Android N Developer Preview 3 capabilities like automatic updates that will done in the background as well as a JIT (just in time) compiler for quicker performance and app installations.
The Vulkan 3D graphics API boosts graphics performance, and Android N also will feature better multitasking and security capabilities.
Google also previewed Android Instant Apps, which runs modular apps without installing the entire application. For example, a user could engage in a Buzzfeed video session by installing only the piece of the app needed at the time. Instant Apps will be compatible back to the Android Jelly Bean release.
