A few days ago we started the update of many devices via OTA to the latest version of Android 7.1.1 Nougat . But a few hours ago that Google released the official text that includes all the changes and updates of the Android update 7.1.1 Nougat .

The Android version 7.1.1 Nougat is basically an incremental update that in general does not bring great news . Fundamentally, functions that were exclusive to Google Pixel have been incorporated so that they can be used by the rest of the devices at the same time that several errors have been corrected and optimizations introduced.

This update corresponds to the level of API 25. As we said, this update puts at the disposal of the rest of manufacturers the exclusive functions of Google Pixel that are:

• New night mode (less bright mode for low light situations) .
• Improved the response time of screen touches.
• Possibility of making updates in the background. This functionality will not be compatible with all devices, since it requires the use of a special partition in the internal storage of the device as we saw when we explained how the updates in the background of Android Nougat work .
• Improvements in the Google keyboard that allows the use of .gif files and new input modes.
• Introduced new emoji.
• App developers can now offer quick access functionality.
• New quick gestures
• New functionality to free up space in internal storage.
• New quick settings accessible from the notification bar are added.

We see that they have chosen not to integrate some of the most recent developments such as the Pixel Launcher, the Google assistant or the circular icons, although these options can be added by us.

Google Pixel devices will also benefit from new settings to configure the lock screen. In addition to Pixel, we know that Nexus terminals are also receiving this update via OTA.
