With the
release of Android 7.0 Nougat it
was foreseeable that the Nexus main screen would be redesigned. As Google does not intend to disappoint Nexus fans, it has equipped its new launcher with improvements in accessibility and ease of use. Throughout this article we will examine the
news of the launcher of the Nexus smartphone
.
One of the features most appreciated by users is the functionality and appearance of the launcher, since the main screen is the most accessible place that serves as a link to other applications and widgets.
News from the launcher of the Nexus smartphone.
One of the first changes that most attracts attention is the
disappearance of the button to open the application drawer
. In most Android devices this button is represented by a circle with points inside it.
In the new launcher of the Nexus, this drawer will open by sliding from bottom to top in the main screen.
You can also see how the bottom of the application drawer has changed to a white color.
Another big news is the
replacement of the Google search bar with an icon that includes the Google logo with the "G"
. This icon or button is located in the upper left corner and if we click on it, the keyboard will be displayed in order to search.
If we slide our finger to the right on the main screen, Google Now will open.
It is clear that it is not about big changes, but these small details are the ones that make the difference. Remember that the main screen is the most used, because as soon as we unlock our device, it is the first thing that is shown to us, so improving its accessibility is always a good thing.
On the other hand, with these changes it is more than evident that Google wants Android users to depend on their services, thus ensuring that these will be present in the rest of Android devices.
