Google I/O 2016

The Google IO 2016:-


This year is believed to notice the greatest Google IO ever....

Google released a lot of things and apps this year, including the new GOOGLE ASSISTANT, a messaging app 'allo', and  a video calling app 'Duo'. Google launched some accessories, including the all new 'google home', a small speaker-like accessory, which would act as an assistant at your home, it would work just like 'Google Now' does on your phone. Google also announced some new features of android N, Android wear 2.0

Google Assistant:-

The google launched a new speaker-like smart accessory, which would give answers to all the questions u ask, it listen you all the time, also, it is believed to be a competitor of, the amazon ECHO.
The device itself is a small cylinder with a rounded top and a speaker at the base, available in a number of different shells to match your decor.



Android N:-

Although the beta version of the Android N was released in march this year. But some new features and optimizations, were told in the Google IO 2016. These included more control over multitasking of apps by letting two apps work simultaneously on the same time. Some other features include the smart notifications,by letting apps, set the size of their notifications. Also a new feature is ' picture-in-picture' mode. Android N is also believed to be better for gaming, due to it's battery optimizations. Also a new API called the VULKAN, is released, which let's users directly access and control their GPU settings. Google asked the whole world for suggestions for Android N's name. But due to the large response of the people, the google named it to  "Android Nougat", as i already told u that Google always names an android as desert....

Use apps without downloading them:-

Google also told that, we could use apps without downloading them in Android N. This would take place by NFC (Near Field Communication). Google has named it Google Instant Apps. We will see a web version of the app.








Google's two new messaging apps:-

ALLO:-

It's believed to be a competitor of the Facebook's messenger app. It will be launched as a mobile app in later summer this year. Users will need to provide their number and will also have an option of connecting to their Google account later on. The is same as other common messaging apps, with some custom stickers,  and an option for resizing our messages(either shout or whisper). The app comes loaded with some private features like, the private notification option. Although the messages will encrypted, but thanks to the incognito mode, that provides us end-to-end encryption. A smart reply system has also been included in this app.The app will be available for both IOS and Android

DUO:-


 To fulfil the need of a video-calling app, Google has formed another app, called 'DUO'. It is launched as a competitor of Apple's Facetime app. The app is really simple to use. Once you open the app, you see a front camera video of yourself, And then you just need to select the person you want to call. The app has a new feature name 'KNOCK-KNOCK', That would let the person you call, to see a video of you even before he/she picks the call. Unlike the Facetime app, the app can be used on mobile only, as it is tied to your mobile number. So Apple has a big advantage here.


The All New Google Assistant:-

Google also launched a new Assistant, which would answer our questions. It seems more as a chat app than the search based Google Now. We could even call on the assistant in a conversation and our friends could reply to what it asks or says. The motive of Google was to spread the computing beyond devices letting users to interact more comfortably. We can do reservations through this assistant by letting it know the number of people we are going along. Also, it provides some quick responses for a message, emoji, and even the suggestions for a specific photo are surprisingly to-the-point.


At Last, The new Daydream:-

Daydream is a new VR platform, built into the new Android N. The Home screen would feature an entire 360 Degree Ecosystem. It is compatible with the new phones having new types of screens and sensors. The new daydream is much better than the Google Cardboard.
