Android 7: what we want to see

Android N is due in 2016, and here's what we want

Every year we see a new version of Android, and 2016 should be no exception. Google is sure to announce Android N at some point in the next year and it'll likely land on a variety of phones and tablets before the year is out (but probably not on as many as we'd like).
Even Google spokespeople have talked about the next version of the Android software, so it's certain to be coming soon.
What isn't clear about Android 7.0 is what it's actually going to do for the world's most used mobile operating system. It might not even be version 7.0 of the software - let's not forget Google's dabble with the number four with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.1/2/3 Jelly Bean and 4.4 KitKat.
It has reverted back to type with 5.0 Lollipop and 6.0 Marshmallow, but Google always has the option to chuck in a curve ball once in a while.
So far we don't really know all that much about Android 7.0 with rumors currently thin on the ground, but we've got some ideas of our own which we'd love Google to pick up and add in to the next version of Android.
Let us know what you'd like to see in the Android N update in the comments section below.

• What will Google name Android N?

Cut to the chase

• What is it? The next version of Google's mobile OS, Android 7.
• When is it out? Likely reveal in May, but won't launch until October*
• What will it cost? Free

*when - and if - you get it depends on what phone/tablet you own though

Android 7 release date

There's no official word on when Android N will be launching, so all we have is Google's previous software activities.
Google officially announced Android Marshmallow at Google IO 2015 at the end of May last year – and going by the search giant's track record the sensible money is on Android 7.0 showing up at Google IO 2016.
