On Wednesday, Google pushed Developer Preview 2 for Android N, the latest Android release, expected to be announced at I/O 2016, to their developer platform.
There are a few new things that are worthwhile to talk about, amongst the inevitable bug fixes and security updates.
One of those is called Vulkan. It is a new 3D rendering API, which is aimed at providing low overhead GPU control to developers. It allows for nicer graphics, especially in games, and with the style of Material Design, will probably bring faster speeds of which you didn’t think was possible. This is kind of like Metal from Apple.
Another feature is some new launcher shortcuts. Apps can define shortcuts which the user can make available in the launcher to perform some quick launching actions quicker. These shortcuts come in the form of jump lists to thing such as recently sent messages to people, or to go to a specific section of an app, like your home feed on Instagram.
Unicode Emoji 9 support also comes to this update, with a few new emojis, and a new design for people emojis. These emojis were redesigned by Google to “look more human”. They also seem to have skin tones that were updated as well.
Other than that most of the other things were just things that were expected to come out of a developer preview update.

The Taliban app was first found last Friday by a website specifically designed to track jihadists online. The app, used to spread propaganda and recruit fighters, was immediately removed. It let people get up to date with the Taliban news. They would publish videos and stories written in Pashto to get the news updates. Although the app was taken down, they are coming up with new ways to communicate to others.

Last year, Blackberry made a name for themselves in the Android world with the Blackberry Priv. The device has the same type of curved AMOLED display used in the Galaxy S6 Edge, but also has a slide out QWERTY keyboard.
Last week, Blackberry released a quarterly guidance report, which showed them failing to meet sales expectations, and confirmed the suspicions that the Priv failed to make a name for itself in the market. They showed a total sale of 600,000 devices, whereas the forecasted sales at this point was to be around 850,000 units.
CEO John Chen sat down with The National on the 7th. He said some things about the plan for 2016: Two mid-range devices will come out, one with a physical keyboard and the other with a touchscreen. There were no specifics like specs or release dates.

The Galaxy S7 was announced last month, and as we all know, it has regained its water and dust resistance. Because of that, we were a little fearful for the release of an S7 Active. It seems that it may be a thing.
In a recent update to the “Samsung Level” app, Samsung themselves accidentally confirmed it in the changelog section. They stated that among all of their other phones, the “Galaxy S7 Active” appeared for a bit of time. That leaves the question… What will this phone have that the S7 doesn’t?
They both will be waterproof and dust proof… It is expected that this phone may have a longer duration of submersion, and a bit more tolerance to dust. And as always the Actives, a slightly beefier battery and a more rugged design.
We will have to see.
