If you happen to own a Nexus 6P, 5X, 6, and 9, or you happen to own a Pixel C, you are in luck.
Today, Google released the developer version of Android N. You can download if you are a developer via their developer website. This is actually a surprise, because Google usually releases these previews during their I/O keynote, but that is not coming for another few months.
Some new features that developers are able to play around with (and make their apps compatible with) are some new native split screen technology. They also have a new notification system that they can take advantage of, as well as quick replies from the notifications.
Of course, with all of the updates, they will have performance improvements in this version, and this time were are expecting to see some new battery saving features.
For most people, the [soon to be released] beta program will be the easiest method. This method will install this version like any over the air (OTA) update. For those of you who like to use a computer to flash your phone, that is already up and available for download.
