The premature disclosure of Android N was further beefed-up recently by the introduction of new features in Google's latest mobile operating system.

According to The Verge, Android N has a fair share of latest features that can presently put it some distance against its mobile OS platform rival Apple iOS. Four of these featured features have not yet been established by the iOS platform but will be a part of Google's fall release.

Split-screen capability

Android N takes it up a notch with split-screen capabilities for both phones and tablets - a feature which has been limited in Samsung and LG handsets, however Google's mobile OS platform gives you native split-screen viewing pleasure. Apple also as split-screen capabilities but only limited to the iPad for iOS 9. The feature can be accessed by holding down the task-switching button.

Instant Apps:

Instant Apps which has not yet been countered by an iOS version gives you a chance to access certain apps without having to download and install said apps. This is especially useful for digital payment transactions, where you can pay with Android Pay instead of whatever system the app would have made you use. Currently, there isn't an equivalent on iOS.

Updated Doze:

Google's battery-saving feature, Doze, debuted on Android Marshmallow and snoozes background computing when your phone is not in use and stays totally still. But with N there's Doze on the Go, which does the same thing except it also works when your phone is in motion, like when it's inside your pocket sitting idle. With iOS, there is a low-power mode, but it doesn't work as automatically as Doze on the Go -- you have to toggle it on yourself.

Google Assistant:

The new Assistant software will let you take part in a more natural back-and-forth dialogue with the Android device than you can with Apple's Siri, in order to get things done, like research a restaurant and make a reservation through OpenTable.
