Google's Android O operating system could be released next week – here are 11 of the best new features (GOOG, GOOGL)
Google could release the latest version of the Android operating system, called Android O, within the next few weeks.
Android O could be released as soon as the week of August 21, "most likely on the 21st itself," prolific gadgets leaker Evan Blass tweeted on Monday.
Android O will be the eighth generation of the Android operating system, and it'll be an incremental update with performance, feature, and design improvements rather than a major overhaul.
It's likely that Google's own Pixel smartphones will be the first recipients of Android O if it is actually released on August 21. Indeed, Google's own devices usually get the updates first, and third-party phones get them much later.
Check out some of the best updates coming to your smartphone with Android O:

Mysteriously, Google outright omitted the option to add the battery life percentage in the stock Android operating system in the past. Now, however, it looks like its making its way into Android O.
2. Your phone will boot up faster, and Android O will be optimized for better overall app performance and battery life.
3. Notification badges on app icons indicate that you have a notification from an app. In Android O, you can press and hold the app icon to show you the notification.
