Google's latest version of Android is called 'Oreo' – here are the 11 best features (GOOG, GOOGL)

Google announced the new version of its Android mobile operating system on Monday called Android "Oreo."

The company made the announcement while the solar eclipse was in full swing in the US, presumably so that the giant dark "O" in the sky caused by the eclipse would represent Android "O."

Android Oreo, or Android 8.0, is an incremental update for the Android OS, meaning that the overall design of the current Android 7.1 Nougat OS is largely the same. Google has, however, added a few noteworthy new features.

Check out the best new features in Android Oreo.
