Android Oreo features

We fully expect this list of features to grow as Google proceeds with Oreo updates in the next year. As such, we'll be adding them below. Here's what we know so far. Picture in Picture (PiP) mode The split-window mode introduced in Android Nougat is a helpful means for multitasking with most apps, but not all apps.  Picture in picture (PiP) takes this a step further by allowing you to miniaturize a YouTube video feed or a video call on Hangouts or Duo into the corner of your screen so you can carry on with other tasks simultaneously.

If you own a non-Google flagship device like the Galaxy S8 or OnePlus 5, you'll likely have to wait a few months before Android Oreo hits your own phone. But if you're curious about this new version, or if you have a Nexus or Pixel to test it out on, let's go ahead and take a look at all of the new features and functionality in Android 8.0.
