Google rolls outs Android 8.0 Oreo: Here are the top features

 The next version of Google's mobile operating system 'Android Oreo' that has been rolled out in the US is packed with never-before-seen features and improvements in its various tools.

'Android Oreo' features a new picture-in-picture mode, new notification dots to the Operating System (OS) and improvements to Bluetooth audio playback, Google's Android website posted in a blog on Tuesday.

Recently-launched premium smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S8, S8+ and HTC U11 are expected to see the software updates before the end of this year.

Around 85 per cent of Android devices used, according to the latest numbers, have not upgraded to Android Nougat that was released last year.

The new Android 8.0 OS was released in conjunction with the 2017 solar eclipse.

The update is currently undergoing carrier testing for Pixel phones and the Nexus 5X and 6P.

The new OS is expected to be two times faster than 'Nougat' and also helps minimise background activity in the apps that are used less.

'Android Oreo' lets a user see two apps at once and makes multitasking convenient.

For example, if you are watching a video on YouTube and have to respond to an email simultaneously, all you need to do is press the home button and that will shrink the video tab to a corner while you write a response.
