Battery performance is always the weakness in Android Devices. Android applications takes most of the juice from battery pretty fast as they run majorly in the background. Now in Oreo, the battery life will be extra-ordinary because a new feature has been added named 'doze' which will be a mode works on keeping your running applications in check until you deactivate this mode.

Now, Google revealed that Oreo will deliver a great degree of performance over its predecessors. Even the Boot-up time will be twice faster than previous versions.

It might be time to ditch the iPhone...
Ditch your wife too ahahahhaha. kidding

Ok ditch your future wife lulz.
Will Smartphone running on Android 5.0 or 6.0 version be able to be upgraded to OREO (8.0 version)? Every newly launched device, product or item has its own pros & cons, so does this OREO, I believe.
The update is aptly named since Google has their hands in everyone's cookie jar. Google is what I call a "necessary" evil. Thanks for sharing this information and for always being a good steward of the Steemit community!
hasn't Doze been there all these while ? I remember seeing that option on my nexus 6p when they updated to Marshmallow & Nugget . Looking forward for the new updates and hope they give me back my Miracast option !!!!! which they took out in Nugget or was it Marshmaow
wow
Thanks for the informative summary! Looking forward to seeing Oreo in action. Seems like Dot will be something I will take for granted in the times to come, and look back to the era before "Dot" as the stone age. :P Hate having to manage notifications all the time. Guess that's the OCD talking. =)
Too bad Samsung will never get the update... Or a year late. Never going to buy a Samsung phone again, that's for sure! Maybe a pixel next time?
