Android N
Say goodbye to Marshmallow, the torch has been passed to Android N, featuring quick setting buttons, loads of emojis, and the most anticipated function that never fully got to Android until now… split-screens! Not only can you multitask with the Nth itineration of new smart OS, you also get more control over your notifications, GPU, 3D graphics, and much more.

Google Home
Google Home is the search giant’s take on Amazon Echo’s home-invading strategy. These are central smart home devices that work with other connected devices to let you automate your home appliances and even schedule tasks like the time your coffee-maker. Furthermore, like the Echo’s Alexa, Google Home comes with now revolutionized Google Assistant with voice-based commands and chit chat. It is going to be a complete package for home management.
