After Google officially made the Pixel C tablet available for sale, the team behind the new device took to Reddit to answer some questions about the device. Over the course of the Q&A session, the team dropped somewhat of a bombshell, talking about split screen functionality for Android devices and that it would be coming in Android N. Obviously Google is quite okay with this information dropping, but it’s rare to see Google staff referring directly to an unreleased software build – the team didn’t want to reveal any more than they were allowed to, though.
If we use previous releases as a yardstick, we should expect Android N to be released sometime in October – it’s also possible that Google would want to tease the feature at Google I/O 2016 now that we know about it. What’s interesting to consider is that this seems like a feature specifically made for larger display devices, which could signal that Google is going to consider tablet-only features again; of course, it’s all conjecture at this point so we’ll just have to wait this one out patiently.
What do you think about split screen functionality on Android N? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
