"Hinted" whether Samsung's stylus support in Android N

14:21, 22-02-2016

It is possible that among the native Android N functions will be a new feature - support for the stylus. On page Samsung for developers in the story about her Look API it is noted that most of the features Look API S Pen «come into conflict with the Android N». For a new operating system name can be selected in the online survey. And then the question arises: for some reason, Samsung is going to abandon the key software features for your stylus? Could it be that they will be supported by the Android operating system "out of the box"?

In more detail, the topic was discussed in an illustrated note Chris Carlone (Kris Carlon) «Samsung hints at stock stylus support in Android N», published a resource Android Authority. In the Look API by Samsung page lists three specifically designed for S Pen functions that are "in conflict with Android N»: AirButton, SmartClip and WritingBuddy. And another, the fourth - Edge Immersive Mode - designed for curved display. The fact that existing functions are in conflict with the upcoming release of Android, is weighty enough presumptive evidence that a pure Android will support stylus.

It should be noted that rumors of such support for some time to circulate. Samsung - the only exception of the NVIDIA, a company to carry out serious work on the stylus, making the job all the more convenient and more comfortable with it. Therefore, these assumptions seems unlikely.

Of course, Samsung delivers more smartphones and tablets running Android, than any other company-vendor devices. Even so, the addition of a pure Android features exclusively for only one company Samsung does not seem necessary.

From improved stylus support will benefit not only the phone line of Galaxy Note, but also tablets Samsung Galaxy Note.

Google is going to improve support for tablet OS Android N, and the stylus support the operating system will be a significant step in this direction. In fact, to bring the popular functions previously provided by third-party vendors and developers of the operating system, there is nothing new.

Topics, important notifications, multi-window mode, fingerprint recognition, power saving mode, a notification on the lock screen - all of it first appeared in the pure Android only after having already received a certain distribution.

Earlier it was reported that the Samsung browser now supports ad-blocking extensions, and considered the topic of whether or not to stick out from the body of the future flagship smartphone Galaxy S7 of his camera.

We should not forget that Chris only assumptions were outlined Carlone made on the basis of a few words to describe Look API.

Whether users will appreciate support in Android N stylus at the operating system level, rather than as additional software solutions from vendors and third-party devices?
