Android N First Impressions

Read more at:
Now that Android 6.0 Marshmallow is running on 2.3% of devices, it's time for us to start talking about the next version of Android - Android "N". Marshmallow was released in October 2015, but the Developer Preview of that version (Android "M") was first unveiled in May 2015 at the Google I/O conference. Just as before, we don't know what Android "N" will be called when it's released, but in the meantime we've got our first taste of Google's newest mobile OS.
Initial thoughts & how to go back to Marshmallow
This is very much a developer preview and isn't meant to be used on your everyday phone. Most of the changes are iterative, but welcome. The new "Doze on the go" improvements sound interesting and promising, but will take some time for us to determine whether or not they live up to the promises.
Potential privacy concerns aside, we really like the system-wide data saver feature. Also, the inclusion of a new "Emergency Information" screen is a wonderful application of technology which has the potential of saving lives. Split-screen is going to take a little while to get used to, and we can see this working out better on the Nexus 6 and 6P, as well as Google's tablets than on smaller-screened devices.
It's worth mentioning that this is a developer preview. Features that are included in this build may be changed or even removed before Android N is released to the public - so don't get your heart too set on anything.
When you're ready to jump back to Android Marshmallow, simply download the Marshmallow factory image (available here), and follow the instructions at developers.google.com to flash it back onto your device. (If you opted for the OTA method, you'll need to leave the beta before you do this, otherwise you may end up with the developer preview automatically re-flashed OTA).
