Google has unveiled its upcoming Android Operating System, called Android N.

Split-screen multitasking and improved notification controls are among the new features being added to the Android operating system (OS).

An early build of the new OS was released on Thursday for app developers to test. Google said it had released the beta software earlier than usual so that device manufacturers could get the finished version sooner.

At the moment, fewer than 3% of Android phones run the latest OS, Marshmallow
