Pixel Launcher
That the Google Pixel and Pixel XL is the first smartphone with Android 7.1 would be, was already fairly sure. Now it seems that the two devices, however not with stock Android, but with a few adjustments to the interface launched. The company is introducing next month a new 'Pixel Launcher on both smartphones back to find will be, so says the usually reliable Android Police.
It would be a remarkable move by Google. In the past, the company introduced each year, one or multiple Nexus smartphones on an almost unadapted version of Android ran. 'Stock Android' as Google calls it, is the same version of the operating system that the company disclose it to other manufacturers. That manufacturers create for yourself all sorts of adjustments, but the Nexus series was the perfect place to get Android as Google intended, as was the thought.
This year would be to Google other plans. The Nexus line is likely to be after seven years be deleted. Where these devices, a collaboration between Google and different manufacturers, would Google this year the strings more firmly in the hands want to take. The Google Pixel and Pixel XL be manufactured by HTC, but would largely by Google developed. Goes so may also have a custom version of Android.
Round icons in Pixel Launcher
The Pixel Launcher would be about some of the subtle, but significant changes. Thus, all of the icons for apps are now automatically around shown. In some apps, such as Gmail, it means that the same icon on a white background. In other apps, such as Google Maps, the existing design modified to get around.
Also, the Pixel Launcher-support for dynamic icons. That is, for example, to see the icon for Google Calendar. At this time, is that icon always includes the number '31', but later that may be adjusted to the current date. Thus, you would be automatically '21'. It is unknown whether these dynamic icons for other apps can be used.
How to Google round icons exactly, it is still not entirely clear. It is possible that the Pixel Launcher by default, even the normal use of images, and the round variants only in a special mode is displayed. Moreover, it is still the question of how the new design works for existing icons from other developers. May be this standard of a white background with, even though it is still but the question is whether this for all the apps success.
The Google Pixel, Pixel XL and probably also the Pixel Launcher be on October 4, was officially presented.
