Vitals could be considered the most interesting novelty of Android O, since it consists of optimizing the performance, security and energy consumption of our device. The key piece here is Google Play Protect, which will automatically analyze and limit the consumption of applications in the background, and achieve better performance.
Vitals will also help with stability for our device and will decrease the charging time when you turn it on. In addition to new tools are also included for developers such as ‘Play Console Dashboard’ and ‘Android Studio Profilers’, which aim to optimize applications by displaying all the resources used in Android.

Smart Text Selection: Now when we select text in Android O, the menu will suggest actions according to the context of that text, i.e. if we select an address, it will suggest Maps open, if we choose a phone number, we will recommend making a call. A very interesting function that is based on the use of machine learning.
In addition to this, we also have a new programming language with ‘Kotlin’ and other improvements that were not announced in the presentation, but we will surely know with the passage of the days when developers start to analyze this new Android O.
