- Android 16 prepares a new cloud compilation function
- Download some cloud application installation tasks
- The slower phones could see the greatest speed improvements
It seems that there are never enough hours in the day, but it is possible that he can claim a few minutes of his time when Android 16 will be launched later this year, if a recently discovered feature reaches the final version of the mobile operating system.
The Android Authority team has been digging in the latest code updates for Android 16, which is currently in beta, and there are signs of a characteristic called cloud compilation that could accelerate application facilities.
The compilation of the cloud is a bit technical, but essentially discharges part of the installation of cloud work applications, as the name implies. In faster flagship phones, there is practically no speed benefit, but there may be older phones or budget telephones.
If you want the finest details, the cloud compilation avoids a local tool called Dex2OAT, which handles the code of application code known as application artifacts. In phones with storage or slower processors, this can take some time, especially for larger applications and games.
This is what is coming
As Android Authority pointed out, the characteristic is not yet in use, although it should be soon for the beta testers. It also seems likely to be included in the final version of Android 16, although it can be a subscription function for users.
We know that Google wants to obtain Android 16 at the beginning of the year that Android 15, so that he is ready to start when Pixel 10 phones appear. According to rumors, Android 16 will make his official debut on Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
And thanks to the months of beta tests that Android 16 has already passed, we know some of the changes that are on their way, including improvements in notification alerts, health data and safety data updates.
We should see better privacy controls and a new audio exchange function also (fed by Bluetooth aircase). We also like the sound of the settings that are apparently on their way to help you unlock your phone faster.
