As leaked last week, Android's updated operating system has begun rolling out to users.

The first devices to receive Android 7.0 Nougat will be Google's Nexus 6, Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, as well as the Pixel C and Nexus 9 tablets and the Nexus Player set-top box.

The new OS will reportedly bring users improved battery life, while multitasking features and a bunch of new emoji are also beginning to appear on devices.

With extended battery typically one of the most anticipated features for users, Google's improvements should help you stay powered for longer.

For example, the handy Doze feature is receiving an upgrade. First introduced last year, the phone uses various hardware and software tricks to discern when the device is not being used and spends the downtime conserving extra power. Now, the feature has been improved so that Doze can still identify when your phone is idle when moving around in a bag or your pocket.

Battery aside, one of the biggest changes comes in the form of concurrent multi-tasking support. Vanilla Android is taking a page from Samsung's book and will now let you run two apps simultaneously in a new split-screen mode.

But what we're all really here for is the new emojis, which will likely drop on your updated Android before Apple's iOS 10 is launched.

With the rollout for non-Nexus devices dependent on carrier and device, though, some will have to be patient. Hopefully your upgrade arrives sooner as opposed to later.
