AT&T is rolling out Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow for Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.

The Android N operating system will still come several months away; however, there have been speculations circling around that this OS will support inclusion of styluses.

Significantly, the existing rumors circulating all about Android N has emerged from the company that ships a substantial amount of handsets in the world, Samsung. The Korean-based tech company brought to its developer page for a homegrown Look API. This page should furnish more details about the upcoming user interface in Android, and that more features will be disapproved once the Android N is released.

What seemed to be attractive about its features, according to Ecumenical News, is that Samsung will try to eliminate from the Look API include the major ones such as the SmartClip, WritingBuddy and AirButton, which are typically used on a Note 5. Furthermore, it works with an S Pen stylus on the handset, which left many asking why the company has to remove these features. Industry experts however conclude that Samsung had to eliminate them, as they were going to build a stock version of the Android N with no duplications.

As for the smaller Galaxy S6 Edge and S6 Edge Plus, the curved Edge devices from Samsung, the Edge Immersive mode will be eliminated upon the Android N's release. This is such appealing information from Android N, although there is no indication that Google will include these features in their software. As more features surrounding the Look API will be included, it should be confirmed once the Android N is released, International Business Times reported.

Android N may have had lots of speculations and rumors circulating around, especially about its features, but there is no word yet from Google on how it should handle it. However, it is expected that the name of the next Android OS will start with "N" just like when it had Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
