**HTC's Latest Device: A Review of its Features**
The latest device from HTC has been making headlines with its unique design and features. One of the most noticeable aspects of this device is its chamfer, which extends around the entire device moving to the front. While we're not seeing anything too surprising, this feature does add a touch of elegance to the device's design.
**Display and Camera**
The device boasts a supposed 5.2-inch AMOLED display with an earpiece above a big front camera sensor to the right. The camera is positioned in a way that it dominates the front of the device. Below the display sits a Samsung-like style physical home button, flanked by capacitive back and recent app buttons. It's worth noting that HTC has switched back to capacitive buttons from an on-screen key, which may not be well-received by hardcore Android fans.
**Android Beta Program**
For the hardest-core Android fans out there, HTC offers the Android beta program, which allows users to receive over-the-air updates for every preview release. This program eliminates the friction of having to flash each image separately and makes it easier for developers to test various preview releases. However, Google warns that the beta program is meant for "adventurous developers" who are willing to deal with bugs and other issues, including potentially unusable device issues.
**Android n: What's New**
The Android n update brings a plethora of changes, many of which will require a separate show to discuss. One feature that's been improved is the recent app menus, which now have larger cards in the recent app stack. Tapping the square button will bring up a cascade of your most recently used apps, while double-tapping it will quickly switch between your current app and the one you last used.
**Recent App List Improvements**
The recent app list has also been improved with features such as larger card sizes, a countdown slider beneath the app bar that will expire if left untouched, and long pressing the recent app buttons which will launch a multi-window mode. This feature is sure to bring some excitement to Android users who are eager for more intuitive and user-friendly interfaces.
**App Drawer: The Future of Android?**
There's been much debate about whether or not Android n will have an app drawer, one of Android's most iconic features. Prior to the Mobile World Congress 2016, it was reported that Android n would ditch the app drawer. However, recent reports from LG and HTC suggest that the app drawer may still be around. Sony's Marshmallow concept also provides a classic and modern view with and without an app drawer, but it seems that the future of the app drawer is uncertain.
**Atlassian Collaboration Software**
The article takes a break from discussing Android n to talk about Atlassian collaboration software, which has been a recent topic of discussion among tech enthusiasts. This software allows teams to work and communicate better together, with features such as assigning tasks, managing projects, creating and sharing content, and bringing team members up to speed.
**Apology to App Developer Francisco**
Finally, the article takes a moment to apologize to app developer Francisco Frank, who was mistakenly stated to have an in-app purchase for his focus app that costs $30. It turns out that the free version of the app has in-app purchases ranging from over a buck to just under $13. This mistake serves as a reminder to be accurate and fair when discussing technology-related topics.
**Conclusion**
The HTC device is certainly a unique and exciting device, with features such as its chamfer design and improved recent app list functionality. However, the future of the app drawer remains uncertain, and users will have to wait and see how this feature evolves in the upcoming Android n update.

laira and it looks like HTC took the 1 m7's camera module and pasted it on the back of the 10 there's a slightly bigger flash to the right of the sensor as well according to previous rumors though the device will sport a 12 megap rear camera with laser autofocus as well as a 5 megap Ultra pixel shooter for the front as far as the design goes HTC doesn't seem to be staying too far away from past one flagships the HTC 10 appears to have a pretty sizable chamfer that extends around the entire device moving to the front we're not seeing anything too surprising a supposed 5.2 in AMOLED display with an earpiece above a big front camera sensor to the right down below the display sits a Samsung like style physical home button flanked by capacitive back and recent app buttons we're not entirely sure why HTC is switching back to capacitive buttons from an onscreen key but the decision probably won't be taken lightly by HDC hardcore fans well for the hardest core Android fans out there you'll be happy to know about Android's beta program the Android beta program will allow users who are interested in trying out the Android n preview to receive over-the-air updates for every preview release just like they would on any other update up until now users who wanted to test various preview releases had to flash each image separately the new beta eliminates this friction to be clear the Android program is meant for developers only in fact Google warned that the beta program is meant for quote adventurous developers and that it recommends testers to install the beta on a secondary device no daily drivers here people that means that should you take the plunge you should expect a fair share of bugs and other issues potentially including some that could render your device unusable but for those of you who do want to take that plunge all you have to do is go to google.com/ Android slba and enroll but what is Android n going to look like well there are a lot of changes that we expect far too many for me to talk about in today's single show well probably devote a whole other show just to Android n features but I did want to talk about one that many of you will find interesting the recent app menus in Android n has also been revised and improved with larger cards in the recent app stack as usual tapping the square button will bring up a Cascade of your most recently used apps but if you double tap the square button instead you'll quickly switch between your current APP and the one you last used while you're in the recent app list tapping the recent apps button again will cycle you through the most recently used apps one by one as opposed to swiping through the whole list and if you let the small countdown slider beneath the app bar expire the app will go into full screen long pressing the recent app buttons will launch a multi- window mode as you can see in the video here now there's been lots of concern from many of you about whether or not Android n will have an app drawer and there's been confusing reports some indications saying that it's gone and some indications that it will still be there and the news we have today is clear as mud prior to the Mobile World Congress 2016 we were told that the Android n would ditch the app drawer one of Android's most iconic features then during the show the evidence started piling up with the lg5 and the HTC 1x9
