The first official Android N wallpaper has arrived, you can download it here

In case you missed the memo, the first Android N Developer Preview has arrived. This came as a pleasant surprise as we were not expecting it to get introduced that early - after all, Google's I/O dev-centric conference is scheduled for May 18. Still, it's here, and we're certainly not complaining, for it's giving us a taste of what's to come.

Apart from introducing lots of new features, the first preview also introduced a new wallpaper. It's laid-back and calming, featuring a sunset sky painted in pastel purple and lavender gradient hues. There's not much going on there — we can only discern the silhouettes of a few mountain slopes, as well as several dim constellations visible.

Check it out below. Warning: this is a 2880×2560-pixel image, weighing in at 1.47MB.

Meh wallpaper IMO I haven't seen much about the new features So here's a list of new features *Java 8 *Project Svelte *Improved Doze *Key Attestation *Newer JIT/AOT compilation (Jack & Jill) *Data Saver *Accessibility enhancements - night mode (can make dark/black, or change color temp), RGB control, custom DPI *Notification enhancements - direct reply, improved quick toggles customisation and quick toggle API for third party apps, bundled notifications *OpenGL ES 3.2 API support (Vulkan is already supported at OS level in 6.0, but hardware vendors need to update their drivers)

Marshmallow already supports Vulkan You just need new drivers from your OEM and/or hardware vendor

This build is very promising. Looks like a huge leap from lollipop

Interesting, I have this image on my Nexus, but the thumbnail is of the stock marshmallow background. Minor oddity. LOL.
