The buds are slightly convex and have a smooth finish with the images of some leaves on them (we have heard more than one person wonder if it was ‘weed’), and the cable connecting them has a red and blue color pattern, giving these buds a very distinct appearance....

1. Quick App Switch Along with Multi-Window support, Nougat also adds one of my favorite multitasking features from custom ROMs, a quick app switch shortcut.
