Experts, however, noticed that the new Android N doesn't come with an app drawer. According to Ubergizmo, Google is not the only one that removed their app drawer. Samsung and LG both did the same thing with their phones.
As reported by Thai Visa, as an open source, smartphone manufacturers are free to change and tweak the looks of the OS any way they see fit. They also noted that a number of smartphone manufacturers like Huawei ad Xiaomi are dropping off the app drawers on their phones.
Enthusiasts pointed out though that that the navigation drawer is not the main reason why the Android N is making headlines. Unique features like Split Screen and Multiwindow with an improved tablet and stylus support are worth noting with the new system.
