Google will always reveal the name of the Android OS update only during the stable launch which will take place in the month of August.With carrier getting chance to hide network signal in next iteration of Android and some new software addition to make the OS faster and better when compared to the predecessor. We are still not sure about the new features of the next version of Android with Android 9.0 or Android P.We have to wait for the first Android P preview OS update to hit devices soon by a week or two.

Probably we missed something innovative which was not much talked about with the new smartwatch which comes with a built-in projector which displays the messages or anything on your hand.The new innovation is done by well-known Home appliance brand Haier.
The new Haier Asu does the new way of using a smartwatch which other’s can’t do it as we can run anything on the smartwatch as it projects directly on your hands.Sadly, this projector is made to project the display on your hands and not on the wall.

Probably the new Haier Asu also comes with con as per the images showed we can see the smartwatch is running the timer app which has been paused on the smartwatch but on the projector the app is still running so probably we may face some time lag and might be fixed via software update.
