Watch Android team members talk about their favorite features.
Android manages applications a little differently than you’re used to.
Applications in the background are kept in memory but are “hibernated” so they don’t continue to use CPU or grab additional memory.
When the device becomes low on memory, Android “deep-freezes” the most background application, storing its memory in cache, and closes it. When you reopen this application, it reinjects the current memory state into memory so you can pick up where you left off.
