Just after launching the latest version of the Operating system Android v8.0 Oreo, the Mountain View company Google is now working for the next version and it is to be v8.1 . The relevant string shows that Android 8.1 will be accompanied by a bump in the SDK version, which is a sign that Android 8.1 includes enough changes to the API set to warrant a new SDK number.

The Android SDK (software development kit) is the collection of APIs (application programming interfaces) that lets developers create apps that plug into the OS’ features. It looks like at least some Google devs are already working with the unreleased SDK version 27.
The teardown also suggests at an enhanced version of Google lens with a new icon pack. Visual search feature in Google lens may also be on the cards which will most probably be making it’s mark on the Pixel 2.
So Android v8.1 is still in very nascent stage that we can hardly depict it now. Let’s see what has Google got for us in the pockets.
