The team behind the well-known Paranoid Android open-source operating system for Android smartphones and tablets announced the last update based on the Android Nougat series.

Paranoid Android 7.3.1 was released on the last day of October 2017, and it appears to be the final release for the series, the last to be based on Google's Android 7 "Nougat" mobile operating system. Therefore, it introduces a bunch of important improvements, especially to the Paranoid Camera, but also patches security issues.
