Android N's Direct Boot feature improves boot speed and gives certain apps limited functionality

If your smartphone is encrypted and it all of a sudden reboots, you could be without certain core functions like text messaging and phone calls until the phone completely boots back up.

With Android N's Direct Boot feature, not only is booting the device faster, but you'll also get access to registered apps with limited functionality much quicker than without the feature.
