Time to move on to Marshmallow
Google recently announced android Marshmallow at its annual I/O expo that place in US and since then, a number of beta versions have been released. Finally, a final build would be coming up in the new Nexus devices 6P and Nexus 5X. Android Marshmallow would fix many of the bugs from the lollipop 5.0, the most notable one is the security and the power management.Here are the notable features that would be in the latest Android Marshmallow
- App Permissions
Google has officially confirmed that users can reject or approve app permissions from individual apps and the individual functions within the app. While you want to install an app from the Play Store, you wont be hit with a bunch of permissions to which you are forced to agree(else you cannot install the app).You can install the app and when you want to use a feature of an app, you would be asked for the permission(you can grant permission only at that particular instance).Later, you can revoke that permission
- Fingerprint Scanner
Google has gone standardized to include a built-in support for fingerprint authentication.This means an extra security for your phone wherein your app can be accessed only on your authorization.
- Battery Optimisations
We have faced serious battery issues on devices running on Android Lollipop. This issue has been taken into account by developers. Now, Android M will use onboard sensors to detect when the phone has been unused for a while and would go into specially made low-power sleep mode.This would close all the unwanted background processes that eats up the battery.
USB Type-C has also been given with rapid charging.
- Android RAM Manager
The android RAM manager would now be shipped with Android M which would monitor your phone's RAM and shows more detailed background of the apps.
- Adaptive Storage
This feature allows the system to an external storage devices(a microSD card) and treat it as an onboard storage.
- Google Now
A lot of attention has been given to the Google Now feature to make it smarter, faster, more responsive and accurate. The new Google Now feature understands the context like never before(Ex:If you have a route setup in the Google Maps and you just say "How far is it?", Google Now would understand that you need the distance of the current destination) meaning that you need not have to be specific from now on. .
