Android M- A Glimpse into Its Promising New Features

As it goes with all Android updates, this one’s sweet too – The Android Version 6.0 Marshmallow is here amidst much fanfare and hoopla. Google has outdone itself with what it describes as “spot-on answers, fast and smartest shortcuts”. This news coming closely in the heels of the Material Design SDK, jointly welcomes a new era in mobility solutions which opens a whole new vista of digitization on the mobile platform.

The prominent features:

Google declared six major features that users should look forward in Android M –

App permissions:

With Android M, app permissions are now entirely in the users hands and they can accept or deny individual permissions. Permissions will be asked at the time when the app is used the first time and not at the time of installation. The user will have greater control on what information the apps may access, and permission grants can be modified on Settings.

Smarter battery:

The new function Doze improves device standby time so that you do not run out of charge at an inconvenient time. Using the device motion detectors, Android will identify times when the device hasn’t been interacted with and reduce background processes. Android M supports USB Type-C , providing faster charging and allows other devices to be charged with their phone.

Fingerprint Scanner:

You can have your won min-biometric scanner to unlock your device with fingerprint scanners on phones running on Android 6.0. The scanner can be used to unlock the device, shopping in stores and to make payments for app on play Store. With full support from Android, it won’t be too long before devices with fingerprint scanner come into the market.
