Google recently announced Android M and just few days back Google named Android M as Marshmallow . Now with M coming into frame Android is now more sweeter and here I am going to present you Top 5 features of Android M.
1.App Permissions.
The App Permissions got a major overhaul and Google will allow users to decide which permissions they want to allow or revoke, based on when those particular functions are used. Unlike the current implementation, where users have to agree to all app permissions on first install and also for updates, in Android M, users will get notifications asking for permissions only when they are using a particular function in an app. Google has identified eight parameters including location, camera, contacts and so on, to help you give permissions for these. So for instance, in WhatsApp if you want to send a voice message, the App Permissions tab will pop up, asking you for permission to use the microphone. You can also revoke the permission later if you so wish. Also, app updates will also not ask you for permissions off the bat, unless you are using a feature which needs you to grant that particular app some permission.
2. Android Pay.
This feature will let you make your payments using near-field communication (NFC) and host card emulation techniques for tap-to-pay services. You just need to unlock your phone, keep it near an NFC terminal and your payment is done, without opening any app. Google says when you add in your card details, a virtual account number is created to make your payments. Your actual card number is not shared with the store during the transaction. According to Google, Android Pay will be pre-installed on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile devices and will be accepted in around 700,000 stores in the US which accept contact-less payment. Android Pay will replace the Google Wallet app. Android Pay can also be used to make in-app payments provided developers integrate Pay into their apps.
3. Doze.
Battery life is the main question when we buy the new smartphone and not many phones can survive a whole day and with Doze aims to solve or minimize the wastage of battery by reducing the power consumed by the device when in idle state. Google claims that with using Doze they have achieved a battery life that`s twice as long on the Nexus 9. This is done by minimizing the background processes when not in use. This is the most Important feature in M and will be very useful to all users.
4. Fingerprint Sensor Support.
Android M will standardize the fingerprint sensor support and it is working with various phones to make a standard API to go with their sensors. You can use your fingerprint to authorize an Android Pay transaction, unlock your device or make Play Store purchases.
5. Google Now on Tap.
You The biggest change with Android M is the new Google Now on Tap which will ensure that users don`t have to leave an app they want to search for something on Google Now. For instance if someone messages you about a new restaurant, You can then just ask Google Now for details without leaving the app you are currently using. Google Now will then locate all the details about the app.
