Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Google launches newest version of its mobile OS. ANDROID 6.0 MARSHMALLOW provides user several new features that makes android phones more useful, longer lasting and smarter.
Why one can't ignore features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow..!!
Now on Tap : Now on Tap is a new feature that pulls up extra information in top of whatever you're doing, based on what's on your screen.
It's essentially an "easy button" for your phone and here's how it works. Press and hold the home button on your phone -- Google says it should work on a variety of phones with both onscreen and physical home buttons. You'll see a short animation and then a small card will appear, giving you information and app shortcuts.
What's on the cards depends on what's on your screen. For example, if you're texting a friend about where to meet for dinner, mention a restaurant name in your message and then activate Now on Tap, the card will give you options to call the restaurant, find it on Google Maps. Another part of Now on Tap is that you can run a voice search and Google will use the context of what's on the screen to give you results. Google Now on Tap aims to do two things; give you quick answers and help you figure out the next step. It's well designed to appear when you need it and then disappear so you can go back to what you were doing.
Android Pay : Google's new mobile payments system. Android Pay will let you make purchases at participating stores using your phone's NFC chip. As with Apple Pay, you can hold your phone to the credit card terminal and follow the onscreen prompts to pay. Android Pay also lets you make purchases on your phone, such as paying for an in-app purchase. Google Wallet, Google's original mobile payment app, is changing to handle only peer-to-peer payments that you make between friends, family and others.
Battery Life : Android 6.0 Marshmallow also includes Doze, an automatic energy-saving feature that Google says will use less power than the current standby mode. Basically, if you walk away from your device for a lengthy period of time, it hibernates to save your battery. You'll still hear important alarms and incoming messages, but with as little as half the power consumption of the earlier version.
App Permissions : In the past, installing an app meant you agreed to let it use whatever parts of your phone it asked to use. Now apps will ask for access to parts of your phone or Google account when they need it, and you can approve those requests or not.
For instance, a messaging app might not ask for permission to use your camera until you try to take and send a photo.This adds additional security to Android and gives you more control over how apps can use your phone's resources.
