Android Marshmallow

By Sagar,



"Marshmallow"( Android 6.0) is the latest version of the Android mobile OS. First unveiled in May 2015 at Google I/O.
Marshmallow primarily focuses on improving the overall user experience of Lollipop, introducing a new permissions architecture, APIs for contextual assistants, a new power management system that reduces background activity when device is not being physically handled, native support for fingerprint recognition and USB Type-C connectors, the ability to migrate data and the applications to a microSD card and use it as primary storage, as well as other internal changes.

Some Features of Android Marsh Mallow:

1.USB Type-C

USB Type-C represents the holy grail of connections. It is fast, can be used any way up – and it is going to be the most commonly used connection in the next few years. What is more, it also allows for much faster charging than conventional cables, it can fully charge a Nexus 6P in around two hours.

 

2. Now on Tap

One of the biggest changes to Android Marshmallow comes in the form of Google Now. Although it may look like previous version, Google Now is now pre-baked into every area of the OS, and it’s cleverer than ever. At present Google’s   focus is now on “context”, and that means the digital assistant will be better at understanding where you are, and what you will need to know as  result.

3. Adopted Storage

Most Android phones allow you to insert some form of memory card, but previous versions of Android were always treated it as separate entity. While that’s great if you want to swap memory cards around it can be annoying if you want, to use the memory card as a permanent storage solution. That’s where Adopted Storage comes. Rather than treating the memory card as a separate storage space, Marshmallow can treat like the rest of memory on your phone.

4. The clock has gone all stylish

Lollipop upped Android’s style game, and Marshmallow tries to take that step further with a redesigned clock. It’s little more than a font shuffle, but it do gives the new software a bit of a different, sharper visual personality.
 

 5. Custom Google tabs

Google Chrome is one of the best mobile browsers, and Marshmallow makes it easier for developers to integrate into their own, third-party apps. That means you do not have to switch applications when you need to browse the web, and it also means that when you are let loose on Google's browsers, all your passwords and logins are stored and ready to go.

6. Clear permissions system

Although not one of the most glitzy features, Marshmallow’s app permissions overhaul will have an immediate effect on how you use your mobile phone. Previous versions of Android i.e. Lollipop forced the user to configure app settings at the point of install, making downloading apps an overly complex, drawn-out process.
