5. Android Marshmallow is futureproofed with built-in USB Type-C support,
so as long as your smartphone has the connection, Marshmallow can
take advantage of it.
6. Android Marshmallow comes in the form of Google Now. Although it
may look the same as before, Google Now is now pre-baked into every
area of the OS, and it’s cleverer than ever.
7. Much like Apple Pay, Android Pay allows users to store credit and debit
card information on their smartphones, and then wirelessly pay for
goods and services quickly and securely.
8. With the System UI Tuner, users can now add their battery percentage
to the system tray, and choose which other things they want to be
displayed there. The result? Your Android phone will only show the
information you want to see.
9. The new OS presents things by permissions rather than apps, so you can
quickly see what apps are using your camera, accessing your photos,
location data and much more.
10. A new textbox just under the lockscreen time helps personalise your
phone – and could be a perfect place for motivational quotes, important
reminders, name tags and much more.
11. Android Marshmallow makes it easier than ever to manage your
storage. Replacing Lollipop’s mix of colors for a much more streamlined
interface, Marshmallow shows users how much storage space they’ve
used
12. Doze is, after Google Now on Tap, perhaps the biggest thing in
Marshmallow. Doze is an intelligent battery management feature that
recognizes when your device is not is use
13. In Marshmallow, fingerprint sensors can be used to log into apps like
Evernote, or even buy things via in-app purchases. Simply put,
authentication will be easier across the Android experience.
14. Rather than treating the memory card as a separate storage space,
Marshmallow can treat it like the rest of the memory on your phone.
The result? You can use your memory card space without any fuss.
15. Marshmallow uses a brand-new layout for the app drawer, and it makes
looking for applications a quicker, simpler process. Rather than scrolling
sideways, users now have to scroll down vertically
