The advent of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow
As the tech-magnate Google announces the roll-out of its most recent operating system for your device, the world waits for the new Android 6.0. Titled as marshmallow, the device has already poked the audiences to develop a taste for it! Rolling out with two of the recently launched Google devices namely Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P, the android 6.0 has a lot of expectations to live up to.
Okay, so here’s the first query which most of you might be having.
When will I get the update?
Nexus 9
Well, it depends. If you are a Nexus user flaunting your Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 or your Nexus 9, you can expect the 6.0 to roll out on your device by the 6th of October.
However, as of now, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 aren’t queued to get this update.
On the other hand, the most direct path would be to buy a Nexus 5X or 6P which have been rolled out earlier in this week and are getting officially launched with Marshmallow in them.
HTC M9
If you are an HTC user, more specifically HTC One M8 or M9, you must wait. The android 6.0 is yet to get a roll-out date for the HTC devices but they are anticipated to be released towards the end of December. If you have a HTC One M7 in possession, we have nothing but disappointing news for you as the device is over two years old.
When it comes to Samsung, many technocrats anticipate that the galaxy devices would get a proper list of release by the end of the year. So, there’s no release date allotted as of yet. Devices such as S6, S6 edge, Note 4, Note 5 and many more are expected to make it to that list.
LG G4
LG devices are most definitely expected to make it to the list of devices rolling out with android 6.0. LG G4 as well as LG G3 will most certainly receive the update by the end of the year.
Xperia Z4, Xperia Z3 as well as Xperia Z3+ will mostly receive the updates when talking of sony whereas the Motorola smart phones such as the Moto X and Moto X play are scheduled to get an update soon.
Transpiring The Key Features
Another important update as of now would be to cover all the aspects associated with the key features or the additional features which the Marshmallow 5 would exhibit as it rolls out.
The app permissions feature in the Android 6.0
The most important feature which was focused on by Google was the app permissions. With the advent of this feature, you can now deny or accept permissions individually as per your convenience. Moreover, the permissions have been highly broken down and simplified for better understanding by the daily user.
Chrome custom tabs feature
Another feature which is bound to drop your jaw would be the entirety of the web experience associated with the new Android 6.0. This is meant to enhance the user interface of the device and make it much more user friendly. There is this new feature called the chrome custom tabs by the means of which you can take a hold of all the advantages of the chrome and steer the overall experience in that direction. Instead of viewing the chrome applications separately, you can open a customizable window on the top of the application
The fingerprint support
Also, the device is expected to arrive with the fingerprint support for the devices which have started running on marshmallow. The new mobile payment system powered by Google is supposed to be named Android Pay and this feature is truly fast in terms of logging in or out of this device. With an aim to provide, “simplicity, security and choice”, the android pay is definitely a big plus. Doze is an important new software to work upon.
Thus, these are the few features which you can expect to witness. As the recent Marshmallow rolls out, you can expect to get yourselves enlightened.
