Android 6.0 is now being rolled out for the first devices
The time has come: the first devices will be equipped with the new operating system. Of course, Google's smartphones are the first to be preferred when updating. Updates for other devices will also follow in the next few weeks.
Android M was recently officially announced by Google - now it's finally here: the new Android 6.0, also known as Android Marshmallow. The first devices to receive the new update are some devices in the Google Nexus range, such as the Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus 7 Tablet from 2013, and the Google Nexus Player. The brand new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P are delivered directly with Android 6.0, without the need for an extra update.
Lots of new features
As a developer Google has now announced on the official Android blog, the new operating system should save more battery and there should be new app permissions that will give you more control over your smartphone in the future - of course, that wasn't all. We have all the new features of Android Marshmallow for you in this post summarized, there you will find all the new features at a glance.
"Now on Tap" - the best feature in the new Android
Google has so far withheld a new function from us: Now on Tap is the name of the new, very helpful function. With this new feature, Google can directly display addresses, telephone numbers and search terms to the user via certain content. in the Android Blog you can see an example of an email about a zoo. Important information about this zoo, such as address and opening times, is then displayed directly. In addition, Google suggests directly whether an appointment should be entered in the calendar for 11 a.m., as in the email.
The new Android Marshmallow is definitely convincing. The manufacturers now decide whether certain smartphones can update to the next version or not - if Android Lollipop is supported, it could well be that an update will follow here, such as the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge or that Notes 4.
