As we all know, Google finally has a name for next generation in Android OS, update will be called Android 6.0 Marshmallow.



As always it is expected that Google will release new Nexus devices with preloaded latest OS first. These can be arrive in the forms of new Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 replacements, currently expected from LG and Huawei respectively.

Here is a overview of the soon to be released OS with its 7 most-interesting features. Lets have a look :

1. Doze power-saving :

Marshmallow has a new Feature called Doze power-saving with  motion detection for optimization of  battery usage. When the dozing feature is enabled, the device still continues to send notifications about priority-based activities.

2. The figure print functionality :

Google's upcoming version of android has a fingerprint functionality which can be used either as a standalone feature to unlock Android devices or to authorise either Android Pay transactions, Google Play store purchases, or partner e-commerce app purchases.

3. Now on Tap Feature :

With this new feature users will be able to summon Google Now to scan whatever content might be on a mobile device's screen so it can present pertinent information about the topic of a text, a song, a video clip or an article. This feature will be  will be activated by holding down the device's home button or saying, "OK Google," into the microphone. That action will prompt Now on Tap to scan the screen in attempt to figure out how to be the most helpful. Or, if speaking, users can just say what they are seeking, such as "Who sings this?" Google is hoping to provide Android users with what they need at the precise moment they need it without forcing them to hopscotch from one app to another.

4. Google's Android Pay

Android 6.0 Marshmallow will provide an alternative to the mobile payment system called Google's Android Pay,  an answer to Samsung Pay and Apple Pay, will replace Google Wallet for making mobile purchases in stores and applications.

5. Security :

Marshmallow also streamlines the "permissions" model for users to install and upgrade apps. Android 6.0 will make it easier for users to prevent mobile applications from grabbing their personal information. Permission will only need to be granted to each app if the access is needed for a specific action. That means Android users won't be asked to share information about their contact lists, photo rolls or locations until an app won't work without it.

6. Device Charge faster :

in Android Marshmallow, Google has also announced support for the USB Type-C standard , which will make your device charge faster than the usual. Also, for the Type-C port, a USB cable will be reversible which means both of its ends will be the same and you will not be required to check if you are inserting the cable in the right way. This means that the new type of USB cable can be plugged into a device in any direction. The new USB support in Android Marshmallow will also lets users use their phone to charge other devices.

7. Direct Share :

The Direct Share feature will allow users to share content with targets, such as contacts, within other apps. For example, the direct share target might launch an activity in another social network app, which lets the user share content directly with a specific friend or community in that app.

The moniker for the 6.0 version of the dominant mobile computing system follows a tradition of using sugary treats for Android including Lollipop (5.0), KitKat (4.4), Jellybean (4.1) and Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0).
