Top 10 features you may not know Android 6.0 Marshmallow has

Are you going to enjoy the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update ? A lot is going to depend on your smartphone. However, here are some features that might make the effort worthwhile:

Type-C USB
This makes your connections extremely fast — so fast that it can charge a Nexus 6P in just two hours — much faster than your conventional cables. Marshmallow comes equipped with built-in support for USB Type-C, so you can benefit from the speed as long as you have the connection in your phone.

Google Now on tap
This iconic feature allows Google Now to go through your apps to ensure that any extra information is just a second away. When you open Google Now inside any app, it will read the screen and give you any interesting information as a pop up.

Personalised lock screen
You can now personalise your lock screen by using the textbox just under the lock screen clock. This feature allows you to write important reminders and motivational quotes right on your lock screen.

Doze
This feature adjusts the activity of the apps depending upon the usage of the smartphone. In simpler terms, if you do not use your phone throughout the day, Marshmallow will pause the activity of all apps to save battery.

Fingerprint scanner
Android 6.0 is the first OS that uses scanners properly. You can use fingerprint sensors to log into apps like Evernote and also while making payments.

System UI tuner
One of the biggest problems with the current Android OS is the fact that the status bar can get quite crowded. With Marshmallow, you can choose the information that you actually want to see on the status bar.

App permissions
You no longer have to give Android apps permission to access everything. Marshmallow allows developers case-by-case app permissions. This ensures that you have a control on the things that you disapprove.

Chrome custom tabs
This ensures that you don’t have to switch between apps when you want to browse the Internet, making your experience of browsing the web smoother.

Better editing
If you are tired of going to the top of the screen for clicking cut, copy, and paste buttons, there is good news for you. Android Marshmallow sees to it that these options float directly above the word or words you have selected.

Improved app drawer
Marshmallow comes with a new and improved layout for your app drawer. Now instead of scrolling sideways, you can go to the app that you are looking for by just scrolling down vertically.
