9 Sweet Hidden Features Inside Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Google began rolling out updates to Android 6.0 Marshmallow a month ago, but chances are you dont have it on your device yet, unless you have a Nexus or just purchased a brand-new Android phone, like the HTC One A9.
I received the upgrade for my Nexus 7 tablet. But usually the hold up with Android updates can be attributed to the messy patchwork of manufacturers and carriers making sure their particularly noxious stew of overlays and bloatwarework well together.
Let us turn to the positive and take a moment to acknowledge that we have a brand spanking new chapter of Android, which well all have at some point (unless we get so frustrated with Androids clusterfudge of an ecosystem that we switch to iOS or Firefox OS or something).
To be honest, even if you dont have the opportunity to upgrade anytime soon, you wont be missing much. Marshmallow looks and feels almost exactly like Android 5.0 Lollipop save for a very scant layer of OS housecleaning. While there are some important changes happening behind the scenes like a new fingerprint sensor API (which will only be of use depending on your device) or a battery-saving feature called Doze, theres nothing truly revolutionary from a UX point of view.
While Marshmallow doesnt reinvent the mobile wheel in any meaningful way, it still manages to pack in some cool new features that youll want to check out. Here are nine new features were pretty excited about (and might make us overlook the Android ecosystems many, many faults).
Note: As detailed above, Android is a hot mobile mess. So, no two OEMs Marshmallow experiences are the same. That means that even when your device finally gets an upgrade, these features may function/look slightly differently than they do here (or not be included at all). Keep that in mind and good luck!
