Android M - New Features.

             Google owned a major share in mobile operating system under the name #Android. The latest version of Android running in devices is #Lollipop. Google decided that it is the time to launch new version under the name #Android M ( M is not expanded yet ).

              Its been now since Google launched Android Lollipop and not many devices has moved to Lollipop from Kitkat. Many devices are running in Kitkat but the giant are about to launch the new version in near future this year.

              Google made Android M available as developer preview for the developers in the I/O conference last week and the features about the new version are as follows.

1. Real Fingerprint API :
               
               It may be new for Android users but its an outdated feature for IOS users which integrated it in Iphone 5S. Android M will have a fingerprint recognition module that can be used to login and also for purchases via NFC.

2. USB Type- C :

               USB Type - C is used for fast charging. It allows the connector to flip in both ways. This is again outdated for IOS users having a lightning charger that can be flipped in both ways. It is used for fast charging.

3. DOZE for better battery saving :

                DOZE is a new concept that can be used to save the battery. It uses new motion sensor that will sense the working of the device and will enable the standby mode when there is no motion assuming that the user is at rest or idle.

4. App control permission :

                App control permission is an essential feature through which the user can grant or revoke individual permissions for each app they have installed from play store. It helps in avoiding malicious activity by apps. This is again an similar outdated feature in IOS which is known as Restrictions.

5. External storage allowed :

                 With this feature the user can use the external storage SD card to format and made it to act as normal internal memory. This will help the user in many ways.

                 There has been many other features which is not listed here such as RAM manager, Google Pay, App Links, App Drawer and many more.

                 Android M is expected to be released by the third quarter of this year. It will be a big jump for the users who are using Kitkat to upgrade to Android M.

                 Similarly, Apple is yet to release the IOS 9 which has backward compatibility and can be implemented in all the Iphone irrespective of version. This is expected to be launched by this September.
