No sooner had you
got the android 5.0 lollipop update on your android gadget than Google announced the release of a new version ANDROID M 6.0 .
Upgrades have become
an inevitable ingredient in our daily lives to a point you are
inclined to agree with me that this very metamorphosis has been
inculcated in virtually all our aspects of existence . A thirsty lad
will chase after a damsel in distress with a bigger booty with the
hope of eating more groceries than he had initially bargained for!
Yes, he will leave his current girlfriend with a rather miniaturized
butt and head for the bigger derrières like a boss! Thats an
upgrade right there! The upgrade is always humongous , colossal....
it never misses the lager than life intrigue!
Such is the pursuit
android is embracing and you better brace yourself for the
unremitting upgrades!
Android lollipop
became available for upgrade through the OTA (over the air) channel
for devices that run ROMS of android serviced by Google e.g the NEXUS
and Google play edition devices on November 12 2014. I know for a
fact that the likes of Samsung S6 and Sony Xperia Z series have
rolled out an update to a lollipop version as a stock ROM and OTA updates respectively. Since then, high end devices have
be catapulting their systems towards the new standards in a bid to
offer their loyal clients the royalties that come with the latest
versions of android. Yes old is gold but in technology teaching an
old dog new tricks is a plus! Lollipop was unveiled and I was caught
up in its frenzy since I am a lover of upgrades,
Six months later a
newer version of android has been promulgated and however swift a
changeover it may seem you will always be aroused by the magnanimous
features you are yet to feel! Its like a bait! Maybe you haven't got
the update that elevates you to the saccharine nature of a lollipop
and Google are already bombarding you with a cloud nine experience
of android M yet you haven't been to “cloud 8 ” yet. You must be
crying foul huh? Just in-case you are stressed about it just know
there's still a conservative or should I call them archaic distressed folks running on gingerbread, but still they didn't die!
Here is a breakdown of what you should expect on the Andoid M 6.0
App permissions
The applications you
install on your device all require permissions to use a particular
resource on your android system. This is usually defined at the
initialization of of an application installation
These app
permissions will now be clearly defined such that permissions will
now be requested the first time you use a feature . This means that
every particular resource that needs permission will have its own
trigger on the first instance of use ! Is that cool? Yes … security
enhancements will start from there! Apps that maliciously fetch
information from your android repository will now be on the leash
Fingerprint scanners
Fingerprint support
is one feature that many would yearn for in their phone security
setup! Yes I know you want that finger to do the talking... just so
you can unlock your device seamlessly, stealthily to be precise! Like
a boss!
Android pay
This googles new
mobile payment feature that is designed give a customer a smooth and
easier experience during payments in selected stores . With your
credit card and a phone that supports NFC and running android kitkat
and above payments through American Express Visa master card
discover and carriers such as AT&T verizon and T-mobile will be
be taken to a whole new level!
Open with? Dialogue boxes automation
You must have tried
opening a link only to be thwarted with a dialogue box as your
first answer! Then follows a stack of options prompting you to
chose an application that you wish to open up the link.
A new feature that choses the best suited application to open up the link will override that ultimatum. More like ...just spoon-feed me already! If this then that comes into play... if I click a twitter link open up the twitter application with no question. Yes take me to heaven pronto!

More power less charging?
The USB Type-C
support will also -ensure faster charging . The interesting part is that the
phone will also act as a power-hub which only means you can charge
another device using your phone! Awesome!
Auto-backup and restore apps
When the devil sends
the agents to come get your phone, you will definitely lose your apps
and the unending number of selfies you take with your phone trying
to disapprove your camera pixels that you are not as ugly as its
trying to put it!(yes if you have to take too many selfies to get the
right one .. you are not far from ugly!). Android M will provide for
a way through which you can retrieve your apps and other data. This
data will be stored on your Google drive and the data will not only
be encrypted, it will not not consume the quota of storage you have
been allocated by Google!
Other noticeable changes are ;
A new application
drawer that will display the last four recently used apps and will
have a vertical alphabetic navigation on the left. A dark these will
also be an option in theme selections
The Android M RAM
manager will provide a more elaborate monitor of the RAM usage by
individual applications
Adoptable storage
will also be employed such that devices will now be able to switch
personal. data between internal storage and external storage freely.
Google applications
will also have a new touch and apps like Google chrome and Google
Now will have a overhaul that might actually scintillate you Google
experience!
Is Android M your
new crave ? Does it offer what you've been waiting for with bated
breath ?
