After Lollipop comes Marshmallow! What are we talking about? The new operating system for smartphones and tablets from Google, which will not be a simple update, but a complete version.
The look of Android, after version 4.0 Ice Cream in 2011, remained the same until the arrival of Lollipop, which revolutionized the interface with the introduction of Material Design.
For Android 6.0, it was decided to maintain this style, especially to preserve the immediacy and ease of use; from buttons to transitions, from effects shown when touching the display to fonts.
Android M, as it was called before its name was revealed, will introduce hundreds of updates. The main ones?
# Support for biometric fingerprint sensors.
# USB-C connection.
# Android Pay, the mobile payment platform that already includes Samsung Pay and Google Wallet, which will authorize transactions with a fingerprint.
# Introduction of Google Now on Tap, the enhanced personal assistant that will be even more intuitive.
# Simplification of the management of permissions required by applications.
# Optimization of links that will open “inside” the apps.
Google’s tradition of sweet treats already has a long history, after Cupcake (1.5), Donut (1.6), Eclair (2.0), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3), Honeycomb (3.0), Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0), Jelly Bean (4.1-3), KitKat (4.4), and Lollipop (5.0), now it’s the turn of the beloved and gummy Marshmallow.
Android Marshmallow 6.0 was officially presented during the last Google I/O, the final version is already available for developers but the release is expected next autumn.
