Android Marshmallow is the latest version of Android operating system. However, it is yet to be rolled out for majority of devices which are still operating on its predecessor – Android Lollipop. Only Google's Android One and Nexus devices have got the latest Android Marshmallow soon after its release. Fortunately, if you want a phone with the latest Android version you don't have to pay huge sums these days nor you have to pick one of the Nexus or Android One devices. Recently, many budget devices have been launched in India with the latest Android Marshmallow operating system.
Note that Android 6.0 comes with major improvements and new features in comparison to its predecessor, the Android Lollipop. It brings a new power management feature, named as Doze, that claims to reduce device's background activity when the device is not in use to increase standby battery life. Android Marshmallow also features a new permissions system for users to install and upgrade apps, it will only ask for permissions when it's actually needed and users can deny any permission and still continue to use the app.
With 'It's all here' feature one can sign-in to his Google Account, and your apps, settings, contacts, photos, and more are all there, right where you left them. Google Now on Tap is another feature of Android 6.0 which enable the users to get relevant info without having to leave an app or a website. They only need to touch and hold the home button. It also support Multi-app/splitscreen support which enable users to run two apps side-by-side, we have seen this feature before on Samsung's Note devices.
Besides these, the new Android 6.0 features include Improved cut, copy, and paste, volume control, Voice power (use your voice to control apps), Direct Share, Bluetooth stylus support, Duplex printing support, Hotspot 2.0, easy transfer of your accounts, apps and data to a new device, VPN support and a new app drawer etc. The Android 6.0 version also brings support for Gujarati and Urdu languages.
