2015-10-05
this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by domain.com hey what's going on guys a märklin sangun from TechnoBuffalo and today we'll be taking a look at android 6.0 marshmallow on the Nexus 6 Google's latest mobile update began rolling out to nexus users Monday morning including the Nexus 5 Nexus 6 nexus 7 2013 edition and Nexus 9 if you haven't received the OTA update yet we actually made a separate video detailing how to manually flash android 6.0 l 0 on your Nexus device so what's new in Android 6.0 marshmallow probably the biggest change in this version is now on tap it's essentially an assistant that listens in on your activities and gives you the supplemental information to help you get more done for example if someone texts you or emails you about seeing the Martian now on tap will provide links to information about the movie shortcuts to relevant apps and even make a calendar entry if a date and time are mentioned if you don't know anything about the Martian you can simply ask Google now who directed the movie and it'll be able to pull up information about the director of the Martian compared to what's been added to Android in the past now on tap is easily one of the cooler features we've seen not only is it really fun to play around with but it makes Android even smarter making it easier to find information without leaving the app you're in Android marshmallow also includes native fingerprint support and marshmallow your fingerprint will be able to do things like unlock your device authorize payments using Android pay and in the google play store as well as signing in to third-party apps another big change in android 6.0 as those which is marshmallows newest power saving feature with those android recognizes when your device is idle and will automatically put your phone into a deep sleep state to conserve power according to google the screen off time of devices running marshmallow lasted thirty percent longer on average so even if you forget to plug in your phone before bed your phone's alarm clock will still ring there's also app standby which essentially puts your less frequent use apps into a reduced activity states you conserve battery for the apps you use more frequently last but not least android marshmallow will now give you the ability to customize and control which permissions you give apps for example i can revoke access to my microphone inside instagram but i can still use the app normally in the next few weeks and months developers will start updating their apps to support this feature which means apps that are designed for android marshmallow will only ask for a permission at the time it's needed in terms of the overall you I not much is really changer with the exception the app drawer which now scrolls vertically whereas before you'd need to scroll horizontally in order to see your different apps there's also somewhat newish easter egg with android marshmallow now I say newish because it's essentially the same minigame we saw last year with Android lollipop which is kind of disappointing but this time around you need to save your Android buddy and pass through the cute marshmallow that is probably gonna eat you let me stop the video real fast and thank our friends over at domain.com it's the place to go when the next great idea hits you it's a one-stop shopping for all your domain names and web hosting email needs domain wants to hook our fans up with a pretty cool offer save twenty percent on domain names and web hosting if you use a coupon code technobuffalo at domain comms check out so these are the major changes in android marshmallow we checked out the early Developer Preview a few months back so make sure to check them out over here android marshmallow is rolling out starting today but if you want to manually flash it make sure to check out the link in the description below anyways thank you guys so much for watching and if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one
