what's going on everyone at average consumer and today we're going to be talking about the top five features from Android M that was just announced at Google i/o now this list is in no particular order but we're gonna start this off with Android pay now let's address the elephant in the room this is Android pay and there's Apple pay now I'm not gonna say Google copied Apple because Google Wallet has been around way before Apple pay but they did buy it on Apple with the pay part of it and I think that's because Apple actually made it popular Google Wallet never really took off and they had some trouble getting some traction Apple pay blew up and people know what Apple pay is so they're going to go ahead and copy the marketing a bit with Android pay and just as you'd expect this is tapped to pay so all you have to do is take your device put it on the reader and boom you should be able to pay for whatever item you're purchasing now google says they already have 700,000 merchants who are ready to take Android pay and you can actually also use it to pay for in-app purchases and for phones that are able to support it you can use your fingerprint to unlock Apple pay and start using it now one thing I like about these pay services is that they're actually more secure than using your own card for android pay Google will make an account number for whatever card you're using and that's what's going to be used when dealing with merchants instead of your card number and that makes it way more secure than using your actual card and I'm a huge fan of that the next up we have Google now Google Mail has always been awesome on Android and now google announced some crazy improvements in Android M now we'll be able to proactively answer and make suggestions based on what's on your screen they drew the word context around a lot and that's because it takes information from what's on your screen and tailors it to responses based around it a cool example they showed was receiving an email from a friend about a movie and then having Google now send you a card giving you all the details about it I thought this was pretty dope because you can kind of skip the whole process of asking what's the movie about who's in it and get all that information right from google now it'll even be able to give you more information about businesses and I'm not just talking about locations and reviews you'll be able to see when their busiest what time they open and close and even what you might need before getting there I think that's pretty awesome another new addition to Android M is USB type-c support we'll probably see this first with new Nexus devices and hopefully other manufacturers pick up that as well USB type-c will allow it to three to four times faster charging speeds and it'll provide a flippable design now this is great because you want the fumble or sterka ports to make sure you're plugging it in right and this might not seem like a big deal but I welcome anything that makes my life a little bit easier and this definitely does and with USB type-c you'll be able to use your device to charge another device which in theory sounds really cool but I'd probably never use this with my phone as we all know phone battery life is very precious but I probably use it if I had an Android M tablet and I needed to charge something else in an emergency now another new and very welcome future is better app permissions when you first install an app you get a list of permissions that the app will be accessing after you've installed it but google has done away with this and now apps will be able to request permission when trying to access those parts of your device we no longer have to deal with you all or nothing approach now we can select which permissions the app gets to use when it actually needs it and last but not least there's doze Android M is looking to make your device smarter at managing power with a new doze mode this mode will put your phone or tablet into a deep sleep if it hasn't been picked up or used for an extended period of time during those you won't have a ton of background activity from your apps allowing your device to go into a deeper sleep state and will only sync with high priority apps with this you should be able to get twice as much standby time I can't wait to see this come to the galaxy s6 since I'm not too crazy about it standby time but normal activity does resume once you pick up or move your device you got to keep in mind though that this is for standby time and this will not give you extra battery time once you're actually using the device that pretty much wraps it up for my top 5 features that I see coming to Android M now I think we should all take away that Android M isn't going to be a huge update for android is going to be one of those a base that just makes a few things better but hopefully you enjoyed this guy's if you saw a feature that I didn't mention here today and you think it's better leave a comment down below in the description and I'll catch you guys in the next one peace
