Google has just announced the new
version of Android: Android M. As it did last year, the release will be in
Preview mode, so you still do not know the final name will receive the latest
update of Android. This is not an update that consists of a revolution, but it
seeks to establish what has already introduced Android Lollipop, without
forgetting that there are new features that show users.
To do this, see an overview over
what is what we have announced will bring Android M Preview during initial
KeyNote. Tuned because this time is not so focused on the design and other solutions
that facilitate everyday.
Application permissions

First, they have announced the
application permissions. This is a novelty for the operating system, now we
have much more control over the permissions that each application needs. As an
example, we have shown how WhatsApp required access to the microphone to record
audio.
To access they have to go to the
settings for each application, though, each individual app developers will have
to adopt the new granular permissions: location, camera, microphone, contacts,
phone, SMS, calendar and sensors.
Enhancing the web experience

For Google, the web experience is
increasingly taking more and more importance. To do this, the browser
experience will become more like as if we were trying to native applications.
They have also announced the custom tabs to Chrome.
But the thing is not there, it is
now possible to even create links between apps. Thus, for instance if we
receive a link to a Twitter link, now the system will be able to directly open
native Twitter application instead of the web.
Android Pay
Android also wants to join the
mobile payment device. To do this, they have announced Android Pay, open
payment system compatible with a lot of companies that want to dominate mobile
payments, which is simple and safe.
For now, there are already more
than 700,000 US businesses that can receive payments through the new mechanism.
In this new version of Android,
Android M Preview, you can configure the device so that when making a payment
or buy something, your device may ask us to confirm the fingerprint. And
precisely this is one of the highlights of Android Pay, for the power to
confirm the fingerprint expenses is something that really brings security to
these mechanisms before which many users are apathetic to first.
Doze, improved power management and battery
Google is concerned to improve
the autonomy of the devices, and it has continued to work in the management of
both the power consumption and the load, for which announced Doze. This will be
improved in terms of cargo and as for consumption by the operating system.
Relatedly it has also announced
support for USB 3.1 Type C in Android M.
Our fellow Omicrono made a brief
review of this mode to save battery, we wait for first impressions to bring you
all the details. Sometimes promise to double the battery of some Nexus.
Small utilities up and down
Google has studied all the
feedback collected in previous versions of Android, both users and developers.
Thus, the API will Android considerably improved in certain respects.
All this leads to a smaller
number of new developments that complement what we have so far of the operating
system, such as an improvement in the volume controls, or the fact that the
text selection can be of words or characters or even a new dark mode. All this
brings a lot of developments which aims mainly to provide a leap in quality
with respect to Android Lollipop.

The developer version of Android
M last until the third quarter, when the final version will appear. First
Preview 1 we have with us will last until late June or July. The third and
final Preview appear end of July. The interesting thing is that these also
receive updates via OTA.
Undoubtedly, we are looking
forward to meeting in detail what all the news to detail that brings this new
version of Android: Android M Preview. But above all, have these versions
available as soon as possible to start playing with this news that so many
users expect to win. Unfortunately history repeats itself, since surely only
the Nexus can receive these developments in a short period of time. There will
always be glad with the official wallpaper of the M preview.
