Android Marshmallow comes packed with new features and updates. It brings the convenience of Android Pay to the users and the ease of paying for products with a single tap. Fingerprint authentication facility is also present in the update along with revamped permissions management.
Users can now select what permissions they want to impart to the apps instead of the earlier blanket permissions. Android Marshmallow also comes with the app standby and the doze features. It also brings the multi-window features into the device, though the future of this feature is slightly uncertain.
The clock widget has been completely redesigned for a whole new functional look, according to BGR.
