Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow gives older devices the ability to open up the camera by double tapping the power button, Trusted Reviews reported. The search giant debuted this feature earlier this year with the Nexus 6P and the Nexus 5x; however, this is the first time it has come to older Nexus devices. It is unknown whether this feature will be included in non-Nexus Android devices that get Android 6.0.1.
