Marshmallow While Android 6.0 is already available for some time, it is in vain to look for his significant stake in the market. I was lucky because my Moto X2 is now in renovation and quickly I can say that although the changes are relatively few, are two particularly appealed to me.
All the changes that introduced Android updated to version 6.0 Marshmallow already described in a comprehensive guide, which is available here: Android 6.0 Marshmallow – a compendium of information and a list of models that will get the update. Therefore, today I will focus only on those changes which, in practice, made the deepest impression.
Phone is no longer the most important function of the smartphone
Often the reviews of smartphones meet with comments that allege that little time is devoted to modern cell phone features. Commenting think it’s just conversations, the quality and stability of connections are one of the most important uses of smartphones.
Completely with this theory I do not agree, and I notice that more and more users use the cells as with terminal access to services Internet than strictly the phone function. It can indeed easily check – in battery usage statistics. In my case, on top of the list are applications such as Twitter, Slack, Chrome, feedly, Pocket, Gmail / Inbox and ProtonMail. A phone? Somewhere at the tail end, the consumption of the battery of only 2 percent.
That’s why I was glad me a slight change in Android Marshmallow – disappearance from the lock screen shortcut for voice and replace it with a shortcut to the voice assistant Google Now.

With Google Now uses very intensively – thus dictate SMS, referring calls, set reminders and check the information on the Web. Therefore pushing this function on the lock screen I consider to be a small but significant and useful facilities.
I use it several times a day, and previous shortcut to the phone did not use almost all.
Most importantly, or battery
The fact that the batteries in smartphones are not sufficient, no need to convince anyone. There are indeed on the market such exceptions as smartphones Sony and such. New Xperia Z5, where two or three days of work per charge are the most normal thing, but almost all the rest of the producers can not cope on this issue. Therefore, the help comes Google Android 6.0 Doze Marshmallow function.
Doze allows you to optimize the energy consumption of smartphones and tablets. With this function, the equipment detects when it is at rest and falls asleep unnecessary processes, so that the battery was enough for longer.
As an example of the use of this option can be used scenario in which we forget to charge your phone overnight. In the last days I had such a situation and so Doze smartphone is not discharged, while I was sleeping, and easily woke me in the morning.
Android 6.0 Marshmallow: visible low battery consumption when no user activity
Android 6.0 Marshmallow is also able to fall asleep applications that are not currently needed. The mobile device uses light sensors, motion and gyro and “knows” when it is in use, and when it was somewhere postponed. As a result, some applications may be put to sleep when they are not needed, which translates into lower energy consumption.
You decide whether you want to optimize energy consumption, and thus allow the lulling application, or no. No consent to optimize the impact on shorter working hours on a single charge of the battery, but the smartphone / tablet will be informed of all notifications in real time – without any delays.
I am delighted Doze. For several days unused for some time smartphone does not lose sight of battery power. It goes to sleep and makes the battery lasts much longer, in critical cases, it is able to survive the night without charger – without the need for manual closing all applications off the Internet connection, etc.
