Smartphones with long battery life are preferred among consumers, I usually say that those who do not care about battery do not need a Smartphone, but the truth is that battery life can in many cases be a decisive feature at the time of purchase. With this in mind, the new Androd decided to give manufacturers a break and now the power control is improved.

Apps on Android 6.0 will be able to decrease background activity when unused for a certain period of time, but will still be active for important events such as alarms. That would save the device up to twice the battery according to Google.

5 – New RAM Control Screen

I always liked to be able to analyze the memory usage rates of my smartphone and this new look certainly pleased me, it reminds me a bit of the way we see the processes on the computer showing the average RAM consumption of each application.

These are the 5 that I found most interesting, but there are a few others, the easy-to-access silent mode return also deserves a mention, just as it was in previous versions, on Android M you can leave the smartphone in silent mode just by turning down the volume. to the minimum value and pressing the "Volume -" button once again.

Apps Links – This is another interesting feature name, it allows you to configure the reliability of an app to open a link, for example, if you touch a YouTube link, Android usually asks which app you want to open the link with. you should choose from a list which app will open the link, in which case it is now possible to set the YouTube app to "trusted" and this way it will always open links to the site, but this is just one example, the same mechanism can work to Twitter links and still others.

Another interesting possibility added was the customization of the quick shortcuts screen you pull the menu from top to bottom on your home screen.
