Google has announced the Developer Preview of the next version of its
Android operating system, Android M, at Google I/O 2015 in San
Francisco. However, they did not announce which pastry or dessert it
will be named after yet.
At the conference, Google senior VP of Products Sundar Pichai said that the Android M operating system will concentrate more on improving the stability and usability of the platform. There will be a lot more emphasis on the quality of the platform rather than a radically new look.
While not a major overhaul, it has some new features that make it worth getting excited about. Here are some cool new features you can expect to see in Android M.
1.Chrome Custome Tabs
Android M delivers an improved web experience with Chrome Custom Tabs. This new feature will let you include Chrome web view within a particular app, so you don’t need to switch to the Chrome browser on your phone. The Chrome browser will run atop your app (in case you click on any link within the app). Chrome features such as automatic sign-in, saved passwords, auto-fill will work on the apps seamlessly .
2.Android Pay
Android M will also come with Android Pay, a Google’s new mobile payments system designed to make the checkout process easier and faster.
Burke said that Android Pay will be available at 700,000 stores across the United States, and will work at any payment terminal equipped with NFC. To use it, all you’ll need to do is just unlock the phone and place it in front of a NFC compatible POS terminal.
