At Google I / O 2015, Google announce Android M, a preview of the latest Android version which we will see later this year. But what about all Android M? Or at least, what we think we know?
We will check this page regularly provide updates, so add this to your favorites to read the latest news about Android M.
Android M
Just like last year at Google I / O 2015 on May 28 during the keynote an official developer preview of the next version of Android, Android M announced . This latest Android version includes, as expected, again the necessary improvements and new features. Sparsely new information comes out that we know Thursday whether this is correct. To give some direction to all these rumors, we have all the details (and rumors) put extent known about Android M in a row.
Before we take all possible facts, first name. Here we actually know relatively little about, but it is known what name is used internally: Macadamia Nut Cookie (MNC). This will almost certainly not the final name will be going to see the consumer, Google used rather difficult to remember ‘aliases’ Android versions. We saw Key Lime Pie (KitKat) and Lemon Meringue Pie (Lollipop). The first letter is always in line with the final version. During Google I / O we go Android M official name would not hear, this is likely to be the case at the launch.
To get some inspiration, we have already 12 names for you put at a glance:
Android Mocca – Android Maple Syrup – Android Mars – Android Mango – Melon Android – Android MilkyWay – Android Mint – macarone Android – Android Marshmallow – Mentos Android – Android Meringue – Android Muffin
Whether the final name is there, we know that probably only a few months

Battery and RAM
One of the focal points of Android M would be battery life. Even though there are big steps put in Lollipop Project Volta, which among other things was a battery saver mode, the limits in terms of battery life should be further looked into Android M. This would be achieved, by sending fewer location requests, this also is the battery charge less and get the device just that little bit extra. There will undoubtedly be more improvements to be made in this field, as also in the RAM management. Due to better deal with the memory, Android will function more efficiently and get next potential speed gains, including improved battery life. A longer range is a cry from users to manufacturers, but also Google can do an oar in, hopefully with Android M.
Android for Work
In Google’s scheme I / O is some evidence found on Android M and one quote was made herein that will lift a corner of the veil.
Android M brings the power of Android Work in all kinds of workplaces .
The now indicates offline fetched quote that will also be deployed Android Work with broader support for multiple workspaces. These include amongst others think of better integrations, or perhaps the use of Android as an engine for other devices.
Multi-window
One of the features that manufacturers like Samsung and LG years using multi-windows. This makes it possible to display multiple apps on your screen, multitask, but also switch and cut and paste between apps will be much easier. How this function will look like is not clear, but we expect a similar function as in the aforementioned manufacturers.
Support for fingerprint scanner
This may not sound very logical, since there are anyway smartphones with a fingerprint scanner like the Samsung Galaxy S6? True, but the support is not standard for this in Android and has to be developed by the manufacturer itself. From Android M should change after Google has added support for fingerprint scanners. In this way it is, especially in software, much easier to implement these additional security features and new apps will go out there using again.
More Android
In 2014 there were three new parts “in Android. We saw Android Wear, an operating system optimized for wearables. But Android car came by, to your beloved smartphone even more useful in the car. In the entertainment field, Google announced last year (finally) Android TV, a special version of Android for TVs and set-top boxes. Also in Android M we will see better integration of these three areas

Voice control
Operating a smartphone through voice is increasingly used, even though the support in the Netherlands still not optimal. It is expected that Google during Google I / O, and the launch of Android M will also announce things around voice controls. The ultimate goal is to control your smartphone with full voice only. So this applies to open apps, search Google and adjust the settings. Whether this will go directly so far in Android M is the question, but here we know during Google I / O more about

Release Android M
Android M will be launched exactly is not known, but according to the latest rumors would be in August. We do know that during Google I / O will be an Android developer preview M shown which can be downloaded later in the day. This means that developers and manufacturers already on the go with the latest version of Android. For Google, this is a good time to test in practice whether and how the new features work (or not) and for developers to make their apps already for the new Android version. Last year, when Google first used this method, there were quite a few differences between the preview and the final version of Lollipop. If you want to try Android M quickly, then you probably have the best chance if you are in possession of a Nexus 6.
Of course we do Thursday, May 28th from 18:30 live coverage of the keynote I / O and there will be many articles on Androidworld appear with the latest news about this great event.
