What is expected of Android M? – Hypertext

is supposed to be a secret, but it is an open secret: the new version of Android , codename M, is coming soon and it looks to be presented for the Google I / O 2015 , which will take place on May 28 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. In fact, the name was leaked into the conference schedule and quickly retired, and beyond his initial not know anything for sure and we rely on pure speculation. Therefore, What can we expect from Android M?

What we hope

Let’s start with your full name. And, except surprise, not know your name until they leave the public , which will probably occur in the last quarter of 2015 if we go by the dates for submission of Lollipop or KitKat. However, we know that the internal name of the new version of Android is Macadamia Nut Cookie , “macadamia cookie” translated into Spanish.

However, I doubt very much this is the final name especially because of its length and, above all, that is not recognizable to everyone dessert, so probably see a more commercial and international name in the final version of Android M . This movement has worked very well with Lollipop and especially KitKat, so it would be illogical to give a 180-degree strategy for Android closest to the general population.

The fingerprint scanner has proven its worth and effectiveness and should become a standard in Android as soon as possible.

Turning to security, are various rumors related to the incorporation of authentication for fingerprint readers native , which come as a counterpoint to the popular Touch Apple ID. This move would serve to boost this type of scanners in Android smartphones, of which we have few examples today.

many changes in the system functionality is also rumored from give users the control permits applications , which would be an indirect advance security for Android users. In addition, could improve the way we interact with the applications using control via voice commands and universal quick answers from notification without opening the app, and Android Pay, the payment system via mobile that will be implemented in Android by default.

Finally, performance. In KitKat already we are seen an improvement in performance with Project Svelte , designed to operate on smartphones with 512 MB of RAM, and Lollipop had their fill of improvement Project Volta , whose effectiveness turned out to be more than questionable. In fact, we have nothing more to look at various forums of smartphones with Android, and see slab Lollipop has made a performance for many smartphones, especially those of middle and lower range.

Therefore, it seems that be that of Google are keen to recover his reputation for good performance and improve once and for all in autonomy and consumption, having achieved a spectacular facelift with Material Design, becoming lollipop Android one of the most beautiful mobile operating systems today. We’ll see if Google takes the bull by the horns and get correct what has gone wrong with his ambitious bid to Lollipop.

What we want

A greater level of customization in stock Android would be very welcome between users.

So far all the rumors but What about what we want? Because our wish list is still there, and it is not cut . For starters, you should already get an improved backup in Android version, a system backup that allows us to restore the applications you want with their respective data: it can not be that in 2015 we have to continue manually restoring our data a thankless and very cumbersome process.

Lollipop has been quite controversial for its fluidity and performance problems, and Google should take action on the matter since. Google should also consider recover silent mode on Android : the new system different sound modes may make some sense, but do not understand why can not coexist with a mute implemented from the beginning Android. We also reiterate the importance of improving the performance and fluidity throughout the system, preventing falls frames and maintaining a stable speed: Android Lollipop is visually spectacular, but in performance and stability is a step backwards . with the provisions of KitKat

Finally, we miss some customization and control system: Android allows us to do many things, but greater control over which applications can and can not access the location would be welcome among many users. In addition, there is the issue of customization. Android pure love for its simplicity and simplicity, but this simplicity can be frustrating at times if compared to other smartphones with layers of customization

These are our wishes for Android M. What are yours Do not hesitate to leave us your thoughts in a comment
