1. Android Pay

This feature may not be the most popular in our open spaces, but for the company it is of paramount importance. mobile payment system Android Pay is a response to the corresponding service Apple, but provides even more favorable terms, because Google is not going to charge a fee for the transaction.

This is a special algorithm for application management, which allows them to "freeze" at a time when your device is in sleep mode.

Now you do not have to resort to third-party utilities to check and disable, if necessary permissions for any installed application.

This is a small but very welcome feature. A long press on the application shortcut on your desktop will now give you a chance to not only remove the icon, but also to uninstall the application completely. In conjunction with the new application menu, which will tell a little lower, it is one more reason to abandon third-party launcher.

9. SD-card as an internal memory

Starting with Android KitKat, Google programmers significantly tightened requirements for the use of an external SD-card. This led to the fact that in the recent versions of Android, some operations with foreign cards have become simply impossible, such as moving on it installed applications. The Android M have solved this problem. Now we were allowed to use SD-card on a par with internal storage. That is for external card operating system will look just like one of the sections of the interior.

This will help to identify and close those tasks that you currently do not need, but still using the system resources.

11. Again, a simple change in volume

12. Customizable quick settings panel

Hooray! This happened! Finally, Google has allowed users to determine the amount, composition and arrangement of tiles in the quick settings panel. Now you can leave only options you need and arrange them in a convenient manner for you.

13. Light and dark themes

In place of the gloomy Holo came to light Material Design, which, however, has upset fans of black interface. The Android M developers have tried to cater for all tastes and added the dark theme that can be activated in the settings.

This mode appeared in the Android Lollipop has already come and appeal to many users. Recall that it allows you to manually or automatically activate the "quiet mode" in which the smartphone will not disturb you with their calls and notifications. In the new version you can create several different profiles for this mode, such as for the night, for meetings, for driving, each of which contains its own rules.
