Android M ; new version of andriod

Android "M" is the working title of an upcoming release of the Android mobile operating system. First unveiled atGoogle I/O on May 28, 2015, Android "M" will focus primarily on incremental improvements and other feature additions.[1]

FeaturesEdit

Android "M" introduces a redesigned permission model: there are now only eight permission categories, and applications are no longer automatically granted all of their specified permissions at installation time. An opt-in system is now used, in which users are prompted to grant or deny individual permissions to an application when they are needed, such as accessing the camera or microphone. Applications remember their permission grants, and they can be adjusted by the user at any time. Only the applications compiled for Android "M" using its SDK will use the new permission framework, while all other applications will continue to use the previous permissions model.[1][2]
Android "M" provides native support forfingerprint recognition, allowing the use of fingerprints for unlocking devices and authenticating Play Store and Android Pay purchases; a standard API is also available for implementing fingerprint-based authentication in other applications. A new power management scheme known as "doze" reduces a device's background activity when the operating system detects that the device is not physically handled. Android "M" supports USB Type-C, including the ability to instruct devices to charge another device over USB. Android "M" also introduces "verified links" that can be configured to open directly in their specified application without further user prompts.[1][2]Android "M" also has native support for the 64-bit ARMv8 architecture.

ReleaseEdit

The Android "M" developer preview was released on May 28, 2015, for theNexus 5 and Nexus 6 phones, theNexus 9 tablet, and the Nexus Playerset-top box, under the build number MPZ44Q.[1][3]

SDK and APIsEdit

The Android "M" developer tools are available in the SDK Manager under API level "MNC".

Windows 10 a preview

The end is in sight: Windows 10 will be released on July 29 as a free download for anyone running Windows 7 , Windows 8, or Windows 8.1 ; the free update will be available for a year. If you aren't eligible for the free upgrade (perhaps one of the many still running Windows XP) you can also pick up individual licenses. Windows 10 Home will set you back $119, and Windows 10 Pro will cost you $199. There isn't any word on international pricing, but those prices are identical to Windows 8 pricing, and convert to £78 / AU$156 and £131 / AU$262 for the Home and Pro versions, respectively. The Windows 10 Technical Preview has come a long way over the last nine or so months , but there's still plenty left to iron out before the next generation of Windows is humming along on our PCs, tablets and phones. To that end, the latest build of Windows 10 (Build 10130) is all about bug fixes and cosmetic tweaks. Get a closer look at the Windows 10 Technical Preview (pictures) The Micr...

LG G6

One of the few design decisions that remained was the dual camera on the back, only this time it sits flush with the phone's body. Below that is the signature sleep/wake button that doubles as a fingerprint sensor. It's been years since LG made this a mainstay of its high-end phones, and I appreciate the placement. The sensor was always within reach of my index fingers, but it occasionally needed a few clicks to unlock. Meanwhile, you'll find the volume keys on the left side, directly opposite the microSIM and microSD card slot (which takes up to 2TB of additional storage). You'll probably need the latter too. In the US, the G6 comes with 32GB of storage, only 19GB of which are available once you crack open the box. There's a USB-C port on the bottom, a headphone jack up top and that's really it. Well, except for the G6's claim to fame: the display. Since the screen is the single biggest change to LG's G Series formula, let's dig a little d...
