A battery that works smarter, not harder

We all hate running out of battery and Android Marshmallow wants to ease our pain by making use of a new function called Doze to improve device standby time.By using motion detectors, Android will recognize when a device hasn’t been interacted with for a while, such as when a person is asleep or a phone has been left on a table, and reduce background processes.
When your device is at rest, Doze automatically puts it into a sleep state. So your phone can still set off your alarm in the morning even if you forgot to charge it. Phew!
No more battery drain from seldom used apps: App Standby limits their impact on battery life so your charge lasts longer.

Greater control for more peace of mind

Permissions your way:
No need to give apps access all the time. Android Marshmallow lets you define what you want to share and when. Turn permissions off at any time, too.

Simplified security with your fingerprint
Skip the crazy passwords: The key is at hand. Your fingerprint unlocks your phone and lets you securely breeze through sign in and checkout on Android Pay, the Play Store and even in apps.
