Android Marshmallow has been officially out for quite a while and users of various Nexus devices except those of Nexus 4, Nexus 10 and the original Nexus 7 (2012) have been enjoying the various perks and benefits that it comes with.
Even though changes to various Google services have been rolled out via application updates through the Google Play Store, Android Marshmallow comes with all of these changes packed in by default, whether its the new classy logo or just the changes to Google Now, Marshmallow brings a fresh look to some applications while keeping the home screen similar to that of Lollipop.
With the vertical app drawer keeping a row of applications which you’re likely to use on this time of the day and hopes of a built-in Night Mode in a future update, Marshmallow offers much more than just a higher battery life due to Doze and App Standby.
