On September 29 expected to debut new Nexus models with the new Android 6.0 OS Marshmallow. We do not knew when this version will be available on other phones. But now we know.

A Canadian operator escaped a picture on the internet in which old models Nexus Nexus 5 and 6 are ready to receive the update on October 5. This means that they will be the first models, except the new Nexus  that will be launched, which will run the new operating system.

Here’s the short version from Google according to AndroidIT:

Android platform change:

Final Permissions User Interface – we updated the permissions user interface and enhanced some of the permissions’ behavior.

API change:

Updates to the Fingerprint API – which enables better error reporting, better fingerprint enrollment experience, plus enumeration support for greater reliability.

Visual Voicemail

Information gleaned from the Android Developer Preview issue tracker page has indicated that Android M will include Visual Voicemail service accessible from the dialer. According to a report by Android Police, it appears that T-Mobile and Orange France will be the only two carriers to support the functionality, but more are sure to follow (after all, Android M is still in its early stages).

Rotating home screen

Another surprisingly slow feature to make it to Android, the screen rotation function for the home screen has finally made an appearance. Now you can use your phone in landscape format both in apps and on the home screen.
