Google has already rolled out the new Android version, 6.0 Marshmallow. However, more than a month after the official release of the new platform, some tech manufacturers still have to release their own builds for the new Android M.

Meanwhile, Google-run Nexus devices have already received their Android M versions. Users and Android fans have explored the new platform. Aside from what Google has announced about the new features of Marshmallow, observers report that there are also a number of surprise features and elements not included in the announcement.

According to Trusted Reviews, one of what could be described as a "hidden" feature, since there are only a few power users who know it, is the turbo-navigating option. In previous Android versions, checking through the apps using the scrolling function moves through the screen window by window, as the apps are arranged. In Android Marshmallow, however, the extreme right edge of the scroll bar serves a function – it navigates through apps alphabetically. This is a good way to scroll through apps without the need to check window by window, particularly for devices with a huge collection of apps.

Meanwhile, PC Mag highlighted the shortcut that Android M gave to the Google Now function as one of the best features of the new platform. Without exiting the app window currently open, users can just long-press the Home button to access Google Now.

Other features that users have been slowly discovering in the new Android 6.0 environment include 4K display support for units that can integrate it, adjusting security levels right from the start of a device boot, and more interactive support features for accessories like stylus, Smart Text, and Hotspot.

Although it has been reported that consumers are still waiting for some of the devices to have the OTA notification for an Android 6.0 update, observers expect that the active roll-out of the new platform will occur starting early next year.
