Nexus 5 updated to android Marshmallow 6.0.1

                                           Android 6.0.1

The latest update from google for android 6.0 is available. This is the first update to the marshmallow OS version released earlier this year. This update basically contains few new features, bug fixes and performance enhancements. There is not much that you can expect from this update but still after installing it I can find some improvement in the performance of my Device.

Few things to you need to know about this update.

Double Tap Power Button for Camera.

Google is a late entrant in the quick launch settings field. With the launch of its Nexus 5x and Nexus 6P devices, it first launched this feature. Now with this update it has been given into other devices also.

With this update you can launch your camera by double tapping the Power Button. You can use this feature when you are using the phone or when the phone is locked. So basically now you can launch the camera with just the snap of a finger.

 Do not Disturb Control

Google has tweaked this feature and now you can mute all your notifications or select the notifications you want to keep and mute rest. The do not disturb feature was already available but now google has added the feature to control the notification also.

 Set of New Emogis

Google has added a new set of emogis in its keyboard. Android users have always complained that they are the last ones to get new emogis and google has looked into it and has added a new set of emogis in its keyboard.

Security Patches

There have been some addition in the security patches and as per its promise google is trying to provide new security patches every month to make the device more secure.

All in all as I said this update is not going to bring any drastic change in your device but yes you should update to 6.0.1. One difference which I have noticed in my device is that its standby battery life has increased. Earlier my device would consume 9-10% during night without any wifi or internet service but now it consumer less than 3%. Also during day if not used my battery backup has improved. I know the doze feature was launched with android 6.0 but think they have made some improvements to this feature with this update. I did not find any official confirmation on google updates regarding this but still you can confirm this as per your experience and usage.

You can download the latest update from google website. This is only for those who did not receive this update by push notification. The link to download the update is Download updates.

Which one to choose between a Nexus 5X and 6P???

As we all know Nexus 5X and 6P were the 2 google phones that went for sale in India in the mid of last month. Lots of confusion is prevailing in the mind of buyers to select/Purchase from the duo. So lets have a look over the phones.

Nexus 5X is manufactured by LG. It is priced in India by different online sellers between Rs. 31k and 34k.

  12.3MP primary camera with 1.55µm pixels/f2.0 aperture, 4K video recording, dual flash, IR laser auto focus and 5MP front facing camera.

  5.2-inch  (13.2 centimeters) FHD IPS capacitive touch screen with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution and 423 ppi pixel density.

 Android v6 Marshmallow operating system with 1.8GHz 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 hexa core processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory and single nano SIM.

2700mAH lithium-ion battery providing talk-time of 17 hours on 3G networks and standby time of 300 hours on 3G networks.

Nexus 6P is manufactured by Huawei and is priced in India around  Rs 40k.     With the Nexus 6P, Google has gone for a 12.3 mp rear camera with a f/2.0 aperture and IR Laser-Assisted autofocus.

 The phone can record in 4K (30 fps) and has dual-flash.            

 The front camera on Nexus 6P is 8 megapixels with f.24 and HD video-capture capability.

Nexus 6P comes with a bigger screen at 5.7 inches with WQHD (2560 x 1440) AMOLED display at 518 ppi. It has 16:9 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 4 as well as fingerprint and smudge-resistant oleophobic coating.

Nexus 6P comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 Octa-core 64-bit processor, Adreno 430 GPU and 3 GB LPDDR4 RAM. It will come in internal storage options of 32 GB, 64 GB, or 128 GB, making it the first Nexus device to come in 128 GB option.                                  

  Nexus 6P comes with a 3,450 mAh battery as was rumoured. Google has not specified how long the battery will last, although it is promising up to 7 hours of use from just 10 minutes of charging.

  In the end i would like to recommend Nexus 6P cause u can get a really better phone by spending a few more thousand bucks.
