Android M-Will the GS6 Ever See it?

[jcp007]

What are the chances we see it on the GS6 this year?

Votes on the what the "M" stands for?

Could Android M be what the doctor ordered especially the doze feature for battery management? Pleas device tinkering?

My guess is 100% that the GS6 gets M.

Before today everyone was banking on Marshmallow. Now a lot of people think Milky Way or Milkshake. I'm fine with any of those three. What are you hoping for?

I have M on my N6 - will let you know in a couple days how battery is treating me.

Definitely getting it. Samsung flagships usually get 18-24 months of support. The question is when?
Milky Way or Marshmallow.
Hope so. Google Play Services always show as the top drain on my phone

M &M . Come on guys it's so obvious.
Just kidding.
But that's my guess am I'm sticking to it.

I think It's going to be called "milkshake." we'll be lucky if we receive it by Christmas!

Hoping for Macadamia Nut or Milky Way or Mounds?

Will Android M be a follow on to Lollipop 5.1.1 or in place of it?

Android Pay or Samsung Pay? Which is gonna be better?

I think we'll see it as Assassin Droid said.

I think the S6 will receive M on AT&T about 2 weeks after the S7 comes out. Oh and milk shake will be my guess.

Android N is for 2016. It has to be before then.

How much of features like fingerprint scanner and mobile payments played a role in their inclusion in Android M? Could this be the beginning of a optimization push by Google to standardize Android devices and limit the footprint of branded UI like TouchWiz or Sense?

Hopefully it replaces it. Lollipop seams like it's just causing a lot of problems for a lot of people. No matter what android phone you have.

Remember I didn't say problems for everyone I just said for a lot.

I read that some consider Android M not as big a step as Lollipop. From what little I saw through the course of the day, that is not the case.

L was a lot of looks and ideas were started - framework was laid. M seems to be starting to realize the dreams.

Lolli was a pretty big change from KK. M is just improving a lot of the services available in Android and adding stuff that should have been in LP (e.g. volume controls, turning off heads up or a dark system theme)

Which brand do you think had the most influence for the inclusion of the fingerprint scanner support? Doesn't seem like much of a Nexus type feature.

So what Assassin Droid and you are saying, Android M is evolutionary not revolutionary or innovative.

I think it's great, but it looks and feels very similar. Visually its barely an update. What I saw on stage coming this fall is definitely innovation.

Getting Android M, definitely, end of year, definitely NOT, I would say April/May for AT&T and June/August for Verizon since they are ALWAYS LAST.
