10 hidden features of Android M:

1. Swiping from left to right on the lock screen will no longer bring up the dial pad, but will open Google Now.

2. The Google Now launcher now allows you to uninstall apps by long pressing the app icon on the home screen and dragging it up to the right.

3. Android M adds a new RAM manager that allows users to understand the detailed information of each application's memory usage. The new RAM manager is located in System > Applications. After entering, you will see the memory usage of currently running applications. If an application occupies too high a memory, you can directly terminate its process.

4. Improved the way Android M handles microSD card storage. After the upgrade, microSD cards can become system memory, which is obviously a practical feature for devices with small built-in storage space. But if you format a microSD card as built-in storage, other devices will not be able to read the card.

5. Android M also adds USB-OTG support, which means it can identify multiple storage devices through the USB interface, allowing you to further expand the storage space of the device.

6. In terms of data backup, Android M can also automatically back up application data. This data will be stored in a private folder in Google Drive and does not take up storage space. This feature can help users retain application settings and preferences when upgrading to new hardware.

7. In terms of connectivity, Google introduced the HotSpot 2.0 standard in Android M, which supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.

8. In addition to USB-C charging and data transmission, Android M can also support MIDI devices - this feature should be loved by musicians.

9. In terms of power saving features, Android M's Doze mode can be turned on or off on a per-app basis.

10. A new dark user interface mode has been added to the developer preview of Android M, which will completely change the appearance of the system when turned on.
