App permissions
Google will simplify permissions, making it clear to users when they use a feature for the first time whether the app needs to use the camera, location data, or other information about a user and their device.

Web experience
Now app developers can embed full featured version of Chrome which can also be modified to suite the skin of their app.
Full featured means that the security, auto-fill, etc will be available inside the app.

App links
A feature called New App Links gives developers the ability to eliminate the "disambiguation“ boxes that pop up when there are multiple ways to access particular links.

Mobile Payments This is Android's take on
Apple's integrated mobile payments system and is focused on "simplicity, safety and choice".
Like Apple Pay, your credit card data is not shared with stores on payment rather it uses a different ID number to verify the payment.

Fingerprint support This system
standardizes fingerprint sensors in Android.
The new API brings access to the sensors, of whatever type, to app developers too meaning better and swifter verification for apps of all kinds including Android Pay

Power and charging
In order to improve battery life of a device, Google introduced a new feature called Doze.
The new feature in Android M, with help of motion sensors, sends the device into deeper sleep if inactive for a long period of time.

BRILLO OS
This is a “polished down” Android operating system from Google that is meant for an ‘Internet of Things’.
Brillo is so designed that it can run on almost everything in your home, allowing them to communicate with each other flawlessly.
It will now be possible to connect smartphones to other home devices as well as connect these devices to a cloud.
To help with the cloud connection there is Weave which is a communication protocol that will let these devices talk to each other based on common schemas.

Google Now
This feature is seeing a beef up with the introduction of Now on Tap where Google is pushing the service inside individual applications and services.
Whether you are listening to music, reading an article or anything else ‘Google Now’ will now be available to help you understand the context at that particular moment.

Google Photos
The system is designed to organize the photo and video collection, enhance and collect them into stories automatically and make it easier to share them with friends and family.
Built-in editing tools will let one adjust the images and introduces a Photos Assistant who will suggest edits or collections one might want to make.
Sharing is also made easier by simply selecting photos in the app, tapping "Get a Link", and sending it across whatever service.

Virtual Reality They have updated the
Cardboard viewers to fit any phone up to six inches. A new button works with any phone, and they updated the SDK to run on Android or iOS.
Google also announced Expeditions, a program that sends a box with cardboard viewers, phones, and a teacher tablet to a classroom for virtual reality field trips.
Jump will be Google's new tool for capturing VR video and YouTube will be the player.
