Android 6.0 Marshmallow has now started rolling out on different devices. Recently Moto 2015 received the http://innaz2.blogspot.com /2016/01/moto-g-3rd-gen-finally-received-android-6-update-india.html" target="_blank">android M update in New York, North America and Canada. There is not much difference if we talk about the look and feel. It is similar to android 5.1 Lollipop in appearance. But android 6.0 has some good features that will help to get most out of your smartphone. One of the best features of android M is the ability to use any Sdcard as internal storage. Today most phones have 8/16 GB internal storage. This storage may get full if you store all of your data like photos, videos and files on it. If you don’t want to run out of space then you can use any Sdcard and make it your phone’s internal storage. Please note e that USB OTG drive can't be used for the same purpose.
In android 2.3 we were able to move some apps from phone to Sdcard, but this feature was completely removed in later versions. After several years android 6.0 Marshmallow brought this feature back which will change the way we used micro SD cards in the past. For a Sdcard to become the internal storage of your phone it should have faster read/write and data transfer rates. You should use either Sandisk Ultra or Samsung Evo. Both of these micro storage devices are of class 10 having a reading speed of 80 Mbps. You can grab them here Sandisk Ultra|Samsung Evo.
