The official announcement of the Android M operating system took place at the Google I/O conference on May 28, 2015, where no one revealed the secret of the commercial name of the new platform and the release number. And now this was reported on the Android page on Twitter and a video of the presentation was published.

Simultaneously with the announcement of the name of the new edition of Android, Google released the final version of the Android 6.0 SDK, API 23 and the final, third Developer Preview build of this OS. As you know, the final version of Android 6.0 will be released very soon, this fall.

The release's visible benefits include the Android Pay mobile payment system and standardized platform-level fingerprint verification. Devices equipped with a fingerprint scanner will be able to unlock their devices and authorize purchases in Google Play, and developers will be able to embed the corresponding API into any Android app.

Traditionally, each new version of Android is named after a dessert, in alphabetical order. The very first of them were called:
1.0 Apple Pie (“Apple Pie”),
1.1 Banana Bread (“Banana Bread”),
1.5 Cupcake (“Cupcake”),
4.1 - 4.3 Jelly Bean (“Jelly candy”),
4.4 KitKat (“Kit-Kat”),
5.0 - 5.1 Lollipop (“Lollipop”).

As for the letter M, it turned out that the word Marshmallow is hidden behind it, which is translated from English as "marshmallow" or "pastila". In this case, the version number will not be 5.2, as previously assumed, but 6.0.
