The new development should give Android users something to get excited about.

The feature is definitely a big help; no wonder many people got upset when they took it out on their next update after it was released.
5. The new update also comes with a new security feature. The Nexus firmware images, this tightens the security update on the phone to prevent malicious software to penetrate and gather private and important information.

Meanwhile, the new OTA 6.0.1 may also disappoint many Android users, especially those that have devices that are not Android 6.0. There are still no reports yet if Android will release an update for other phones that are not Nexus.
