links between applications : There are content that users are on the Internet, but belong to the domain of a specific application, for example, a YouTube link; far when carrying this link, the user was shown a list of applications with which it was possible to open the link and consume content in the best way; but now Google has created the “verifiable links” which are pieces of code that exist within the sites and communicate with mobile applications; so the smartphone will know to open a tweet with the application of Twitter when you find the code checked for implementation;

Android Pay : a Google back to look at the market of mobile payments and Android Pay is a cross reality to all equipment with the next version of the operating system; through NFC technology You can make digital payments quickly and conveniently, without having to open an application; Android Pay always creates a virtual credit card based on actual user data to prevent theft;
