On the new Android version called Android M, Google has mainly focused on all types of bugs (hanging around in Androids till now). Google is working hardly to fix these Android features : Fingerprint support, Power & Charging, App Links, Mobile Payments and Web Experience.

Even if you keep your device in Doze Mode you are able to access all features of your device.
Android M is also supports USB Type-C which can provide you faster charging rate or even you can charge another device with your Android phone.
App Links :
Whenever using an Android Device and tapping on a weblink , Android device was not able to directly open the link with Web-Browser or any other specific supporting application. This was the problem faced by Google Developer before Android M.
You all may know about the “Dialogue Box” says “Open With” appears when you try to open a link from an app in Android.You might be asked to whether open the link with YouTube or Web-Browser,for example.
In Android M app links has been changed, so Android M has a higher attention by which the Apps can open links directly, instead of stopping users to first click on the “Open With” Dialogue Box. If you tap a video link trough an app, for example, the YouTube app will automatically open up instead of selecting any app from the dialogue box.

Web-Experience :
Google is investigating the web content consumed to give users a better internet experience, while interacting with websites and apps. Chrome Custom Tabs is a new function that gives developers a way to harness all of Chrome capabilities, while as yet keeping control of the look and feel of experience,”Said Bruke’
Google Chrome Custom app will permit applications to open an altered Chrome Window on the top of active application, rather than propel the Chrome app separately. This will give user a more better and faster web-experience while navigating among apps and the internet.
Chrome custom Tab supports automatic sign-in,saved password,auto-fill and multi process security to help the joining of application and web experience. So,for example, a Twitter custom tab will have a Twitter share button embedded in it, can incorporate custom flood menu choices and doesn’t require the Twitter designers to manufacture their own particular web program.
