The big difference in performance on an Xperia Z5 with Android 5.1 Lollipop and Android 6.0 Marshmallow

We are tired of the desperation of having to wait for the damn updates to come that integrate these novelties, that improvement in performance or that battery life that can be extended in hours thanks to a system like the one that Doze has included in Android Marshmallow. That frustration that is obtained from seeing how the Nexus devices are updated and as the top high-end Marshmallow are arriving, further increases the desire to have that new 6.0 or even Android N even in its form of previous for developers.

And if we later find out that there really is a big difference in performance between Android 5.1 Lollipop and Android 6.0 Marshmallow, it almost makes us want to start smashing chairs, tables and all the furniture we find in our room. And it is that taking an Xperia Z5 as a test bench, lunlike performance between Android Lollipop and Android Marshmallow it's like night and day. A user has switched to the Xperia Z5 through AnTuTu and has obtained a score of 76.799 points in Android Lollipop and in the Marshamallow version up to 90.746 points.

The almost abysmal difference in performance between different versions

There are many users who they almost quarrel with the operators or are looking for new manufacturers who bet more to have their terminals updated, in order to have the latest version of Android, which is usually associated with greater advantages and an improvement in the performance of the terminal.

In the case of Marshmallow it is because this is the polished version of Android Lollipop in which some bugs did their thing to worsen performance, even getting it to improve when compared to Android 4.4 KitKat version.

And it is that the improvements between the two versions in an Xperia Z5 are evident. In that score of 90.746 points in AnTuTu it is found that it improves to Lollipop in all sections of the test, as in 3D, UX, CPU and RAM. Something that you quickly realize when you start fiddling with your phone after updating it to Marshmallow.

And perhaps you could also say that perhaps it is the phone of that user, but more are sharing their score to even exceed it and reach 94.000 points. There is nothing.

And it is not only won in performance

We talk about the incredible performance obtained with Android Marshmallow, but the same happens almost with the battery life. In the case of the Sony Xperia Z5, the Japanese manufacturer has decided to withdraw the Stamina system for a while, which achieved very good results. Many were the users who criticized this decisionBut after weeks with Doze, hardly anyone misses that Stamina mode anymore because the Doze system works like a charm.

My own Xperia Z5 arrived scraped at 4 hours of active screen, but now with moderate use perfectly reaches five hours on screen (as I show in this image above). That extra hour comes thanks to the fact that the system manages the battery better when it has the Doze mode active, which allows to have these advantages and to be able to reach the end of the day easily. If you already make less use of the phone when you are out all day, which is WhatsApp, Facebook and calls, you may find that you have 40% of battery left at night.

And that we are talking about a Doze system who has to go to another level in Android N. In this new version it will come into operation even when we carry it in our pants pocket, not like now, in Marshmallow, which must be on a smooth surface for it to activate.

One can now understand the why the obsession of many users for having the latest system update. Obvious improvement in system performance and a battery life that is considerably lengthened to be almost in a new edition of that phone that you have in your hands.
