Today Sony has uploaded a new video to its official YouTube channel, and this one’s all about Marshmallow. More specifically, it’s describing in some detail what the most important features are in the company’s update to Android 6.0.

Jelly bean now has 22.3% market share, Ice Cream Sandwich is down to 2.3%, while Gingerbread is at 2.6% and Froyo’s still holding on to 0.1% of the market.
