The Android OS running on the M300XL and M300 is a modified version of Android 6.0.1, tailored to the components and capabilities of the device.
For the most part, development of applications intended to be used on the M300XL and M300 can be accomplished by following standard Android development methodologies and by leveraging existing Android APIs. The APIs listed below are some of the prominent features of Android for which default APIs should be leveraged:
