Lollipop is the biggest Android update in years. Everyone else will have to wait till early 2015. Motorola, Samsung, and HTC users should expect Android 5.0 by year's end. Rolling updates: Lollipop is currently available only to those running Nexus devices. Be sure to opt for more storage (built-in or expandable) if you're buying a new device. Space eater: The new ART environment supports faster processes at the expense of disk space. This responsiveness is most apparent in system-intensive apps like games and multimedia tools.Ä«loatware removal: With Lollipop, you can now remove space-hogging, carrier-specific bundled apps. Speed: Apps and processes launch noticeably faster in Lollipop, thanks to the new Android RunTime (ART). Even older devices like the Nexus 5 will see a bump in battery life.
Each user can customize the look and feel of their experience, as well as install and run separate app environments.Ä«attery life: Lollipop has been optimized to better manage energy, and it provides a history list of the most energy-draining apps. Use separate accounts or the pinning feature, which locks your device into a single app, so you can share your phone or tablet without privacy concerns. Multiple users: Android finally allows guest accounts. Built on Google's Material Design principles, menus and apps are vibrant, colorful, and paper-like - similar to Google's Web apps. Notification ribbons provide alerts without being intrusive. Intuitive layout: Android 5.0's new card-style layout makes it intuitive and efficient to switch between apps. Better power management, a more vibrant interface, and increased responsiveness make Lollipop a worthwhile upgrade. Its paper-like aesthetic keeps the OS consistent with Google's Web apps. Android 5, aka Lollipop, demonstrates Google's commitment to providing a better mobile experience.
