Android 5.0 Lollipop brings an absolutely new era for the OS, which is targeted to unify the Android experience on all the devices, and built for business use. Google has rebuilt Android Lollipop keeping future in mind. They have laid a robust base for device makers as well as developers to take this platform to new heights, and power the next generation of wearables, smartphones and tablets.
Lollipop will be available for most of the Motorola, LG, and Nexus-branded devices, which is in the hands of device manufacturers like HTC and Samsung for testing purpose and launch in coming months. Let’s have a look at the enhancements that make Android Lollipop most adaptable and substantial.
Streamlined setup
Google has simplified device setup, which is an appreciable improvement. If connected to a cellular network or Wi-Fi, this Android device will automatically download available updates without waiting until the setup procedure is done as in versions past. Android Lollipop’s setup procedure supports NFC transfer that allows the user to tap the previous NFC-enable device to your Android device to share data.
The most noticeable improvement to the setup procedure is capability to restore the device from a particular backup, instead of automatically downloading apps and setting affiliated with Google profile.
Material Design: Absolutely brand new look
Lollipop presents an absolute and suitable visual service of Android UI: Material Design. The new look and feel is fluid, vibrant, and cohesive than the older versions. Its effect can be felt throughout the complete OS, from the new navigational buttons, re-imagined menus to Google’s portfolio of stock applications.
Android 5.0 Lollipop: App Drawer
This new and enhanced app drawer is now connected to the overall Android experience. This the first time after Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich that Android app drawer has been given a fresh look.
ART: Complete modification of Android
The modified log of Lollipop includes many under-the-hood tweaks, and the one which is most important is an overhaul of core architecture of Android with Android Run Time (ART) taking the place of Dalvik VM. This shift is making Android powerful and faster. Dalvik used to compile and process the applications whenever they are open, ART translates an application’s source code at initial installation stage, and it performs ahead-of-time processing.
Android Lollipop is the very first version with 64-bit support, which is expected to bring desktop-class CPU performance to the OS.
The core apps of Android are also 64-bit-native now, as is the Java engine on which many third party apps are built. Users won’t feel the difference immediately, but developers will. It will also allow device manufacturers to include some efficient processors, RAM, and GPUs.
