Android OS- Module 9

10: Android lollipop ( Android 5.0)

Last but not the least ,the latest android which was realised to the market on June 25, 2014  named it as Android lollipop is attracting all the people towards it either by its name or features or both. Lollipop has the best UI among all the versions of android with lots of animations in it and one interesting feature in it and that is you have a guest account in it same as like PC’s and laptops have, not only this it has a lot more in it that I am going to explain.

It can support 64-bit CPU,support for print previews, also has a refreshed notification tray followed by the quick settings which you will see when you will use it,project volta for battery life improvements,one more interesting feature is there that is recently used applications are remembered even after rebooting the device, now if by mistake or due to a low battery state your phone got switched off then there’s nothing to worry about you can resume it, power saving mode is so powerful now that when you do not have a charger with you, you can rely on that.

One more strong feature is there that is device protection : when your phone is stole or lost then only the user can open it by logging in with his ID And it will not be unlocked without ID   even if you do a factory reset But for lollipop the hardware requirements are a little bit higher. The involved new feature of providing notification called heads up notification i.e notification like call, message and all pop up on top like a small bar while you’re using your phone. They updated the document centric recent button.Developers made possible to integrate your OS with your health, lollipop introduced heart beat sensor which was a great innovation.

The different version and updates for lollipop are
Android 5.0, Android 5.1

Features:

• Increased Performance
• Improved Battery Saving and management
• Updated UI with new 3D view
• 64-bit Architecture
• Heads Up notification
• Bluetooth Low energy
• Improvised Graphics as well as Audio control.
• Chromium Webview
• Job Scheduling for Effective power sharing .

Even if these features look good, lollipop is still full of bugs and bugs. i personally have lollipop 5.02 which need serious debugging .

That’s all for the Android Generations 😀

As explained earlier , Android names are in alphabetical order, now we are waiting for some Android M ,
M can be munch or may be Maggie as nestle need to relaunch Maggie and this is the best platform for relaunch.lol
