Smartphones are an integral part of our life. There is hardly anyone who doesn’t use a smartphone. Google made a wise decision when it first attempted to make an operating platform that made the dream of a smartphone come to life. The first version of the open source software was released back in 2008. The OS along with its launch device, HTC Hero was received very positively by the reviewers. Since then many versions have been released, each providing much better functionality than the latter. And now a new release is being expected. The Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Lollipop is a bundle full of surprises. It has many new features in the bag that will make the handling of a smartphone much more advanced, easy and interactive. One of the most important new features that has been spotted so far is that WebView is now a separate package, which can be updated straight from Google. This means that a larger number of users will have access to an up-to-date WebView, leading to greater security that the built-in variant. The most obvious change in Lollipop is the fresh design aesthetic, called Material Design. It uses a lot of bright, rich colors and adds depth with shadows to give Android a sleeker, more minimal look. Material Design is a new design interface that is notable for its flatter icons and its physics-based animations that will give both Android apps and the platform itself a smoother and more consistent user experience. Though Google is yet to officially announce the release date for its recently unveiled Android 5.0 Lollipop, reports claim that it might happen in the first week of November. However, only a few devices are expected to get the update. Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be made available to Wi-Fi versions of 2012 and 2013 Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 on 3 November, but cellular devices like the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and 2013 Nexus 7 with LTE will take a little longer for the firmware update, reported Android Police citing reliable sources.
