Far from any expectation, the version is packed with several new features for users and thousands of new APIs for developers. Therefore, Android can extend even further, from smartphones, tablets, and also smart wearables, to smart TVs and smart cars.
Firstly, we have to mention about the new design on Android 5.0, called as "Material Design " . The changes in design of Lollipop can compare with the changes in the design of Apple's iOS 7 last year. Both operating systems have been changing all the terms of the interface, use multiple layers effects as well as the interactive ideas between the layers of the interface.
Lollipop owns skeuomorphism style where digital elements are simulated from reality. This is Google's vision of the future digital industry.
When using the new Android 5.0 for the first time, you will find this version completely different form the previous Android version.
All angles, colors and lighting effects have been completely replaced with subtle colors to create a softer feeling when being used. The previous Android went along with the animation effects and random discrete. Now it is simpler and has more interactive functions on screen.
Animation effects are one of the most notable points of Lollipop. Transition effects appear when we move from multitasking screen to home screen, access applications, switch between applications, move position ...Everything becomes more harmonious than ever .
However, the version of Android 5.0 is not totally strange. All the core elements, for example the dashboard application, notification bar, lock screen or screen widgets and Google Now remain the same. For new users, the Lollipop made smartphone use become simpler than ever.
However, Lollipop also becomes somewhat over colorful. Similar to the interface on the Apple iPhone, Google has decided to add a lot of colors for different parts of the interface. App Menu using bold red, green and blue but not suitable for motion effects.
For first time users of Lollipop, you may find interesting effects on the operating system, but when you have become more familiar, these effects may cause adverse effects that lead time consuming which is very annoying.
Android still provides various interfaces for the selected text and cut/ copy/paste text and icons. Besides, text option is unfriendly and confusing, not to mention the very small size of these icons . Anyway, that's just some minor problems. Lollipop Android version is still a breakthrough and it is the biggest update in the recent years of the operating system for mobile from Google.
Not only change the design, Lollipop also adds many new features. Notification bar is the biggest change, which is able to temporarily replace Homescreen you can reply to messages, calls and options E - mail directly. In addition, users can receive and reply to messages, including email, text messages, missed calls are just outside the lock screen.
Moreover, users have the right to set up privacy settings so the current application can not notify on the lock screen. Notification calls to no longer occupy the entire screen again, instead of appearing in a corner at the top of the screen.
