Along with improving the notification bar, Google also improve the Quick Settings. In addition to allow quick setup options, Google also added the ability to automatic predictions and display fast options. However, this feature works badly, for example, instead of showing the option "Mobile Hotspot", the system displays the "Invert Colors". Unfortunately, it is enabled by default and cannot be turned off.
Above features are also integrated when clicking in the sharing menu. Here it works a bit better.
Another big addition is the "Priority Mode". This feature will operate through the volume up button, allowing announcements from the application as well as a list of contact options. You can also apply this feature for a certain period of time to avoid being bothered. It is similar to "Do Not Disturb" on iOS.
Google has allowed many user accounts active on Lollipop. A truly groundbreaking feature is" Guest Mode". You can convert your device into the "Guest Mode" at any time and the "guest" can do anything on this device include Google account login. This mode is also integrated private browsers, and extremely useful for users who borrow your phone for a while.
You can also set a password to prevent others from accessing the other applications. "Pin" an intuitive and easy-to-use feature will do it for you. This feature worked quite well when you let your child play some mini games such as "Cut The Rope" on your tablet.
Gmail app can be refreshed and displayed in the form of cards when pressing "Compose", then the email will appear in the form of multi-tasking nice cards
This function is also integrated in Chrome, but only on smartphone.
Gmail replaces Email and integrate with other email services. SMS app
"Messages" is great for those who do not like to use Hangouts. Calendar application also has a new interface. Many of the new Google software has been optimized for tablet and display good on Nexus 9.
Google also adds "Tap and Go", using NFC to transfer account information from one device to another device. This feature just only transfer the list of Google accounts to install the app on another device. This is definitely an improvement over previous Android, however, "Tap and Go" has not yet reached the level of protection user’s data when comparing to new iOS device.
We can say Google has borrowed some ideas in Battery Saver mode from Android manufacturers when limiting background tasks. When the device runs out of battery, the App Menu bar menu will turn to automatic mode in orange to save the power.
Overall, although there are some minor bugs and errors, Android 5.0 Lollipop is a major updated version with drastic changes and useful features. . Unfortunately, updating version for Android devices is a problem. However, some manufacturers have also announced plans to update the system for their new products this year.
