All About Android 5.0 - Lollipop

Android 5.0 - Lollipop

Android arrives on screens big and small – from phones and tablets to watches, TVs and cars. Lollipop has a bold visual style and the fluid tactile response of Material Design.


Material design

Android gets an entirely new look and feel that makes it easier to navigate your device. Based on shadows and motion, Material Design unites the classic principles of good design with the innovation of what’s possible through technology.

Multiscreen

With Lollipop you can seamlessly move from your phone to your tablet, Android Wear watch or Android TV. Since Lollipop works on all your devices, you can pick up where you left off with songs, apps, photos and even recent searches.


Notifications

Notifications move to the lock screen where they appear in neatly segmented cards. Catch up at a glance, or even view and respond to messages directly from your lock screen. Granular controls let you customise the content appearing on your lock screen.


Android History from Wikipedia

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
