Android 5.0 System features full resolution

Android 5.0 Lollipop is one of the most anticipated product upgrades this year. It will bring a new design language, more user-friendly features, and the purest flavor of Google.

The recent release of Google Inbox, the new version of Gmail and today's release of the new Google Calendar, all make people realize the charm of material design. How much does Android 5.0 change from previous versions? Let's see what Engadget is saying.

　　Material Design

As Engadget says, Google plans to use material design in all of its products to make all products look unified--Unified visual design, unified visual feedback, and unified operating experience, making it easy for people to use the full range of Google products without feeling confused. The "card" for the design of the prototype material, I hope in the virtual world to simulate the physical world of the paper material feeling, but also has the flexibility and expansion of the characteristics, let it appear both smart and neat.

From the visual, interactive and animation three aspects to evaluate material Design, the animation of the top bar like a piece of paper from the original plane, while the other cards from all sides converge to form one, Google in the virtual world to build a few layers, so that cards, buttons and other visual elements on the top, It also uses shadows and space to highlight the content.

In addition, Google's designers have also changed the Roboto font, so that the font lines become more rounded, the glyphs become wider, to achieve a better reading experience. But this is only for English fonts, the changes in Chinese fonts have yet to be seen. And in terms of hue, Material design has become more colorful, in the Inbox experience, Google prefers to use different colors to prompt different information.

Under Material design, everyone is sure to know if they've pressed a button. Because each time a button is pressed, the button is raised, and a ripple-like animation is spread out from the middle of the button, giving the user a very clear feedback. So the user can know whether or not they have pressed something, they know that they have an unmistakable touch, or that they did not touch it at all.

As for animations, Google's designers simulate the physical rules of animation design, and the animation plays quickly, not slowing down the entire app, but is enough "modest", but compelling.

The first glimpse of Android 5.0, will feel its main interface (home screen) is quite different: the style of the following navigation keys have changed, become very much like the key of the PS console handle, the triangle is the return key, the circle is the home button, the square is a multi-task key The Google search bar is designed with material design and no longer becomes transparent.

　　Main interface

The left side of the main screen is still Google Now, the interface is similar to the past, but for example, reminders, settings and other customized buttons no longer stay at the bottom of the screen, but integrated in the left side of the interface "hamburger" menu. Google uses a lot of "hamburger" menus to unify the portals of functionality, leaving more space for content presentation.

The application drawer has not changed much, more materialdesign style

In the multitasking management interface, in addition to the most recently opened app, you can also view the recently opened Chrome tabs-while opening the few apps for ordinary people, this design is convenient, but for users who will open 20 or 30 apps, this design becomes cumbersome. Fortunately, Google provides a choice to go back to the old version of the multi-tasking interface.

　　Notification System

Android 5.0 's Notification menu incorporates "Quick Settings" and notification messages, which are drawn from top to bottom on the screen, the Notification menu first shows the latest notifications, and then continues to be able to pull the quick settings out, with options such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, brightness, flash, screen rotation, and more.

One of the design goals of Android 5.0 is to let people try not to be distracted. As reflected in the "notification menu" improvements, the "notifications" pop-up and display will be more concerned about what people are doing, rather than blunt interruption. For example, to receive a phone call, Android 5.0 is no longer a jump to the phone interface, but the screen above the "phone" card, the user will choose to answer or reject, but this phone card will not obscure the current screen display.

As with Android 4.0, Android 5.0 "notifications" are still operational, such as directly on the "mail" notification, or in the lock screen reply, also from the lock screen directly into the "mail" app. However, some people may not like the message, the content of the message directly on the lock screen, Google also provides the option to let the lock screen notification only "received a new message" such information.

In addition, Android 5.0 notifications become more controllable-users can directly disable notifications for certain apps in the system settings, as well as adjust notification display for certain apps to "priority", as if the app's notifications are displayed above the notification message, or in "Intrusion prevention Mode" Notification of the app is displayed below.

　　Anti-disturb mode and volume control

Speaking of "anti-disturb mode", Android 5.0 offers more options to adjust, such as users can set different "disturb" time, the different phones, reminders, appointments to stop the notification, you can also set the "whitelist" to see who can call during the "anti-disturb" period.

There are also improvements to the volume control details of Android 5.0, which now provide the user with none, priority, and all three options. If you choose None, it is no matter what the situation, the phone will not make a sound, choose priority, receive phone messages will have a bell, all this option, I believe there is no need to explain too much.

　　Performance

Now Android 5.0 allows a non-NEUXS 5 machine to use the "Ok,google" this all-in-one voice wake-up feature, as long as the phone contains a digital signal processor, but the difference with MotoX is that you can not self-create voice commands to start the phone quickly.

To improve the performance of the operating system, Android 5.0 supports 64-bit apps and hardware. Google says the system's built-in apps all contain 64-bit versions, and it also offers the new art (Android Runtime), which is turned on by default in the new version of Andorid. Google says it has improved its performance by 4 times times over the past.

In addition, Google's in-house development code-named Project Volta helps improve the power performance of Android devices. It will analyze what is affecting the power of the device and clean up those things that affect the system's effectiveness. It will also provide users with "power-saving mode", enter this mode will cut off the background active process, reduce performance and so on, you can save 15% of electricity.

　　Security

The security of Android has become more and more important due to more and more virus attacks. Android 5.0 introduces SELinux enforcing mode for continuous monitoring of systems and apps to ensure that the system does not have problems. In addition, any Android 5.0 device will be automatically encrypted for increased security.

Android 5.0 also introduces the smartlock feature to unlock the phone in other Bluetooth devices (smart watches, headphones, etc.), and it introduces "Guest Mode", which can be activated if a friend wants to use your phone but doesn't want him to see his privacy. You can also customize which features other people can use on your phone, such as banning phone calls, texting, or even launching certain apps in guest mode.
