Ten new features of Android 5.0 (lollipop)

 

 

 

1. The brand-new Material Design style Android Lollipop brand-new Design language is influenced by many factors and is a bold flat innovation. In other words, Google hopes to make Material Design give users a paper-based experience. The new visual language draws on the basic graphic design specifications of traditional printing design, font layout, grid system, space, proportion, color scheme, and image use. In addition, Material Design also advocates the concept of entity metaphor, and uses the texture of the surface and edge of the entity to create visual clues, so that users can feel the truth. The familiar touch allows users to quickly understand and recognize. In the design, material can be used flexibly to create different user experiences based on physical laws. The last is meaningful and more reasonable dynamic effects, in order to attract the user's attention and maintain the continuous experience of the entire system.

 

2. Supports various devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, Smart TVs, automobiles, smart watches, and even various household electronic products, google's Android system can appear on the screens of all devices. This concept coincides with Microsoft. Microsoft also announced that it would create Windows 10 as a cross-device and cross-platform unified system to help itself out of the predicament.

 

3. The brand-new notification center design Google has added a brand-new notification system to Android Lollipop. The improved notification system first displays important information for users and hides less urgent content. You only need to slide down to view all the notification content. Another cool new feature of the new notification system is that you can directly view notification messages on the screen lock page. In addition, the user can reply to or enter the application directly when the screen is locked. In addition, if there is a phone entry during the operation of the mobile phone, the full screen switch will not be performed, but the user will be notified by pop-up notification.

 

4. The new system that supports 64-bit ART virtual machines not only brings huge changes in the visual effect, but also a great leap in the internal performance of Android Lollipop. First, the new system abandoned the Dalvik virtual machine that had been used before, and switched to the ART mode to implement real cross-platform compilation, which is everywhere in ARM, X86, MIPS, etc. The ART virtual machine compiler significantly improves memory usage and application loading time, and Google promises that all performance will be doubled from the original. In addition, the 64-bit support also makes the ART virtual machine such as fish, developers can develop applications for the 64-bit architecture such as ARM Cortex-A57 core. Android Lollipop supports larger registers, new instruction sets, and memory addressing space. In the future, Android smartphones will support more than 4 GB of memory.

 

5. The Project Volta battery life improvement plan the Project Volta plan has added new tools that allow developers to easily find out why their applications have a big impact on power usage, at the same time, ensure that the impact of cell phone power is minimized when a task is executed. First, Battery Historian can list the details of cell phone power consumption and help developers identify the reason for power consumption or the hardware or task that has a greater impact on Battery life; the Job Scheduler API allows developers to easily choose the right time to trigger tasks with high power consumption and avoid updating applications when the power is low or the charging is not completed. The above is an improvement for developers. at the user level, Android Lollipop has added the Battery Saver mode, which is similar to the super power-saving mode on Samsung and HTC. When the power is low, the system automatically reduces the screen brightness, limits the automatic background replacement, and other functions.

 

6. In addition to the changes in the interface style design, the new "Recent Application" also draws on the Chrome browser concept and adopts a separate Label display method. More importantly, Google has opened APIs to developers, so third-party developers can use this improvement to add new features to specific applications.

7. Improving security now, personal recognition and unlocking is a new smart concept. When a user's Bluetooth headset is connected to a mobile phone or tablet, the device can be automatically unlocked based on the current location or the user's voice. For example, when a specific smart watch appears near an Android device, it directly bypasses the screen lock page. Android Lollipop also adds this unlock mode for specific features. In other words, when the device does not detect any nearby trusted device, the security mode is enabled to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, Android Lollipop also enables the system data encryption function by default and runs applications through SELinux, which means that the new system is more secure for malware.

 

8. Independent storage of different data Google said Android Lollipop will have a new feature that allows users to complete all their work, life, and entertainment activities with one device. This feature first saves various types of data independently and provides a basis for the creation of all new data. We have seen that Google has strengthened cooperation with Samsung, including the fact that Samsung's Knox security system can store important data separately like Android Lollipop. In addition, Google allows support for Android devices other than Samsung.

9. Improved Search Google focuses on "rediscovering" the Search function of the new system, which means Google Search will be better aware of what users are doing. For example, the system automatically filters irrelevant search results based on the user's current location. In addition, when you search for an application, you can directly display similar or partial prompts, and enter a specific application without entering all the content.

10. New API support, other features such as Bluetooth 4.1, USB Audio, and multiplayer sharing Android Lollipop also provide multiple new API support, Bluetooth 4.1, USB Audio external speaker, and multi-person sharing functions. The Multi-User Sharing function allows you to log on to your account using other Lollipop devices when your mobile phone is lost. You can download contacts, calendars, and other information from the cloud without affecting the content of other devices.
