Lollipop
Android 5.0 : Google is innovating and catching up
The
list of new features does not stop there. The curious can go take a look at the
Google site. All of these features will allow Google to catch up with manufacturers;
some of the manufacturers already incorporated some functions that can be found
in Android 5.0 Lollipop. Other features not found anywhere in the Android world
for the moment (including things like the remote Client or improved performance)
and now Google have better weapons to deal with Apple iOS 8.
Enhanced
safety
and the appearance of a kill switch
Security
will be at the heart of Android 5.0 Lollipop . By default, data encryption is
enabled on all devices, useful for protecting personal data in case of theft or
loss of the phone.
The
kill switch finally makes its appearance in stock Android. This feature had been
already implemented by some manufacturers, but the laws of certain countries
will make it mandatory in the next few months. If you reset the device, the
user must enter the password associated with the device.
Multitasking
Is Now "Recents", Now Includes Chrome Tabs
"OK,
Google" Now Works Even When Your Phone Is Off
It
apparently needs hardware support, which suggests for currently it'll be
restricted to the Nexus 6 and Nexus nine. However, any device with a support
for "digital signal processing" will use this Moto X-like feature.
