Android 5.0 Lollipop (2014)
Android 5.0 Lollipop was first launched in the fall of 2014. It had many
improvements in the area of overall look of the OS. It was the first version of
Android which used Google’s new Material Design Language, which made
use of lighting and shadow effects, among other things, to simulate a paper-
like look for the Android user interface. This UI of Lollipop had some more
changes like a revamped navigation bar, rich notifications for the lockscreen
and many more. The Android 5.1 update brought few more changes like
official support for dual-SIM, HD voice calls and device protection to keep
thieves keep out of your phone even after a factory reset. Google’s Nexus 6
smartphone and Nexus 9 tablet were the first devices to have a Lollipop
installed. Right now, Android 5.0 is being used by about 29% of all the
Android devices in use today.
