Android Samsung Lollipop is a mobile OS which was created by Google in 2014. It spans from 5.0 to 5.1.1 versions which are supported by security patches. 


More about Lollipop Android 5.0


a)     Interface


Android 5.0 Lollipop was a major update that succeeded Android 4.4 KitKat and its most significant change is the software's appearance. Not all changes bring a dramatic shift in how Android feels but the interface design does and this is notable when connected to a PC with kies for Samsung.


Google named this new design "Material" and apart from modifying the appearance, it added:


       Realistic lighting

       Shadows

       Natural motion

       Responsiveness


b)    Other features


Samsung Lollipop 5.0 has a renewed notification system. Each notification is shown on cards adhering to the material design language. Groups of notifications can be grouped by the app which produced them.


Notifications get displayed as cards on the lockscreen and head up notification may also be shown as huge banners across the screen top together with their action buttons.  The do-not-disturb feature is also included for notifications.


Samsung update also has main new platform developers' features with more than five thousand new APIs included for use by applications. For instance, with Samsung kies 3 download, it is possible to save images from your PC in a raw image format.



c)     Performance


It is not only about its surface visuals, but the update is so different from the past version. It is much less ultra-snappy compared to KitKat (it feels smooth and not instantaneous).


This feels awesome when using the right phone. However, if you have used other Lollipop phones to play casinos online and carry out other activities, the software may seem to operate against most lower-end phones.


During Android KitKat season, as long as a phone had a RAM 1GB and a quad core CPU (Snapdragon 400 for instance) and Samsung kies for s6, good performance was guaranteed. Any serious lag was the fault of customizations done by the manufacturer, for instance, a layer of lumpy custard over system cogs.


But that is not the case anymore. Most 1GB RAM mobile phones have suffered from lag even many Moto series and Motorola phones which in the past gave excellent performance in their class.



d)    Updates since the release of Android Lollipop 5.0


It has not changed that much since it got released. It looks beautiful on the surface as it has always been.


There have been 4 core Android updates:


      5.0.1

      5.0.2

      5.1

      5.1.1.


The 5.1 system update did not change the system radically however it added some features such as:


       HD video calling.

       Security tweak which blocks the phone even when it has been reset.

       A tweak on the way notification menu settings toggles function.

       The way volume buttons function (this is the most crucial change).


Conclusion


Lollipop Android 5.0 marks a different direction for Android which is quite sensible.



No, it is not a typo and you read it right; Ringing Bells is an Indian company that's selling the world's cheapest smartphone, starting on February 18, at 6 AM Indian Standard Time. The Android phone has been named Freedom 251 because it is going to be priced at INR 251 or roughly $4 in accordance with the international exchange rate right now. As you might have already guessed, it's exclusive to Indian citizens only.


The phone will be powered by a 1.3GHz quad core chipset and 1GB of RAM. In addition to an in-built memory of 8GB, you can further expand storage up to 32GB with a SD card. The (960x540) qHD 4" display doesn't really sound amazing until you are reminded of the fact that the entire phone costs $4! The Freedom 251 will also feature a 3.2 megapixel rear camera and a 0.3 megapixel front camera to help in minor photographic endeavors. All other standard features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and even GPS connectivity are present. A 1,450mAh battery will be providing juice to all this and according to reports, handsfree headsets will be included.


If you are dumbfounded like us and wondering how it is possible for the company to sell a smartphone at this price, then be informed that it is an initiative by the Indian government which is being led by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. It is being launched today by Manohar Parrikar, the Indian Defence Minister (7 PM IST). This is an effort in making smartphones affordable for anyone and everyone in India, thus promoting growth and modernisation.

Lollipop-51-youmobile

 

We already reported before about the Memory Leak bug in the Android 5.1 Lollipop and that Google promised to fix once and for all in the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop. Today, Android SDK Manager added Android 5.1.1 build, which confirms that Google is getting ready to release the update.

 

Android Developers and users are eagerly awaited the 5.1.1 release to fix this bug. Google has acknowledged that the leak existed, but also posted that the necessary repairs had been made. Google did not have everything ready to go for Android 5.1, which is why the Android 5.1.1 update is so important to many Android users. We might also see the addition of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) which would allow users to tap into a Wi-Fi network to communicate over a Google owned VPN.

 

5.1.1 sdk

 

It's only a matter of days until we see some Nexus Factory images for the 5.1.1 build available for download. Over-the-air updates to 5.1.1 will also come as early as next month. Stay tuned!

Lollipop 5.1

 

Google officially released Android 5.1 Lollipop with many Big fixes to the original 5.0 Build. The New version improves stability and performance and offers a few new features like support for multiple SIM cards, Device Protection and high definition (HD) voice on compatible phones. You can also Download all Android 5.1 stock Apps APKs to try them.

 

We gathered a list of the New features and full change-log of this New Android version to make it clear for you. Manufactures (HTC, Samsung, LG... etc) will start developing their firmwares based on this build by Q2,2015 to update their devices.



What's New in Android 5.1 Lollipop ?

 

 

1. The LED notification light now works in all modes

notification LED

One of the first new features that we stumbled upon was that the LED notification light now lights up for incoming notifications regardless of what sound mode your phone is in (None, Priority, or All). As you probably know, Android 5.0.x. only allowed the LED to flash in the All mode.


2. Improved Wi-Fi quick toggle

wifi

In Android 5.0.x Lollipop, once you tapped on the the text right below the Wi-Fi toggle (which displays the name of the network you're connected to), you were automatically taken to the dedicated Wi-Fi selection menu in Settings. In Android 5.1, tapping the network's name opens a Wi-Fi selection menu directly inside the notification shade.


3. Improved Bluetooth quick toggle

Similar to the Wi-Fi toggle, tapping the text right below the Bluetooth icon will open a dedicated notification shade menu displaying the nearby Bluetooth devices that have been paired with your phone. Have in mind that this new menu doesn't allow you to scan for available devices in order to do so, you'll still have to head on to the Bluetooth menu in Settings. Hence, you don't have to leave your current app in order to switch between your paired Bluetooth devices.


4. Improved lock screen behavior

In Android 5.1, when your device is locked and you swipe down the notification shade, you can unlock your phone by swiping up outside said shade. If you, however, swipe up within the notification settings, your phone will remain locked. That's a subtle change over Android 5.0.x, in which you'll be taken directly to the lock screen regardless whether you swipe from within or outside the expanded quick settings shade.



5. Removable Invert Colors/Wi-Fi Hotspot toggles

If you've been fiddling and tinkering with Android 5.0 Lollipop, you might have inadvertently added two toggles in the quick settings toggle menu - Invert Colors and Wi-Fi Hotspot. This happens by simply trying out these features and unfortunately, once you enable them, you can't remove the respective toggles from the quick settings drawer. Luckily, Android 5.1 allows you to do so once these pop up, just press and hold the respective toggles and once the dialog appears, tap "Hide".


6. More user-friendly screen pinning

The screen pinning feature that debuted with Lollipop comes in handy, but somewhat unfinished and not that user-friendly. In the newest version of the OS, the feature acts just like as it previously did, but enabling it is much more user-friendly. Open the app you want to pin, go to the app switcher, press the pin icon on the first app card, and voila, a better-looking menu will inform you that you are about to pin the given app.


7. Improved heads-up notifications

Once you receive a notification and it pops up right at the top of your display, you can now swipe it up to get rid of the heads-up message but keep the notification itself in the notification bar. In the first Lollipop, you can only swipe it away to the left or right, dismissing both the heads-up message and the notification.


8. No interruptions until next alarm

alarm

This is actually a quite handy addition to Priority mode: if you set an alarm, you'll be provided with the option to enable priority mode until the alarm goes off. In our case, we've set an alarm for 4:23 PM and have enabled the newly-included option, meaning that we'll only be interrupted by the priority interruptions that you have previously configured.
