This Friday comes out version 5.0 of Google Android, the world’s most popular operating system. But what is expected of Lollipop
According to Google the new design and new features make an upgrade “impact.”
Lollipop and replaces KitKat, which came out last year, and comes promising more security, longer battery, the ability to use multiple user accounts and give more control over the management of notifications.
The Android operating system overwhelmingly dominates the global market, retain almost 85% of all smartphones, according to 2014 data from research firm IDC.
It is followed by far Apple’s iOS operating system, with 11.7%, phones Windows, with 2.5% and finally Blackberry, struggling, with just a 0.5% market share.
Lollipop will be accessible to experts from Friday October 16 through Website Developer Android.
The idea is that the brains behind the applications can tune their products ahead of the official launch Android Lollipop, which will be on November 3, when new Google Nexus devices Nexus Player 9 and go on sale.
We present three keys to know what to expect from the latest treat from Google.
For many users the most striking of Lollipop will be your new look, based on a new paradigm that Google has defined as “physical design.”
This concept puts a renewed emphasis on using graphical animations and color changes in response to user actions.
According to its director Hiroshi engineering Lockheimer these animations are much more than a mere “pleasure for the eyes.”
“They are very interesting visual cues that help the user understand what is happening within the program,” he said.
Another change is that Lollipop offers greater customization of how you want to receive notifications.
Users can choose which ones should be prioritized and show up on the list and on the other hand do not want to see what the display when the phone is locked.
The idea behind is that the user can handle the volume of informaicón according to your preferences.
In addition, notifications now appear at the top screen instead of the center to avoid interrupting other ongoing activities, like playing a video game.
Another interesting features that come with Lollipop is called “smart lock”.
This functionality allows you to determine a location such as home or office, or connecting to a Bluetooth device such as a smart watch or keyboard as a trigger to disable the need to enter the security key.
The Lollipop Android uses a different process to run code, called Art runtime .
A consequence of this change, Dalvik runtime to Art runtime, the applications should run a little faster and should consume less battery power, if they are optimized to work with the new code.
It also means that the Android operating system can take advantage of the processors 64-bit that have the potential to support more RAM.
According to Hiroshi Lockheimer users should notice less glitches with this change.
Lockheimer told the BBC that the objectives of his team is making Android more attractive to the business sector.
“If you think about it, most people only take one device,” he said.
” That one device should he run for various scenarios of his life, obviously for personal use but also for corporate objectives if they wish, “he added.
” We wanted to ensure that Lollipop is designed so that the corporate world as you are backing up. “
An example, he said, is the possibility that the user can use two” personalities “in a single device, a personal and other work, and the ability to switch between other easily.
The two “personalities” make various applications to access different types of data stored on the phone.
So, for example, that the company’s employee could monitor the content of the work personality of the device but not the other.
The Blackberry 10 and Knox Samsung pioneered this idea.
In addition, Lockheimer believes determining default encrypt all data stored will increase the safety of users.
Another Android features with which hopes to capture the attention of users more “business” It is the ability to put the device in “do not disturb” for a predetermined period of time.
With this, Lollipop wants to minimize the risk of miss a call or important announcement after a meeting is over for having forgotten to return to change the setting.
“Given the downturn in the market Blackberry, there is a great chance to win enterprise customers,” said Jack Kent, the consulting firm IHS.
“Apple has also been trying with the iPhone and iPad,” he said
