Android L / 5.0: Major Changes and Updates
Android fans are looking forward the release of Android L, the latest OS that Google is set to release. However, the release is yet to come, as Google’s still making sure that everything will go according to their plans. The release date of the OS is set in the coming weeks or months, and Android fans are getting more excited. According to estimations, it will be released to the public in the fall season, fully synchronized with the release of its newest version of the Nexus.
Beginning with the Android L, Google will start with major changes and updates with their system. Its name might even be ‘Lemon Meringue Pie,’ or Android 5.0 LMP.
Early this year, it was rumored that Google will release the Android Silver, meant to replace its Nexus products. However, these rumors were dismissed by a Google employee, officially cutting all the rumors surrounding its release. After its dismissal, Nexus rumors started building up once again, and it seems that these would really be released in the upcoming months.
An online community tweeted in mid-September that the Nexus 9 will be launched in the 16th of this month, and it was further proven with two trustworthy tech publications writing that its release date is “very close.”
With these, Android followers can expect for the Android 5.0 L to roll out early November.
It has been redesigned to use the revamped interface called Material Design, a more animated and colorful interface that uses 3D effects and shadows. It lets users see where everything comes from, and where it goes.
The newest update also has performance and battery life enhancements that are some of the most common problems with other carriers. It is reported that it could have battery life improvements of 30 to 40 percent.
Its notification panel has big improvements aside from its color scheme and transparent background. Adjustments to the panel can be done, which would be more convenient to its present users. Its Dynamic Status Bar could change its color based on the action bar of the opened app, all the while staying as the same transparent built that it is.
