Some interface elements have a learning curve
Strange pauses and lags
Animation can be overbearing
Design is a little rough around the edges
Some UI elements can be confusing
Limited multipane support in landscape mode
And no splitscreen multitasking
Some users will lament lack of lock screen widgets
It seems like only yesterday we were sinking our teeth into the chocolatey goodness of Android 4.4 KitKat, but now we've got a newer, tastier version of Google's OS in the form of Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's one of the most exciting updates in years - ne...
Still missing certain features, Camera app underpowered
Android Lollipop is the best platform Google has cooked up by far – surpassing what I'd have expected for the next step up of the OS. While it's still a bit bland and doesn't pack the whizz and pop of iOS 8, that's not really the point of this naked OS. ...
Abstract: The main difference for Android Lollipop is the revised design; Material Design, as it's known, is not simply an aesthetic overhaul (although that is indeed a big part of it) as it also directly affects the way you interact with the software. Android Loll...

Overall, Android 5.0 is very impressive and you should certainly download it when an update is available for your device. More than ever, it's a viable alternative for hardened iOS fans who are fed up with Apple's restrictions.Tags:AndroidBest prices toda...
Still missing certain features, Camera app underpowered
Android Lollipop is a charming visual update that shows a sensible deviation from the new direction Google put forward in the 'Google Now' interface it introduced with the Nexus 5. It looks and feels good.However, it relies more on having good base hardwa...

New animations are consistent, adds lots of refinement, notifications are enhanced, great use of punchy colours
Some design inconsistencies remain, media volume controls, early app incompatibilities
