Earlier this week Google announced and fully revealed the new Android 5.0 Lollipop software update for Android to replace the aging Android 4.4 KitKat which debuted in November of 2013. The first device to run Google’s new OS is the Nexus 9 which will be released on November 3rd, but today a developer preview of the final Android 5.0 Lollipop release was made available to select few.
Those with the Nexus 5 or 2013 WiFi Nexus 7 and are willing to flash some software, are able to get the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop Developer Preview today. Naturally we’ve flashed the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop update to our own Nexus 5, and have a lot to say about it.
Google first revealed a small sample of Android L back in June at its annual developer event, and we gotsome hands-on time with that release too, but today is nearly the final version of Android that will hit multiple devices in early November. Over the past few hours we’ve spent some time with the final Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the first time, and have a few thoughts regarding our initial impressions, and device performance on the Nexus 5.
We’ve only been enjoying the latest Android 5.0 release for a few hours since Google released the system images for developers this morning, but with more than half a day of usage, we already have found plenty to love about Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Before we start talking about some of the features, new functions, look and feel and more you’ll want to start by checking out the Android 5.0 Lollipop announcement post, as we go over most of the new features there.
