Google has announced the Android version 5.0 version called the Android Lollipop. The new version has a completely revamped UI which uses the Material Design concepts to offer major visual enhancements.

The entire process makes the content intuitively responsive to the users touch or even voice.

The Android Lollipop version also brings along with new colours, icons and animations which offer easier navigation while making it very intuitive.

This version is said to focus on the battery life of the devices and has a new battery saver feature that extends the life of your device by up to 90 minutes. It also provides more control over notification by even allowing to limit them in certain cases.
