As expected, Google announced its new version of Android, along with Nexus 9 tablet, Nexus 6 smartphone and Nexus Player set-up box.

With more than 5,000 new APIs for developers, Android 5.0 Lollipop is Google's most ambitious release since the mobile platform made its debut back in 2008.

The most popular mobile operating system to date, Android is now focusing on flexibility and personalization options. Even though it's considered by many the most customizable mobile platform, Android 5.0 Lollipop focuses on convergence.

Once again, Google is trying to bring on the market a product that could be used on multiple devices of different categories, such as phones, tablets and TVs.

Lollipop has been especially designed to offer users the possibility to pick up where they left off, “so the songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed across all the other ones.”

The focus of Android 5.0 is on smoother transition from one screen to another, so users can experience the same feel on either devices mentioned earlier.

In this regard, Google has created a consistent design across all compatible devices, which is called Material Design. This will allow for smoother transitions between tasks and more intuitive ways to interact with your devices.

More control over devices is another improvement Google has added into Lollipop, which allows users to adjust their settings so that only certain people and notifications get through. Moreover, you will be able to see an important notification directly on the lockscreen.
