New update Android 5.1. Among other innovations, the new version adds support for several SIM-cards and function Device Protection, similar Activation Lock the iPhone.

Google released Android 5.1 – the first major upgrade platform Android Lollipop, launched late last year. Its two main new features are support  devices and protection function Device Protection.

Manufacturers produce Android smartphones with support for two or three SIM-cards for years. However, in the Android operating system to date, support for more than one slot for SIM-card has not been provided, and vendors have to pre-install additional software to implement the ability to work with more than one SIM-card. Now present in support of the platform, including the adaptation of the graphical interface.

In turn, Device Protection allows you to block access to the data on the device in case of loss or theft loss. When enabled, the user thief or the person who found the device will not be able to unlock it until you enter the password of your Google account of the owner. Restoring factory settings can not unlock access, added to Google.

Device Protection – Google’s response to Apple’s feature called Activation Lock («Lock activation”), which it launched about a year ago. When the Activation Lock, if the device falls into the wrong hands, the new owner of not be able to disable the device search for GPS Find My iPhone («Find iPhone») and not be able to configure it to work with another account Apple. In June 2014 in the pages of New York Times published an article that introduced a new feature to help reduce the number of thefts iPhone in London, San Francisco and New York, 24%, 38% and 19%, respectively.

In addition, Android 5.1 adds support for HD sound quality in video calls. But it must be supported by and is irrelevant to Russia. Also in the panel Quick Settings («Quick Settings”), new features for managing connections over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

It is expected that the owners of devices Nexus, in particular, Nexus 4, Nexus and Nexus 7, 5 (2013), will receive the update to Android 5.1 Lollipop today, 10 March. Availability of other devices will depend on the manufacturer. Function Device Protection will be available on the Nexus and Nexus 6 and 9 on the new devices coming out on the market with Android 5.1.

Version of Android Lollipop, published in late 2014, was the largest platform upgrade during its existence. In addition to the new GUI Material Design, medium change was run Java-based applications that enhance productivity and improve the power consumption, and has been redesigned notification system.

Once in November 2014 and the release of Android Lollipop, the public began to gradually get acquainted with the new concept of Google Material Design. It creates difficulties for developers , who will have to adapt to a new approach, but at the same time brings with it new opportunities. Designers and technologists do not get tired to praise the new “design language”, which is based on completely different than before, and the principles of design styles. What is so good Material Design?

On the resource WIRED were outlined the benefits that gives Material Design. At first glance, it is somewhat unusual. The lack of clutter items, surplus “ornaments” and the fullness of the screen.

Visualization of the details in the new design is exquisite. Technical details of the majority of users are not very interesting, and probably will enjoy the bright colors, large picture elements and their depth.

Interface – a brand

Ultimately, the user’s interaction with any device reduced to digital interface. Yes, based on the physical devices are completely made of plastic or metal, but in the end user has to operate so that the “done” of pixels, for example, weather applications or text editors. It is these sets of pixels and determine the impressions which will get the user from interacting with devices of any brand. Therefore, the pixels are in and of themselves can be branded.

Material Design It defines the feelings that arise from the user of the brand Google. This is the main objective and the basic meaning of a new design approach. It should be noted that this approach once brought extraordinary popularity of Apple, because all elements of its devices – and software and hardware – are perceived as a whole rather than as a “quilt” assembled from not always combined with each other fragments . Users of Android-devices impression depended not so much on most mobile operating system, but on the particular device and its manufacturer.

The overall design for all applications

Those restrictions imposed on the imagination of developers of applications within Material Design, are a response to two well-known fact:

– If the developer will be able to spoil the user interface, it will do it;

– Alternative to good design is bad design.

If the application looks ugly thing, most often, not at a screen resolution, and that the details of the interface is not considered.

Of course, there are many beautiful applications. Nevertheless uniformity interface will not only avoid bad design, but also appreciate the lack of users need to separately study the characteristics of each mobile program.

Evolution of design Google

It should be noted that the Material Design, whose influence is felt in the updated interface store Google Play, created from scratch. Careful observers have noted that in recent years the design decisions search giant began to change. In 2011, the postal service Gmail has been redesigned. Buttons flattened. The interface is characterized by the absence of overcrowding elements.

In 2012, Google Now there were laminated “map”. Thus, such a substantial change in design approach did not start today.

Thus, due to “the materialization of design” reduced the differences between the appearance of the operating system Android on various devices. Interface applications will also become more uniform, which will allow users to easily explore their mobile devices. What, in your opinion, will change the world of mobile electronics with the massive arrival of the Material Design on users’ devices?

Today we know for sure that the flagship with the top-end filling necessarily worth more than $ 650. In many respects it is a merit OnePlus and their powerful, yet affordable smartphone. It seems that just completely out of nowhere they have a competitor. The company offers its superpower xodiom smartphone for super accessible price.

Important: Many resources suggest a novelty in a very positive way. I would like to join colleagues from 9to5Google wary and do a little caution. At the moment, neither the manufacturer, nor the product cannot say anything bad. However, on its website, which does not even provide contact information, they only accept payment with Bitcoin or bank transfer. Real photos of the smartphone remain to be seen. All this is a red light, when suddenly you get the idea to make a purchase. Better to wait for more information.

The new “killer champions”, xodiom – met!

So, what kind of xodiom? It is about a 5.5-inch smartphone with QHD SuperAMOLED-display. It works on a quad Snapdragon 805 with 3 GB of RAM. There are models with 32 and 64 gigabytes of internal memory. It expands. 16-megapixel main and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, 3200mAh battery capacity and the price to $ 399 – it all sounds fabulous. Just fantastic, what seems OnePlus One . Stated that xodiom smartphone runs on latest version Amdroid 5.0 Lollipop, decorated with shell called xOS.

Housing xodiom, according to the description, even thinner than OnePlus One. It supports LTE. The camera is equipped with autofocus and optical image stabilization. Display smartphone protected glass Gorilla Glass 3, and the smartphone is protected from dust and moisture. This smartphone is even able to shoot slow-motion-video in 4K-resolution. Intrigued? Welcome to products webpage. It is expected that it will be delivered on January 5 next year. But do not hurry with the order. Everything is suspiciously perfect.

Most likely, you’re like the majority of users of the mobile operating system from Google, is still waiting for the appearance of the upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop for your device. The thing is that the “candy” not in a hurry to spread around the world. Lollipop did not even hit the monthly report on the prevalence of versions of “green robot” for December, which is obviously talking about insignificant percentage of devices operating under its control. Meanwhile, Google has released version Android 5.0.1.

According to Androidcentral, Google released a version of the AOSP – Android 5.0.1 release 1 build number LRX22C. Obviously, this is a minor update, which introduces only a few corrections. Nevertheless, what exactly has been changed, it is still unclear.

Members meet Nexus Android 5.0.1

To look into the help system images, published for several Nexus-devices official website Google developer. To be precise, we are talking about the Nexus 9 (Wi-Fi), Nexus July 2013 (Wi-Fi) and Nexus 10.

It is noteworthy that users Nexus 6, as well as owners of older Nexus-smartphones, “candy” not given. Perhaps the update is due solely to the tablet.

Androidauthority also suggests that this release may be the reason for the slow spread of the fifth version of Android. By analogy with how many phones missed version 4.4.3 and immediately got an upgrade to 4.4.4.

In any case, in the near future Android 5.0.1 should see more information.

Our first mobile phones were made in Europe. German Siemens, the Finnish Nokia and Sweden’s Ericsson ruled the ball. Now around one Samsung, LG, HTC, Lenovo, Xiaomi and other products of Asian companies. All of them are similar to each other, and many are somewhat similar to iPhone. But the Germans did not give up! Preparing to release a German smartphone that cannot be compared with anything in terms of both design and performance. Now we describe in detail Linshof i8.

In Linshof outside the box came to the design of their future smartphone. It can truly be called non-traditional, as well as all that will be said below about i8. This smartphone will not find anything familiar. It branded user interface and features that are confusing. Read more about them Linshof told to PhoneArena.

I would like to start with the most unusual figures. 80 gigabytes of internal memory. How to obtain this amount? In Linshof i8 used memory module and an additional 64 gigabytes to 16 gigabytes on a higher speed for applications. Both modules are available SanDisk. Without going too far from the chips on the board, i8 runs on an eight 32-bit processor, 2.1 GHz, which works in tandem with 3 gigs of RAM. Although the release final specifications may vary.

Linshof i8 – Made in Germany

Very unusual and the Germans came to the display. 5 FullHD-inch screens may be configured as a technology SuperAMOLED, and IPS-on technology. Different versions are used for different markets. The company has rightly pointed out unnecessarily caustic color AMOLED-display, and stated that their screens are calibrated to the performance IPS.

What else can you mention? 13-megapixel camera with F1.8 aperture and 28mm wide-angle lens, an 8-megapixel front camera, the battery capacity of 3100mAh, LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC – all this smartphone. Do not forget about HDMI 1.4 with support for 3D.

The smartphone Linshof i8 will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop, decorated with a proprietary user interface from Linshof. It resembles a cross between Windows Phone and interface TouchWiz, but is ready to surprise unusual arrangement of keys.

Linshof i8 to go on sale in the first quarter of 2015 at a price of $ 380. Very interesting proposal for such an unusual smartphone.

Among the mobile devices of the season, there are some of which are difficult to choose the best Android-phone. On this issue, everyone can have an opinion. But the new Nexus 6 occupies a special place among those represented in the recently smartphones. Best it? Or only among the among best Android-phone or interesting phones?

Cowan K. Gittens on the resource Android Authoruty Nexus 6 considers the best Android-phone of the outgoing year and bases his opinion. But every one of our readers can call another smartphone, which he considers the best of the company’s offer this year.

Google Nexus 6 – the best Android-phone in 2014. Why?

Smartphones, among which we could choose the best of the best, a few. This Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and OnePlus One, and, of course, Google Nexus 6, as well as its superior performance for some Motorola Droid Turbo.

First of all, Google Nexus 6 is notable for the fact that out of the box running the latest operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop, having a functionality that will be available to users of other devices only in the future.

Cowan K. Gittens considers himself a big fan of Samsung. Your Galaxy S3 is considered the best Android-phone and very disappointed when I learned that the company does not intend to update its flagship bestseller S3 I9300 to KitKat. From this situation, it was concluded that it is better to have a phone that does not depend on third-party companies, their software add-ons and downloaders.

The second advantage of Google Nexus 6 is its 13-megapixel camera, which made the pictures make a very good impression. Maybe there is a better camera, but the new flagship smartphone Google, it is good enough. At least for the camera phone. Yes, it is inferior to HTC, but the quality can be estimated on the fine, except for the fact that the impressive new take pictures in the dark does not know how.

A third advantage of Nexus 6 is the ability to fast-charge your smartphone and duration of work without recharging. Cowan K. Gittens nice pleased that he will be able to use the phone tightly for 6-8 hours, not its battery.

The only drawback of Nexus 6 it considers its price, although it notes that the phone is worth it, if we take into account its premium features.

In addition to the arguments Cowan, pages Android Authoruty can meet another important argument in favor of the flagship phone from Google. Nexus 6 is superior to other phones sound quality, which is achieved through on the front panel of speakers.

Which phone would you have called the best Android-phone in the past year? Do you agree with the view that this Nexus 6, or call other Android-smartphone favorite in 2014?

Secure restart – features of Android Lollipop

Features of Android Lollipop also got a revised mechanism for the application after a system reboot. Previously, we recall, this procedure has become the reason for closing all programs. Now restart the system is far less aggressive: running applications remain intact.

Built-in color correction – features of Android Lollipop
