With the Nexus Player and the Nexus Player Android Lollipop Google is expanding its platform.
The operating system allows songs, photos and apps even in the history of user searches on the web that are available from a user's Android device to be available on any other Android device, "instantly."
Suppose you are listening to a song on mobile περπατώντας. Φτάνοντας στο home, when you fire up Nexus Player, Lollipop will take it upon itself to notify it that you've been listening to your favorite band's last song at 28 seconds, and it will resume playing it "as it should". The same can happen with switching the view of a video from tablets on TV and then back, or even with the game.
Google refers to the special care it has shown so that the user does not feel that something is changing in the interface environment, with an approach to user design interface on all devices called Material Design. In addition, content responds to your touch and voice in more natural ways, and switching is more transparent, Google adds.
- Google is also talking about increased device control by the user. He states typically that a user of a Lollipop device may be selective and determine which calls or alerts he or she will receive depending on his schedule. When an acceptable alert arrives, it will appear directly on the lock screen to relieve the user of the need to unlock his phone, search for it and see it.
- Lollipop also brings a new (mysterious) function that extends its autonomy battery up to 90 minutes, provided that the Android Lollipop smartphone battery is running out of power. We will have to come back to this issue, since it is more widely known that autonomy depends on a variety of parameters and is closely dependent on use, so we think the manufacturer refers to a battery sufficient for some emergency voice calls within one and a half hours from the moment the battery would otherwise be exhausted.
- Still, Lollipop can be defined different user accounts - especially for tablets. Guests will be able to use the device in Guest Mode so they do not have access to personal information.
- The version of Android that succeeds KitKat brings new ways of locking: you can use the standard PIN, or password, a pattern, but also Smart Lock with which the device will be unlocked only when coupled to another trusted device, that is the smart watch or the car with the associated equipment .
