OnePlus had a difficult twelve months in 2014 - from enduring the backlash of its sexist photo contest, or having a shipment delayed after it redesigned a required regulatory mark, to admitting its own design failures when it announced that it was cancelling its promised swappable rear covers.
The LG G3 is a cracking device, possibly one of the best phones this year, with great specs and a huge great 2K display. I really like mine and no doubt many readers will do too. It’s about this time of the year that people start looking to manufacturers to release the latest version of Android for their flagships.
The Android 5.0 which is famously know as Android Lollipop is the latest update of Android. The Android is world’s famous Operating system of mobile devices, which is owned by Google. Since, there are many updates which Google has released for Android, and each update got some exciting changes. Additionally, the same exciting changes have been linked with Android 5.0 Lollipop too.
Features like audio messaging, the new QuickType keyboard and Apple’s Continuity functionality are all awesome additions to iOS, but of course there is still plenty missing from Apple’s mobile platform. Now that Google’s Android 5.0 Lollipop software is official, it’s time to take a look at a few key features found in Google’s latest and greatest that are sadly still absent in iOS.
There are a lot of great new features in Android 5.0 Lollipop but one that’s gone rather unheralded has been the addition of a kind of “kill switch” that can be used as a major deterrent to would-be smartphone thieves. Forbes reports that the new feature, dubbed “factory reset protection,” essentially prevents anyone from wiping and resetting your device if it’s stolen. If thieves can’t factory reset your device, then they won’t be able to successfully resell it since it will be obvious that the device has been stolen.
The name of the new release of Google’s Android mobile operating system has long been something for conjecture. Guesses range from Lemon meringue pie to Lollipop to Liquorice taking in Lion Bar and Lava cake along the way. Well in typical Google fashion a video has been released that will only help to build the suspense ahead of an expected launch tomorrow (15th October).
