4. Material design: fluid, purposeful motion
• More tangible interaction
• Content responds to your touch in an intuitive way.
• The right information at the right moment
• With Lollipop, your tablet shows your inbox alongside the
message you have open, while your watch shows new
emails as they arrive.
• flatter, more colorful and multi-layered, with new visual
flourishes to respond to your touch
• Pick up where you left off
• The songs, photos, apps, and even recent searches from
one of your Android devices can be immediately enjoyed
across all of your Android devices
5. • Your device, your rules
• For fewer worries and disruptions, adjust your
settings so only certain people and notifications
get through. When it's important, respond
directly from your lockscreen.
• More time playing, less time charging
• Power for the long haul with a battery saver
feature that extends your device by up to 90
minutes. And now it's easier to manage your
power usage - see the estimated time left before
you need to charge, and when you're charging,
approximately how much time until it's topped
up and ready to go.
6. • More ways to secure your device
• Share your device securely with guest user mode. Or create
multiple user accounts to enable friends to log in on your
device. In either case, no one will be able to access any of
your stuff. And you can use Android Smart Lock to secure your
phone or tablet by pairing it with a trusted device like your
wearable or even your car.

• Android L sees Google bringing much tighter integration
between Android and the Chrome OS found on its
Chromebook laptops.
• Similar to the new Android's Personal Unlock feature, your
Chromebook will be able to tell if your phone is nearby and
automatically log you in. Notifications from Android can be
mirrored to your Chromebook, and calls, battery state and
text messages can be communicated to the laptop too.
