Android 5.0 is a huge improvement from Android KitKat. It seems to be fast and at the same time intuitive to use.




Notification control: This is the best part of the operating system. You have control on notifications on particular applications (like you can disable whatsapp notifications while in office and much more).

Search in Settings

The most important feature is that you can now search for something you want directly in settings. Most users are not even aware of this feature as it was conveniently absent from previous android versions.

No disturbance if you receive a call when you are using your phone

There are some features that are not just on the mark and can be improved.





Battery Life : The battery life is just poor. My Nexus 5 discharges quickly compared to KitKat.  Hopefully this will be sorted in the next update.

Time to update phone: Yes as a Nexus 5 user, it was frustrating to see Nexus 4 users given priority for Android lollipop update.

Heating Issue: My Nexus 5 phone never used to heat up while charging on KitKat, this is happening for Android Lollipop.
