Android 5.0 Lollipop
There is no stopping Google from "accidentally" (or intentionally) leaking its upcoming devices and software. The tech giant leaked the supposed Android version 5.0 through an image posted in the company's Twitter account.Reddit user 'thatdudefromthehood' has spotted some clues on the photo posted by Google. The image showed the time 5:00 am/pm, which signified that Android 5.0 is coming. This is the same pattern used by the company when it introduced Android 4.4 Kitkat OS. As of now, the official name of the OS is still unknown.According to reports, the next generation of Android OS will be like a desktop OS packed in a mobile device. The next Android version will give its user interface a major facelift. Android Police reported that Google is currently experimenting with Project Hera, which "essentially represents Google's effort to unify the experience users have in Android, Chrome, and Search all on your Android-powered device. "The new project aimed to change the users' experience who run Google's Search and Chrome apps in their smartphones. Google is also expected to integrate HTML 5 in the software that will enable users to multi-task or open and run apps and widgets at the same time.Reports added that the next version of Android OS will definitely support new processor and graphics chipset. This hinted that Android 5.0 will support 64-bit processor and will make processing smoother and more stable. Moreover, the new Android OS will be more secured and will prevent malwares. Android are often targeted by mobile malware given that the operating system is an open source. The alleged version of the operating system was rumored to be unveiled at the I/O Developers' Conference kicking off on June 25. Consumers will surely get hold of more information about the next OS.
Ultra Techy features
Android is going 64-bit
At present Android is a 32-bit system. However, the recent announcement of the Snapdragon 808 and 810 processors from Qualcomm heavily suggests Android is going to ‘go 64-bit’ with Android 5.0.
Qualcomm 810They are both 64-bit chipsets, and Qualcomm says they are "expected to be available in commercial devices by the first half of 2015." That’s perfect timing for the wider roll-out of the next major version of Android.
These are the sort of chips we expect to see powering phones like the Galaxy S6.
It has been a while since the term ’64-bit’ has really been big news -- remember the Nintendo 64, anyone? And it is worth cutting through the inevitable marketing spin to understand why this is an important change.
It’s pretty difficult to tackle the 32-bit vs 64-bit without using pretty impenetrable techie terms, but a 64-bit system can – roughly speaking – crunch more data than a 32-bit one. It’s all about how much ‘address space’ the systems have. And 64-bit systems can handle and use more RAM than 32-bit ones. It’s when Android goes 64-bit that top-end phones will be able to really use more than the 2GB/3GB of RAM top-end phones have at present.
SEE ALSO: Snapdragon 805 vs 801 vs 800
This could also cause a bit of extra fragmentation in Android, though. 64-bit hardware will be able to run ‘normal’ 32-bit Android apps, but we may start to see 64-bit-only apps that will not work on older hardware. Or, more likely, apps will have ’64-bit-only’ features. It’s exciting stuff but sure to get people who spent £550 on the Galaxy S5 this year a bit annoyed come 2015.
Intel has already proved that Android’s core has no trouble working with 64-bit hardware. In early 2014, it finished work on a 64-bit kernel for Android 4.4 KitKat, for use with Intel Atom processors. Of course, it’s only when the system goes natively 64-bit that it’ll be really big news.
