"LG Lollipop" refers to LG smartphones or devices that were updated to run on Android 5.0 Lollipop, which is a version of the Android operating system released by Google in November 2014. The term combines "LG," the name of the South Korean electronics manufacturer, with "Lollipop," the codename for this particular Android release.
Android 5.0 Lollipop introduced several significant changes and improvements over its predecessor, Android KitKat. Some key features and enhancements of Lollipop include:
1. **Material Design**: Lollipop introduced a comprehensive design language called Material Design, which brought a consistent, modern, and visually appealing look across the entire Android ecosystem. It emphasized bold colors, responsive animations, and a clean, flat aesthetic.
2. **Improved notifications**: Lollipop revamped the notification system, making it more interactive and user-friendly. Notifications could now be viewed directly on the lock screen, accessed from the top of the screen on any app, and bundled together by type or app. Users could also prioritize notifications and control their visibility.
3. **Multiple user accounts and guest mode**: Android Lollipop introduced support for multiple user profiles on a single device, allowing different individuals to have separate personalized experiences without interfering with each other's data. Additionally, a guest mode was added, enabling users to lend their device temporarily without revealing personal information or apps.
4. **Battery saver mode**: This feature allowed users to extend their device's battery life by limiting background data usage and reducing performance when the battery level dropped below a certain threshold.
5. **Enhanced security**: Lollipop introduced SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux) in enforcing mode for better protection against potential security threats. It also added support for encryption by default, as well as Smart Lock, which used trusted devices or locations to keep the device unlocked automatically.
6. **Project Volta**: An initiative aimed at improving battery efficiency in Android, Project Volta included tools like Battery Historian for analyzing power consumption, Job Scheduler for optimizing background tasks, and a new Battery Saver mode.
