Android 5.0 Lollipop OS release date imminent
Google hinted the imminent release of Android 5.0 Lollipop in another tweet.
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.
