Android 5 : Key Features


We've recently seen Google release its Chrome internet browser app for devices running Ice Cream Sandwich.

We expect to see Chrome become the default browser for Android when Jelly Bean rocks up, offering us the slick tabbed web surfing experience we've grown accustomed to on our computers.

As enormous screens start to keep onto more and more phones, it'd be nice to be able to flip it into landscape mode and use it like a tablet - especially as Android 5.0 will be designed to run on phones and tablets, like its predecessor.

With dual-core and quad-core processors now ruling the roost when it comes to mobile power we expect Android Jelly Bean to optimise these super quick chips and provide a fluid and speedy experience.

More power means more demand on the battery and Android 5.0 will need to make sure it works in the most efficient way possible, providing us with maximum battery life when we're hammering high-def, 3D games.

An improved power management suite would also be useful and Google may take a leaf out of HTC's book, which integrates power management features into its Sense UI.

We could see a "lite" version of Android Jelly Bean which is optimised to run on budget devices and which will allow manufacturers to offer super-cheap smartphones. Microsoft is already sowing the seeds with its Windows Phone Tango OS and we won't be surprised if Google follows suit.

If you're an HTC user you'll be familiar with lock screen widgets and this feature could be made a permanent option with Android Jelly Bean, bringing widgets to every manufacturer's lock screen.

Android phone manufactures have got user's backs up recently over the slow deployment of Ice Cream Sandwich to their current handsets. When Android Jelly Bean rolls onto the screen we hope it brings a clear upgrade plan with it, with users knowing exactly where they stand and how long they will have to wait.

As we churn more and more files onto our devices, it becomes increasingly tricky to keep track of everything. Some manufactures offer file managers as part of their user interfaces, but Android currently lacks its own dedicated file manager, something Android 5.0 can hopefully solve.

Google Fresh

Google has just announced that it has updated its search algorithm to promote the latest relevant results where it makes sense to do so. The company explains “Given the incredibly fast pace at which information moves in today’s world, the most recent information can be from the last week, day or even minute, and depending on the search terms, the algorithm needs to be able to figure out if a result from a week ago about a TV show is recent, or if a result from a week ago about breaking news is too old.” 35% of searches should be affected, Google says. These include, recent events or hot topics; regularly recurring events, and topics that are frequently updated (such as ‘the best Digital SLR camera’. As the image below shows, when Google determines that displaying the latest results is the best option, it will show them in order of time posted. The move follows last year’s introduction of a new indexing system called Caffeine which improved the speed at which Google can crawl...
