In the middle of last year, the news about the Android 5.0 operating system has been bubbling up. Recently, a leaked Qualcomm product roadmap shows that Google will release a new generation of Android 5.0 operating system nicknamed "Key Lime Pie" this spring. Industry insiders believe that the system may be released from March to June, most likely at the Google I/O developer conference. Google also launched the Jelley Bean system at the I/O developer conference last year. According to the previous rumors, the X Phone may be equipped with the Limepie system, which will also support Google Glass.

Previously, some industry insiders expressed their hope that Google's engineers could make the following ten changes to the Android 5.0 operating system:

1. Automatic control

At present, Android users basically need to do several things before going to bed, including turning off the ring, data connection, turning on flight mode, etc. Therefore, if Android 5.0 can launch a functional feature that can be used to uniformly manage basic services. For example, when the performance modulation is maximized in the game mode, the power consumption can be reduced to the minimum by continuously opening it for one night; In the reading mode, the tedious data connection is banned, and the ultra-low backlight is used, which may be more humanized.

2. Multi device support optimization

Google's performance in supporting users with multiple devices is impressive, but there are still many blind areas that are not covered. For example, the cloud service that does not support automatic synchronization of the timeline when playing movies in Google Play buffer requires users to change their devices during the movie viewing process, and they need to start from scratch or manually drag the timeline. This requires Google to strengthen the popularity of cloud services in Android 5.0, use the cloud platform to automatically synchronize the playing timeline, realize the intelligent play memory function, and help users easily continue to watch the previous play records.

3. Increase social network support

At present, mainstream mobile operating platforms such as iOS and Windows Phone have made great efforts to integrate social network platforms, but Android lags behind in this regard. Most widgets related to social platforms are customized by hardware manufacturers, and user experience differentiation is too obvious.

At present, Sony has built Facebook applications on its Android smartphones, and LG has also customized Facebook and Twitter widgets. Although Google itself is pushing Google+, it lags behind in supporting social services of competitors, and also requires Google to add social network integration in the next version.

4. Line drawing keyboard options

In terms of the integration of intelligent text entry with line drawing keyboard, Google still cannot keep pace with Android manufacturers. At present, both HTC and Sony have added sliding style line drawing keyboard to their Android devices. If Android 5.0 can add this function, the user experience level of text entry will certainly rise to a higher level.

5. Video chat application

Although Google has built a front camera on the latest Nexus 7 tablet, and other manufacturers have also built cameras on tablets and smartphones, it is regrettable that so far the Android platform does not even have a unified camera application. In most cases, users will choose Skype application or look for other available solutions, but why can't Google provide users with a stable and unified video chat platform application?

6. Multiple contacts

The Android contact function is relatively practical, but it seems powerless when facing mass texting or email. Users need to select a contact in advance, enter the editing mode, and then add other contacts in turn. This experience is a headache, As a result, many users have proposed that Google can add contact scrolling menus and multiple selection boxes to the email and SMS sending function to facilitate email and SMS sending.

7. Cross device SMS synchronization

If you often use a SIM card on multiple devices, you may often encounter the problem of losing or failing to synchronize SMS messages. This is because Google tends to store data on the phone rather than on the SIM card, so when users change phones, SMS messages cannot move with the SIM card. If Android 5.0 can add a pair of SIM cards SMS storage support of SD card and cloud storage will better support users to switch between different devices.

8. Add "Close Update" function

The "Close Update" function may mislead developers, but for users who are accustomed to being complacent, if this function can be added to Android 5.0, it can at least give users more autonomy to decide whether to update to the latest version.

9. New trial and discount code mechanism

At present, Windows Phone and iOS platforms have added trial and discount code mechanisms respectively. Users can experience through trial before formally purchasing paid apps to measure the necessity of app payment, while the discount code allows users to purchase corresponding applications at no or less cost to maximize cost savings, However, these functions are absent in the current Android operating platform. Therefore, it is necessary for Google to provide developers with more commercial models and add support for trial and discount code mechanisms on the basis of a single free+advertising, charging and in app payment model.

10. More detailed requirements

Since the current version of the Android operating platform has added a large number of super long function lists, if the screen alphabetical order or personal preference settings can be added to Android 5.0, it will provide users with more independent space. At the same time, if the battery percentage display can be added to the notification bar, it will also make the Android platform more user-friendly.

Recently, there are different opinions about the new features of Android 5.0 on the Internet. My friends, what new features do you expect Android 5.0 to have?
