Google unveils Android 5.1 Lollipop
The guys at Apple weren’t the only busy ones today. Our Google friends have also announced Android 5.1 Lollipop, their latest improvement to the Android mobile OS. You probably get your usual performance improvements and bug fixes, but this is also a slightly bigger upgrade, with a few new features in tow.
Firstly, the new OS comes with support for devices with multiple SIM cards. Android 5.1 also makes your device more secure by introducing Device Protection, which will keep your lost/stolen device locked until you enter your Google account information (even if the phone has gone through a factory reset). Lastly, HD voice calling has been added for compatible devices.
Opinion: I happen to be most excited about the Device Protection feature, which will make it easier to keep your device and information secure if lost. We needed something like this to compete with Apple’s device locking features.
