Android M will be revealed at Google I/O 2015

Google posted the official schedule for Google I/O 2015, which will take place this month on the 28th and 29th. Among other interesting teasers we gathered from the schedule, one stands far above the rest. According to the Android for Work event, which is scheduled to take place on the 28th, Android M will be unveiled at Google I/O this year. Look at the screenshot of the session below:

Google has removed the session from the Google I/O schedule and has yet to replace it with a new description.

Usually, Google’s “What’s new in Android” sessions explain what new features and enhancements have been added to the OS, so this is another indicator that we could see a new version of Android at the conference. At Google I/O 2014, Google released the Android L preview, which grew into what we now call Android 5.0 Lollipop. Since the release of Android L was only a year ago (and Lollipop is only running on 10% of Android devices), we’ll likely only get a preview of the new version, if anything.

What do you think Android M will be named?

Android 5.0 Lollipop out for the Sprint Galaxy S4

Sprint is now beginning to roll out Android 5.0 Lollipop to the Samsung Galaxy S4. The update, which will bring the build number up to L720VPUGOD2, is for the non-Spark variant of the device.

So what exactly will this update bring to your S4? Consisting of both aesthetic and under the hood enhancements, Lollipop brings a lot to the table. Google has included a ton of visual changes with its new Material Design guidelines, as well as a ton of new animations throughout the UI. These changes won’t be as noticeable as they are on a device running vanilla Android, thanks to Samsung’s Touchwiz overlay. Some additional features include the switch to the Android Runtime (ART), Priority Mode notifications, Smart Lock and much more.
