Android Lollipop V5.0 Vs IOS 8 by killzone(m): 1:59pm On Feb 09, 2015
While Apple's new mobile operating system, iOS 8, has
been rolling out since Sept. 17, Google has yet to release
its next Android iteration, currently dubbed Android L.
Even though the final version of Android L has not yet
been released, Google has released developer versions
and announced a number of new main features. Which is
better, iOS 8 or Android L? Here are a number of their
features compared.
Design
These days minimalism is in. Both iOS 8 and Android L
are taking advantage of this and offering a more
simplistic design without compromising on ease of use.
Google's new design language is called "material design,"
which is consistent across Android, Google Chrome,
Chrome OS and Android Wear. This design language
essentially adds depth by adding shadows to objects and
makes it so that everything is animated, from little rings
of color that appear when a user taps numbers on the
phone dialer, to the way that app windows slide in from
out-of-screen. While a layered design is introduced in
Android L, that doesn't mean that Google is breaking the
trend of flat design, but rather that the flat design is now
layered.
Apple's iOS 7 received a major design overhaul, which
was much needed for the software. This means, however,
that iOS 8 did not get any significant upgrades as far as
design goes. iOS 8 keeps the clean look that iOS 7
brought, with Apple's clear glass effect remaining
prevalent.
Notifications
Android L introduces an enhanced notifications method
for users, allowing users to see notifications straight from
the lock screen. Android will even list these notifications
in order of what it deems important. Users can then
swipe away notifications they don't need to see anymore,
or they can tap on them to open up the associated app.
Notifications have also rather radically changed in iOS 8,
now being interactive. What this means is users can now
reply to texts, snooze reminders and even like Facebook
statuses without leaving the app they're using.
Alternatively, users can swipe to the app associated with
the notification.
Performance
Both the Android L Software Development Kit and the iOS
8 SDK offer thousands of new APIs for developers, with
iOS 8 coming in at around 4,000 and Android L at 5,000.
Both iOS 8 and Android L support 64-bit processors, with
Apple rolling out the support in iOS 7 and Android L
being the first version of Android to offer it.
When iOS 8 was announced, Apple made sure to talk
about its new Metal graphics API, which allows
developers to create games that run quite a bit faster.
Apple also began rolling out its Swift programming
language, which should help developers streamline apps
as well as safeguard against errors.
Google responded with the new Android RunTime, or
ART, which should give apps a rather large boost in
speed. This spells the end of the road for Delvik, which is
the virtual machine that other versions of Android used
and compiled Java into native code. Rather than compile
code on the fly, ART compiles all the code for a particular
app upon installation of the app and then caches it,
allowing apps to run significantly faster.
Battery Use
Both Android L and iOS 8 incorporate more battery-
saving features, with iOS 8 now showing a power usage
screen that allows users to see exactly where all their
battery juice is going.
Android L takes battery saving to the next level and
allows users to tweak how much battery power apps can
take up through "Project Volta." This essentially makes
tweaks on how a battery is used to extend battery life as
much as possible. While a number of OEMs are already
offering similar features on their devices, the feature will
be nice, especially for stock Android users.
Handover
While there are some apps that offer handover features
between a user's computer and Android phone, such as
PPLConnect, most handover features in Android are best
taken advantage of with Chrome OS.
Apple has taken this to the next level with the
combination of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, now allowing
users to take calls and send texts from their computer
and iPad.
Conclusion
While it's clear both mobile operating systems have
vastly improved over older versions, it is also clear
Android L has made the most changes. While a few new
features in iOS 8 will keep iPhone users happy, and with
good reason, Android users will see a completely new OS
with a completely new look and the power to back it up.
