Comparison of Android Lollipop with Android Kitkat

Comparing to Kitkat, lollipop has better UI visual enhancements. Google has maintained the flat look from Android KitKat but also adds in some punch with real time shadows and animation to give Lollipop more depth and dynamic.

From icons to navigation buttons, notification bars, fonts, and other design elements, Material Design is meant to make Android's look more unified and give developers more ways to have creative visualization in their apps.

Lollipop will also be able to set certain geographic safe zones, where the unlock patterns will also be unnecessary.

Android Lollipop makes your smartphone smarter by presenting you notifications when you pick it up. As the user, you also decide what you prioritize first, an incoming phone call or that game you are so addicted to.

It also finally introduces a "Do Not Disturb" mode so that you can ignore all spam and work emails during set hours of the day, and still receive emergency or other calls and messages from certain contacts.
