As we already knew Android 5.1 would bring many improvements and fix those bugs that came out with its old version. Users who own a Nexus 6 can be in luck since thanks to the latest update to the Android operating system released this week, Google's flagship will improve the performance of the terminal.
If with Android 5.0 Lollipop, the devices gained visual improvements thanks to the smoother animations. These animations give the system a few fractions of a second to open an application, with the new update they improve the performance of the device to make it much more fluid and have a better user experience and the sixth generation of the Nexus range is one of the great beneficiaries.
Many times we find devices with very powerful hardware, but that nevertheless not the key to a better user experience. Nexus 6 has great hardware, but nevertheless its user experience with Android Lollipop left something to be desired considering all the machinery that is in the device. Google knew it and that is why this week it launched a new update to its operating system, Android 5.1 Lollipop that fixes bugs from previous versions and brings different improvements.
The news was given by a famous developer when he was looking at the kernel of the new update. In it you have found some points that refer specifically to the performance improvements that the Android development team has made especially for the Nexus 6. Without going too far, Android 5.0 activated the processor cores when needed, keeping the others stopped, however with Android 5.1 the thing changes and activates the four cores, giving the system an improvement in how to distribute the workload through all the processor cores. Thus, the user who has a Nexus 6 updated to the latest version, you will see how your device «flies» and navigates smoothly without having the perception that the terminal is taking time to respond as before.
Those users who have already updated their smartphone to Android 5.1 Lollipo manually without having to wait for the OTA from Google have noticed the performance improvements. But that is not the only improvement that the Android team has made, it is also a process performed by Qualcomm for battery management has been disabled which apparently drained the battery of the Nexus 6 and therefore the terminal will have an improvement in battery saving.
As we can see, these are some of the small surprises that have appeared under the Android 5.1 code, although in this case it is only for the Nexus 6. But surely we will see similar improvements in the other devices, since High-end devices with the latest Qualcomm chips should have improved battery management. Once again, Nexus users are the great beneficiaries of Android updates, thanks to the continuous work of Mountain View developers to improve the operating system.
