Iconic release. Material design looked fresh as hell. Shame about the battery life and wake locks though which were never fixed until Android 6.

The design was really great. Everything 4.4 and below looks horribly outdated.

Part of me misses the short-lived Holo design from the Honeycomb era.

Good gravy. I still remember the yoloholo and praiseDuarte days

[–] agelord@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

They look outdated because they are more than a decade old.

never fixed until ~~Android 6~~ Android 9

FTFY

It wasn't until my Xiaomi Mi 8 that I could use my phone without babysitting wakelocks. My nexus 6P still had them, and the consequences were quite annoying thanks to the SD810...

Lollipop was my first Android (I miss my Nexus 6), so I'll always have a soft spot for it
