  [caption id=“attachment_242210” align=“aligncenter” width=“1280”]  It always pays to be a Nexus owner, when Android updates come around. Now, Android Lollipop has arrived for the Nexus 4.[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_242209” align=“aligncenter” width=“1280”]  The look and feel of the entire OS has changed. Icons for Mail, Contacts, calculator and a lot of the native apps on the phone have been revamped. The colours are brighter and there is a slight 3D effect on some of the app buttons, like for instance contacts.[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_242208” align=“aligncenter” width=“1280”]  Notifications now look more like Google cards – black text on white backgrounds, and they have been moved to the centre of the screen for better visibility. You can also pull down and collapse notifications for more information, unlike earlier, when you had to tap on the notification to see it in its entirety.[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_242214” align=“aligncenter” width=“1280”]  Google cards are also more colourful. The titles of the cards now have banners, and when you click on them, you actually get more information than you used to.[/caption] [caption id=“attachment_242211” align=“aligncenter” width=“1280”]  A look at the camera interface.
