Android lovers are forever looking forward to the next version of the
operating system. Most people were expecting Google to announce the same
at the its developers conference, Google I/O, earlier this year. With
that done and dusted, the question still remains what will be the next
version of operating system - Android 4.3 or Android 5.0 - and, more
importantly, when this update be released.
A news report by
vr-zone.com suggests that Google will be unveiling the next Android version
sometime in late October. The report also goes on to claim that it will
indeed be Android 5.0, which is also referred as Key Lime Pie.
It is being touted that Motorola will be unveiling its mysterious "X" smartphone around the same time.
This
is not the first time that we are hearing rumours of this sort. Earlier
in the month of April, a news report claimed that Motorola X smartphone has made an appearance on the AnTuTu
Benchmark results. This report also mentioned that the smartphone
caught in the benchmark was running on Android 5.0.1.
As far as
Google in concerned, the Internet search giant too had adopted a similar
strategy when it rolled out Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The new
version of the software was launched in November 2011 along with a new
device Galaxy Nexus. So it will not come as a surprise if the company
follows the same strategy even this year for Android Key Lime Pie.
Furthermore,
vr-zone.com claims that Android 5.0 is likely to be heavily optimised
and will be able to run on smartphones that have just 512MB of RAM. If
this bit of information is indeed true, then it will help the company in
tapping the lower-end of the market in a much effective manner.
However,
from this report is not clear if in the meantime Google may decide to
rollout another update in the form of Android 4.3.
