Android (5.0 and up): Android has a pretty powerful tool that allows you to see what's been using your phone's battery since it was last charged. If you're using it often, this shortcut makes it easier to get to.

Android: The Recents menu, introduced in Lollipop, is a handy way to jump to a previous app. If you turn Developer Options on, you can also use it to jump to an app's info page, where you can force stop or uninstall an app.

Today, Google quietly announced a new version of Android in a small blog post. The new version, Android 5.1, is still called Lollipop, but it will come with a few new features including Device Protection, and HD voice (where your device and network supports it).

Android: Lollipop's new incoming call banner slides in from the top of the screen when you get a call, instead of kicking the current app to the background. You can get it now, even without Lollipop.

Android: If you thought you had to wait for Lollipop to roll out before you got your hands on Google's new material design releases, you thought wrong. While they might not be available in the Google Play Store just yet, you can download the Maps, Calendar, and Gmail 5.0 APKs now.

Back in February, Google made a decision that upset a lot of users by limiting access to the SD card by developers. With Lollipop, those limitations get a lot less limiting.
