Lollipop
Android 5.0 is also the first version of Android that’s been optimized for 64-bit architecture. This is important because chips with more bits can handle more memory, which means that a 32-bit chip is designed to handle memory addresses of up to 32 bits while a 64-bit chip is designed to handle memory addresses of up to 64 bits. Obviously, this will enable hardware manufacturers to go with more powerful 64 bit tablets and smartphones.
