Let us not go to the theoretical aspect of Material Design, as there is a plethora to understand and interpret! Yet, as far as a normal Android user is concerned, implementation of Material Design will redefine looks of Android in a way that makes its preceding versions a bit ‘out of the box’. By increasing use of grid-based layouts, transitions, padding, lighting, shadows, responsive animations and layouts, Material Design takes card-based design of Google Now as its root! In addition to these, Android v5.0 Lollipop has made some notable changes to typography of the platform. As a normal user, you will find the new Android to be more interactive, with the stacked arrangement of active tasks and Chrome tabs, easy to use notification bar etc. Plus, when it comes to Lollipop-powered Tablet PCs, multitasking shall become an interesting task!

In addition, most of Google Apps have been updated to bear Material Design and you can install those updates if you want to enjoy Material Design, regardless whether your device will receive Lollipop update.

Apart from an owner account that has access to each and every part of a device, you can have User Accounts & Guest accounts.

On the other hand, Guest Accounts are meant for one-time use and all kinds of information of the user will be erased when the device shuts Guest Mode down.
