A 32-bit phone released in the 64-bit age rouses some questions — let's answer them
New Nexus time, baby! It's the time of the year when hardcore fans of Google's version of Android get excited. We see new hardware, new OS versions with sweet features, and we start to think about how we're going to fund our new purchases and the things we're going to do with them. It's #420ROOTIT all day for some, enjoying "pure" Android as-is for others.

After giving us all a taste of Android L in June at the I/O developer conference, Google is finally releasing the next version of Android to the world, version number 5.0, code-named Lollipop.
The release, which comes nearly one year after 4.4 KitKat, ushers in a brand-new design throughout the operating system, enhanced notifications, changes to multitasking, and handful of other features.

Every version of Android has featured a variety of hidden treats and features, commonly called "Easter eggs." Android 5.0 Lollipop, which is due to arrive on devices in the coming weeks, might have the most ambitious Easter egg of all: it has a knock off of the Flappy Bird game accessible via a series of taps in the phone's settings menu. In place of the 8-bit bird and Mario Bros. pipes are the Android mascot and lollipop obstacles that you must avoid.
The Flappy Bird-like game is available on the developer preview of Android 5.0 Lollipop, as demonstrated in the video above by YouTuber Sam Nalty. There's no reason for us to suspect it won't be in the final version of the software however, so those with Nexus device will likely be able to get in on the flying Android mascot fun in the near future.
