Everything that Android Wear 5.1.1 offers us.

One of the most pleasant surprises that I have been able to take last week, is that my L, has finally received the long-awaited and longed-for official update to Android Wear 5.1.1, an official update loaded with aesthetic improvements, performance improvements and new and spectacular functionalities like those in the video attached to this article I tell you in great detail.

El L, that first smart watch that LG brought to the international market and that thanks to this official update to Android Wear 5.1.1, is still raging today, becoming one of the best Android Wear terminals, speaking of value for money, which we can acquire by searching a little online at a approximate price of about 100 Euros.

Everything that Android Wear 5.1.1 offers us

A new notification curtain with a flatter and more functional style

One of the peculiarities or things that have been remodeled, for the better according to my humble opinion, we can see them just by sliding your finger down and entering to the new notification curtain which is presented to us in grayish tones and with a new flatter style leaving aside the three-dimensional interface or carousel of the previous version of Android Wear. A new notification curtain that looks more useful and in line with the functionality and aesthetics of Android Lollipop and its well-known graphic design Material Design.

Finally app drawer!

Another thing that users of an Android Wear device demanded was the incorporation of more functionalities by clicking on the screen of our smart watches like in this case the LG G Watch. If before by clicking on the watch screen we had a direct access to the interaction with Google Now and the OK Google command to execute actions on our watch, now, by clicking on the screen of our Android Wear watch, the first thing that will going out is a kind of app drawer where we will have access to installed applications and functionalities such as FIT, Agenda, Alarm, Compass, Settings and any Android Wear application installed on our Android terminal.

Direct access to our favorite contacts

Another of the actions that we will be able to perform by clicking on the screen of our Wearable Android Wear, is sliding from right to left, once we are in the application drawer, it is to enter the list of our favorite contacts to be able to interact with them without the need to take out the phone, this at least in the first instance.

So from this list of favorite contacts we will be able, for example make a phone call, case in which obviously if we have to remove our Android terminal from the pocket or where we have it stored.

Another thing that we are allowed from this list of favorite contacts, is to be able to send an SMS or emailIn these two cases, it will not be necessary to resort to the Android smartphone or Tablet to be able to send the correct email or SMS since with the only interaction of our Android Wear and our voice we will achieve it without major difficulties.

The most spectacular of all !!, being able to browse the list of our notifications received with just a flick of the wrist

Without a doubt, the most impressive thing that is included in this official update to Android Wear 5.1.1, it is the possibility of by means of simple twists of the wrist, to be able to navigate between all the notifications received in our smart watch that, now with this new navigation gesture functionality, I find it much more intelligent and useful since you will not need to use both hands to consult the notifications received.
