With Android Lollipop, you get better Notifications on the Lock screen which was not possible with Android Kitkat. You can get a dialer shortcut as well in the lock screen. You can access Notifications menu from the lock screen itself like WiFi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, Auto Rotate Flashlight etc. Many other features also can be added with the personal skins from Lava. It is overall more refined, faster and smoother than Kitkat.

The Lollipop update will be released in batches if you are an Iris X8 user you need to keep checking the System Updates section for the Update which will be arriving shortly if you have not received it yet.
