system that powers not just phones and tablets, but also wearables, TVs, and even cars.

This guide introduces the Android 5.0 software available on Nexus and

Google Play edition mobile devices. For hardware details for these devices, such as how to insert a SIM card, specs, and so on, visitsupport.google.com/android. There, you can find comprehensive information about all types of Android phones and tablets, including more details about Nexus and Google Play edition devices and other versions of Android.

If you’re switching to Android from iOS, see http://www.android.

your email, contacts, and whatever else you don’t want to share.

starting with 2015 models. It allows you to plug in your phone to display your music, contacts, and messages on the car’s built-in screen. With a simplified interface, integrated steering wheel controls, and powerful

new voice actions, it’s designed to minimize distraction so you can stay

focused on the road. It’s easy to get where you’re going with free voiceguided navigation via Google Maps, live traffic information, lane guidance, and more.

Android Wear

Android Wear watches from LG, Motorola, Sony, and other

manufacturers connect your phone to your wrist. Pause, play, and skip music tracks or quickly respond to text messages using only your watch.

screen. Choose the language you want and touch the arrow to continue.

IMPORTANT: To complete the setup process, it’s best to have a WiFi connection.

time. Signing in lets you immediately access everything associated with your Google Account, like Gmail. If you prefer, you can skip this step and create an account later.

change also appears on your tablet and on any computers where you’re

signed in to your Google Account.
