Important RF Notice
This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada
specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical
body-worn operations. To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested
levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation
distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the
device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure
compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.

may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not
permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information.

are some of these features:
Both sides of the story
Use Split Capture mode to record the action first and then record yourself giving a commentary. See
Using Split Capture mode on page 66.
Blend faces with anyone
Face Fusion uses two photos such as your selfie and a photo of your favorite celebrity to merge your
looks together. See Using Face Fusion on page 76.
Taking selfies just got a whole lot easier
Flash a smile, and the camera instantly captures your smiling face. Or, Just "Say Cheese"! See Using

Here are some of the changes:
Bolder, user-centered design

experience across Android devices. The design elements extend to the Android user interface. For a
start, check out the revamped Recent apps screen or the Notifications panel.
More control over notifications
Choose which apps to get notifications from. This is helpful if you want to limit the notifications
that show on the lock screen. See Turning lock screen notifications on or off on page 45.
10 What's new

When you restart your phone in earlier Android versions, all your recently opened apps will be
cleared. In Lollipop, they're still be present on the Recent apps screen after a reboot.
Easier sharing with Android Beam
Using Android Beam™is simpler than ever as it's now an option in the share menu. It makes it
convenient to share whenever another NFC-enabled device is nearby. See Beaming content on page
151.
This feature may not be available on all phones.
Searchable settings
Overwhelmed with the options that you can change in Settings? Use the new search bar in Settings
to quickly find the relevant option.
Smart Lock
Set up your phone to unlock the screen just by detecting your face. Or you can use another trusted
device, such as your car's Bluetooth®system, to unlock your phone once they're connected. See
Setting up Smart Lock on page 44.
