Here's how to manage your favorite contacts in Android 5.0 Lollipop's dialer
Our smartphones are getting "smarter" with each and every new generation, but we shouldn't forget that "phone" is still a prominent part of the term. Calls are probably among the more seldom things you do with your phone on a daily basis, as its smarter functions and more compelling features are probably taking up a bigger portion of your time. 

If you need to make a phone call, the dialer in Android 5.0 Lollipop makes sure that this will end up being a rather pleasant and no-frills experience. You might remember that back at Google I/O, the dialer of Android Lollipop was among the apps chosen to showcase the animation-rich Material Design guidelines. Indeed, the dialer is just as compelling in real life as it was when Matias Duarte demonstrated it several months ago.

Although not as flexible and feature rich as some third-party solutions, the dialer in Android 5 still has nifty some aces hidden up its sleeves. One of the more obvious ones that many users might be unaware of is the flexibility of the speed dial screen. Here's are a few useful tips that will help you make better use of the speed dial feature of Google's dialer:

Six-month unlimited plan is now 57% off
