Google looks to be streamlining the Android experience, and more polish to the already functional UI will always be appreciated.
For Android L (no candy or dessert title G?) the focus is on flat simple design which improves on the cards layout of apps like Google Now. Dubbed ‘Material Design’, elements will slide in and expand fluidly, and depending on hardware it should render at up to 60fps for buttery smooth transitions.
We should also see improved notification support from the lockscreen, improved battery life with a new battery saver mode, a new Do Not Disturb mode, and support for Bluetooth 4.1.
Developer Previews will be rolling out later today, so get cracking developers! Expect to see L for everyone else later this Fall.
