there has been rumors on the internet about the new version of Android coming this fall while those rumors are true with the newest iteration of Android Android L the Developer Preview was released one day after the initial announcement although everything is not fully functional we would take a glimpse at the next version of Android the number one enhancement that L brings is something you actually can't see the system is now running art art which stands for Android runtime was brought in as a developmental peace with KitKat and if you recall a few months back we showed you how much faster it actually is and being consistent with our tests everything so far is pretty snappy it's designed to replace the dalvik virtual engine and results in substantially faster performance material design is the new scheme that Android L will display it's flat it's colorful and it's flashy a lot of the features they announced in regards to material design are not ready yet but we can easily see where it's heading when navigating to your dialer your speed dial contacts are laid out in a metro s grid when tapping into recent or contexts you have a subtle splash of color this splash follows you around the OS all actions have some sort of animation to them this makes the OS feel more alive and less static the on-screen buttons received a much-needed facelift as well sporting a triangle circle and a square this is the first time since Android 4.0 that we've seen such a major change in the UI Department keeping up with the theme of cards the recent application window has been replaced the new car layout does not have all the bells and whistles running at this time but what you can expect is to see individual tabs from Chrome to show up as separate instances notifications has been reworked in Android L on the lockscreen the rectangle widget displays in a car layout and these notifications are laid out by priority and some notifications don't even show in this view at all if you pull it down the notification then display all notifications from here you can slide your finger up to unlock or slide your finger down to access the notifications wrap down and quick settings transitions will now have more fluidity with them as far as incoming elements outgoing elements and also shared element and this will give it a clean and fluid feel within applications and between applications none of the updated Google Apps from the keynote are present in this version so we are stuck with the system UI but we have a great idea where Google is headed and the future is colorful as always guys if you like what we do here at andrew authority make sure you give this video a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel because we are your source for all things Android take care guys
