Itching to try out all of those new Android L goodies that Google announced yesterday? If you’ve got either a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 (2013), you can now do just that.
Google just posted the factory images and SDK for the Android L Developer Preview, giving Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013) owners the chance to try out Android L ahead of its public release in the fall. Some of the highlights of Android L include:
The Android L release looks to be one of the biggest updates to Google’s mobile operating system yet. It includes a pretty significant user interface refresh known as “Material Design,” new Heads-Up Notifications, ART as the default runtime, more than 5000 new APIs and much more.
Android L is expected to be released to the public in the fall. It’s nice to see Google give developers — and any regular folk that love shiny, new things — the ability to preview Android L ahead of its public launch. Not only does it give developers plenty of time to get their apps ready for Android L’s public release, but it gives brave Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 the opportunity to be on the latest version of Android before most everyone else.
If you install the Android L Developer Preview, be sure to share your first impressions with us in the comments section below!
