We know better than to assume anything is final in the Android M Developer Preview, but this new launcher is a spectacle that warrants a moment’s consideration.
We’re all still absorbing everything Google announced at I/O today, but it couldn’t be more clear that the next version of Android is all about polishing the experience and making Google a part of every nook and cranny of the operating system. We’ve got a little bit of a wait for Android M to graduate to a full version of Android with its own hardware and everything, but the M Developer Preview images mean we can take a peek at the things Google is working on before that hardware launches.
If you do decide to flash the preview on your Nexus 5, Nexus 6, or Nexus 9, the first thing you’ll notice upon opening the app drawer is a wildly different interface. We don’t know if this is going to make it into the final version, but so far it’s fun to play with.
