Google officially released the new system Android L on June 26. This new OS officially only supports the "pro son" series of Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 for the time being. Although the "four prince" Nexus 4 did not receive official support for the new system immediately, some ROM producers have launched a portable version of Android L system. We will now use Nexus 4 to experience the Android L in the style of Material Design:

The process of machine brushing will not be described in detail. Just like the common method of third-party ROMs, here we use a beta 3 version of Android L test package, which is about 400MB in size ▼

The difference between the launcher and Android 4.4 is not great, but the shape of the virtual key is redesigned, which does not have the rigid feeling of Android 4.0~Android 4.4 ▼

In the lock screen status, you can quickly access dialing and camera. PS： Add the user's avatar in the upper right corner, which is slightly weird

For the redesigned drop-down list, when there is a notice, the first drop-down list will display a notice ▼

The second pull-down will display brightness adjustment and shortcut switches. The number of shortcut switches will be reduced to eight, and WiFi and Bluetooth ▼ will be highlighted

Android L still retains the secondary menu. Large icons are displayed in the menu, and the icons of system applications are redesigned ▼

Press the multi task management key to display the multi task menu. It uses a vertical card display, similar to the Chrome label. There is a close button ▼ on the upper right corner of each task

The design language of the new Material Design, the flat design, and the color are more fresh than ever before. The background of the setting interface is changed to white ▼

When the menu is pulled to the bottom or top, there will be different animation effects according to the position of the finger. The picture shows the effect of the finger pulling to the bottom on the right side of the screen ▼

Of course, the system version is L, and the kernel is still 3.4.0 ▼

Since Android L uses the ART running mode by default, there will be no ART or Dalvik option ▼ in the developer options

Power display ▼

WiFi option ▼

The built-in dial panel has light blue animation effect ▼ when dialing

Built in calculator ▼

The built-in contact list shows that Android L has implemented the flat and brief design style ▼

The photographing interface and menu functions are relatively simple, with only HDR, auxiliary line, countdown, exposure and other basic functions ▼

The resolution and image quality of photos and videos can be adjusted ▼

Pull left on the view interface to view the photos taken earlier ▼

From this test version of the system, we can really feel some features and charm of Android L through Nexus 4. However, due to the optimization problem of the portable version and the compatibility problem of Android L itself, we still do not recommend players who want to use the system for a long time to brush this system. Although the UI is good, it is only for tasting.
