Android, like iOS, makes sure to push out updates at regular intervals for all its users across the planet. While the world has already spent a fair amount of time with the previous KitKat OS, it's about time we make way for the next big chapter in Android history: Android L.
Each year with new upgrades, Google manages to also push out new features and fixes for all its users. And with the new Android L also heading over, the same can be expected in terms of new stuff on Android.
There are a host of smartphones that are already set for the Android L update. While the big guys owning a Nexus are already sure to receive the update first hand, more makers are also set to offer the update with time to come. Add Android One to the mix as well.
Android L is set to offer a new UI design, and you could create a consistent experience across mobile and the web with material design. You can also test our apps and get them ready for ART (Android Runtime), the default runtime in the next release.
So if you are indeed looking to buy a handset that will indeed receive the new update, let us tell you that choices are many. Here are the only choices that you will ever need, though.
