Google is preparing to launch its next version of Android this fall. This will highlight a new design language known as "Material Design" with bright colors and animations designed, based on the principle of the paper, but also the concept inaugurated in Google Now cards.

But all smartphones running Android L will not have the same design. Some devices like the Nexus 6 next Google will likely work with a "pure" version of the operating system, while others like the Galaxy line of smartphones from Samsung, present their own overlays.
The folks at SamMobile have put their hands on a version of Android for the Galaxy The Samsung S5 . And, the site gives us an idea of how the next operating system from Google will look like on the flagship smartphone from Samsung.
SamMobile reported that Samsung has redesigned all of its applications, including Messages, Notepad, Clock, Music, and telephone, in order to comply with the new design guidelines of Google.
There is also a new theme that uses a lot of white, where earlier versions of Samsung's TouchWiz overlay used the blue, and it has support of two notifications on the lock screen - rather than the 4 you have with the traditional version of Android L.
Some things have not changed much - the Home screen and Launcher application does not seem very different from previous versions, and you can always slide down from the top of the screen to access the own version of the Quick Settings panel from Samsung. You also get a Samsung keyboard instead of the traditional Android keyboard - but you can always replace it with a third-party keyboard (or even the Google keyboard).
