Android L shown off in a video on Galaxy S5

Might end up to be the Android Lollipop

While we have already seen some features of Google's upcoming Android L update back at the official preview, today we have a chance to check out an exclusive leaked video showing over eight minutes of Android L previewed on Samsung flagship Galaxy S5 smartphone.

Leaked by Sammobile.com, which claims that the upcoming Android OS will actually be called the Android Lollipop, the video shows an early stage of Android L development for the Galaxy S5. Although the preview is done on the Galaxy S5, which will have Samsung's own TouchWiz on top of the Android L, it is still nice to see how some native applications like Dialer, Clock, Messages and others are actually designed from scratch in line with Material Design, a Google way of calling the new look on the Android L.

While Sammobile.com initially wanted to release that same Android L LRW58J test build for the Samsung Galaxy S5 to the public, they decided, after two days of extensive use, that it is not suitable for every day use and is full of nasty bugs.

According to Sammobile.com, the new Android L uses the new ART runtime so in general it should be faster and more lag-free compared to the Android Kitkat, but since this build in its alpha stage it ends up slower than Galaxy S5 running on Kitkat OS.
