sincity Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 What will the next major Android update be? Android 5.0? Android 4.5? Another number picked at random? Regardless, this alleged leaked image reportedly shows what the next version of Android's icons will look like, according to Android Police. Like Apple's iOS 7 update, the next Android update looks like it will include an aesthetic overhaul to the Google OS, with a visual style reportedly being referred to internally at Google as "Moonshine."
