Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie
Google didn't announce about the new
version of Android at Google I/O 2013 but that doesn't mean it doesn't have
major updates in store for Android owners. The first of these updates should be
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, rumored to be arriving in July, while the biggest
update of the year is thought to be Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. And while we
haven’t heard much about the real Android
5.0 Key Lime Pie, Android enthusiasts may hope that it resembles a Android 5.0
concept that recently emerged.
At
Google I/O 2013, the company failed to offer an Android update for smartphone
and tablet owners, instead choosing to focus on upgrades to its current
services. However, rumors suggest that a new Android update is close with
whispers pointing to an Android 4.3 Jelly Bean release in the not-so-distant
future. Rumors suggest the update could arrive as soon as this month with July
also being mentioned as a possibility.
Rumors of a new Nexus handset started trickling in during the third quarter of 2012,
as we reported on 1 October
2012. There was speculation that this phone would be sporting Key Lime Pie,
but sources who spoke to Android And +
Me correctly claimed that the handset, which
turned out to be the Google
Nexus 4, would be running Android
Jelly Bean.
While
the Nexus 4 didn't appear with a helping of Key Lime Pie,speculation that we
reported on 21 January 2013 suggested
that the Motorola X Phone was
the Android 5.0-toting handset that would be revealed at Google IO. According
to a post on the Droid Forums website, the phone will also feature a virtually
bezel-free, edge-to-edge, 5-inch display. The Motorola X wasn't on show at IO
but we're still expecting to see it break cover this year.
