A video review of Android M on Nexus 5 by @mjp93:




Very first impressions and screenshots by @Isus <3
Here are the images of Android M!
http://imgur.com/qQJyNYX,UP9I9iL,Ag...Yvwwu,U8hmzgl,zQeZtgm,E4qEgZE,w3iFGR7,jLyI8Aa


Here is also the small review!

Animations are a lot, lot smoother! OS seems faster as well because this animations seem to create this effect of OS running more smooth than Lollipop. There are also some UI changes as lockscreen, font in some places and some google apps are redesigned with nav bar and status bar transparency tweaks. Really enjoying this!

Here is also lockscreen changes, forgot to upload on imgur



We spotted a video on YouTube:

They probably want more enthusiasts to test the dev preview this time to get their s#!t together before the next major release. LOL

It's better for them to release dev preview first then release full version of android to help devs adopt their apps to new android version.. I don't see whats wrong with that
