Google has Teased the next version of Android 5.0

Google will Releasing the next
version of Android 5.0, via an image online.

For now, features remain unconfirmed, though
multiple reports indicate the next Android OS will
bring a major design overhaul over the existing
Android 4.4.3 KitKat.

For those who have not yet noticed, it has been
understood that each of Google's Nexus devices
on Google Play show the time 4:40 on top right
corner, to reflect the current latest version of the
OS - Android 4.4 KitKat.

This has been followed
since the Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
However, in one of the latest tweets, Google has
posted an image of three Nexus 5 smartphones
and has stated "Get the latest  #WorldCup match
scores and schedules with Google Now on iOS
and @Android," followed by Google Now's link.
Interestingly,  all three smartphones show the time
5:00, indicating the existence of Android 5.0 OS
version.

Since the tweet was posted just two weeks before
the onset of Google I/O 2014 event, we are
assuming that Google might just give a surprise
and unveil Android 5.0 OS.

Not only the next
Android OS, but also Android TV or Google's
Project Hera might also become official.

It's worth noting that since we have been
witnessing a number of design changes in Gmail
and Calendar via some leaks, it can be possible
that Google might also announce the same
officially.
Android Police has detailed these alleged design
changes and has come up with the theory of
Quantum Paper.

Quantum Paper is said to be a
common design framework for developers
through which they can make a unified OS
experience on each device which includes
smartphones, tablets or PCs. One of the key
components of Quantum Paper is said to be
Polymer, an extended Web component which the
developers can work upon to create Web apps.

Some of the Polymer icons were also showcased
last year at the Google I/O, where the Mountain
View giant had said it wants "this elegant UI
framework that works across all form factors, all
devices." UI shown off had included icons, one of
which we can see at today's date in the form of
Camera app icon. A whole bunch of similarly-
styled icons were also leaked in April in an image.
