Google
is reportedly all set to roll out a significantly revamped version of
its Gmail app for Android, with a pre-release build of the overhauled
app doing the rounds of the Internet. Most notably, the Gmail 5.0 app
now supports multiple accounts from different email providers.
Reported
by Android Police, the new Gmail v5.0 app for Android can be seen in
what appears to be a video by Google that introduces the new features
for returning users. The video says the new app brings "all the features
you love with a fresh new look."
The video adds, "you can access
other email accounts like Yahoo Mail, Outlook.com, and more," and shows
that users can switch accounts in Gmail 5.0 by swiping, or selecting the
account from the dropdown.
Apart from the significant new ability
to support multiple email accounts from providers other than Google,
the new Gmail app is seen to sport a revamped new interface, with new
round compose button at the bottom of the currently open mailbox, a new
send button, a new accounts menu, and new circular avatars for contacts,
apart from new iconography.
The report says the new Gmail v5.0
app for Android is expected to roll out alongside the public release of
Android 5.0 Lollipop early next month. The publication is not providing
the apk file to download for a change, and chief editor Artem
Russakovskii says it's signed with "test-keys and is pre-release."
Google
in August added a new feature to its Gmail Web-interface, bringing a
new Hangouts tab that allows users to see which of their contacts are
online first, before the offline contacts.
The Mountain View-based
firm released the updated Android 5.0 developer preview images for the
Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 over the weekend, alongside the full release of the
Android 5.0 SDK with final APIs.
