Android 4.4 (KitKat) vs 5 (Lollipop) Icons!

One of the major changes with Android 5 was the introduction of new icons alongside a new UI. Here's a video comparing Android 5's icons with its predecessor Android 4.4.

[@Galaxy.Windows]

yeah 😂

[@qaII56056]

Before: 3D version. After: 2D Version and very similar.

[@ayaanjaved]

Android 5 was 2d but it's still looks better than android 13

[@majidvf8066]

@@ayaanjaved I have no idea what android 13 looks like, but I can say that android 5 and everything I saw it came after that looked like dog shit compared to gingerbread and ice cream sandwich and kit Kat and 3 point. And 4. 3.

[@Galaxy.Windows]

​@@majidvf8066 Android 13 looks like Android 8 witch looks like an worse version of Android 5 witch is inferior to kitkat witch is inferior to Android 2.3.6

[@Z_kun11]

Meh I really didn’t like android 4 and under, after kitkat it got better. Tbh my opinion says that marshmellow 6.0 was the best operating system at the time, not only during the time period, but also how up to date it was, it was like a mix of android 4 and 6.

[@MrFeelGoodJson24YTP]

0:07 The Android 5 Browser icon is actually an older icon for the predecessor to Samsung Internet app during the Galaxy S6 era. Google didn't update it as they'll use Chrome as its replacement but some phones has an older KitKat based browser (mostly found on Chinese branded phones).

[@random_person618]

Did you mean "predecessor" or "precursor"?

[@MrFeelGoodJson24YTP]

@@random_person618 it's precursor because I'm describing a thing (an app), not a person.

[@random_person618]

@@MrFeelGoodJson24YTP But "predecessor" is also used for a thing. I may be wrong at this, so it's best if we don't argue.

[@MohamedLaisaanHamdhoon]

I like both Android 4 and 5 icons.

[@vinodjhajharia3388]

I like Android 4.4's icons because they are more iconic than Android 5's icons.

[@Galaxy.Windows]

Android 4.4 has flat ui in google apps

[@use.1]

Have a break, have a KitKat vs lollipop icons 🍭 😋

[@rainbowshremy]

Android 4 has shaders and more details while Android 5 just good details but they are still legends.

[@random_person618]

The Android 4.x's Contacts icon terrifies me. It looks like a death stare (without eyes) but with the mouth open.

[@mineciberkay]

I'm using Android 5.0 and some icons are different on my phone for example Camera

[@fart_jesus_286-_]

Maybe is because Google still had some of the Android Kitkat and Android Jellybean icons. Since Android 6.0 theres none of them.

[@mineciberkay]

thanks

[@edwardcap7]

This is the same case with Nexus devices previously running Android 4.4 or earlier. The icons are still there because the launcher being used is a separate component from the system UI. Starting with Android 7 (Nougat), the icons are now replaced (this may vary).

Android 4.4 is the last android that used the classic interface. Android 5.0 is the first one that use the modern interface.

The modern interface that Android 5 uses is *Material Design.* For Android 4.4, the interface is *Holo.*

Can you do an iOS 16 vs Android 13 icon video please!!!

[@dominox5659]

What is interesting , on my samsung 4.4 tablet there was some 5.0 icons (without updating apps, directly from factory) like play music play store etc. Only gphotos and gplus is from 4.4 version. Probably it was like this becouse itat model was probably ones of latest kitkat tablets.

[@dominox5659]

Btw I am still using this tablet with KITKAT ! Just some feautures its not working on 4.4 i am running in online, virtual Android 10 emulators.

Well, this depends on what version of Android it used to run. Even on the stock version, the icon on the right is what's picked. regardless of whether Google Play Services is present or not.
