Gmail 5.0 for Android will bring the Material Design and support for other email accounts

We’ve already had a taste of Android Lollipop and its new Material Design apps like Google Play Movies & TV and Google Play Games, and we can’t wait to see what else Google has in store for us. The next new app we get to take a look at is Gmail 5.0 for Android although we don’t have the APK available for download just yet. Even so, thanks to the new overboarding process, we can get a pretty good demo of the app that we’ll all be getting soon enough. Apart from the Material Design makeover that sees the new Gmail app adopt the new red, we also see that Google is finally allowing other email accounts, like Outlook and Yahoo, the ability to use the app to curate your emails. This and more is shown in the onboarding video below:

 It’s a pretty neat video, and you can see all the great UI updates that are going to come with the new Gmail app whenever it is pushed to our devices. I’m not sure how many Outlook and Yahoo users are still out there looking for an app to use with their email accounts, but it’s always good to have the option, particularly if you are an Android-first user with Outlook or Yahoo emails – presumably this update will eventually find its way to iOS too.

What do you think about the Gmail 5.0 for Android update? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
