Twitter 5 for Android, Holo UI: preview & download

Google aims at bringing its Holo UI across all of the Android ecosystem, and we all know its coming to apps such as Twitter. We’ve managed to get the APK file already, and so far it’s looking pretty good. Here’s a preview of Twitter 5.0 for Android.

In terms of Twitter functionality, not much has changed. Aesthetically, a slide-out menu has been added to the left side. Your Twitter header is over at the background, blurred similar to Windows Aero & iOS 7.

Sliding across tabs still functions the same way, but this time you get all 7 tabs (slightly cluttered). You may rearrange the order of the said tabs through the slide-out menu, but you can’t hide it. We hope that changes in the final version.

All-in-all, everything is just lighter & faster to go through. However, we would like to remind everyone that Twitter version 5.0 is still in Beta so you might to wait for it to graduate and officially reach the Play Store.

But if you want to give it a try you can download it here.
