Download and install Pixel Launcher from Google on your Android

There is less and less for the new Google hardware devices to become a reality, next October 4 is the date chosen for it. And, with them, a new user interface will arrive that, without including great variations, will offer interesting news. Well, the application to install it is possible to get it and test it. We talk about Pixel Launcher.

Thus, the appearance that the operating system will have in the Google terminals that HTC has developed and manufactured (Sailfish and Marlin) can be taken to other devices, without affecting its operation but changing the design that is seen on the screen. Some interesting options is that Pixel Launcher will allow all terminals that use it to use a landscape mode -that it is not activated by default- or that the options for the desktop backgrounds are greater, and very similar to those that are from the game in Chrome OS (to achieve this it will be necessary to do something else, as we will indicate).

An interesting detail is that the version of the Launcher we are talking about is the 7.1-3231428. This should not be something particularly newsworthy at first, but if one takes into account that this Google development shows in its first two digits the Android version with which it is most advisable to use it, everything indicates that Google's new hardware terminals could released with iteration 7.1 (Nougat).
