Android Lollipop is coming – UC Browser makes changes in their app

The very exciting Android Lollipop is coming and companies are getting ready for it. UC Browser, which is India’s number one ranked mobile browser with over 36% market share, has released two major updates for Android, UC Browser 10.0 for Android and UC Browser Mini 9.5 today.

Android Lollipop preparation by the App

Both updates feel inspired by Android 5.0 Lollipop’s design aesthetics and bring crucial changes to the browsers’ overall appearance. On both UC Browser 10.0 for Android and UC Browser Mini 9.5, you can hope for a attractive design and improved user experience that’s a perfect blend of simplicity and utility.

UC Browser 10.0 for Android is a breakthrough update that features the largest changes by far this year. Based on user feedback and the new Android Lollipop’s more lively yet minimal aesthetics. UC Browser worked jointly with California-based design studio Creative Dash to deliver to the users a new browsing experience that accurately expresses the phrase “style and substance.” With UC Browser 10.0 for Android, you’ll have the benefit of experiencing both the simplicity in style as well as the ample flexibility in function.

The UC Browser’s default home page is the Navigation Page that aids fast access to famous websites and valuable content. Although many users like they can easily access different web content, some also opt for a simpler home page. Keeping these contradictory ideas in mind, UC Browser set out to find the best possible solution to make both types of users’ content.

The result of this is a brand new and classier Navigation Page that sustains the fast and simple access to valuable content such as Bollywood videos, online shopping, live cricket scores and train enquiry. Also, now you don’t have to scroll down to search your favorite sites. Everything you need is accessible on one page.

UC Browser also enhanced the overall user interface other than the Navigation Page. For example, the new Tab Management feature has made tab switching easier, and you will absolutely love its sleek animation effect. The Menu has been moved to the right side, while the Home button is now placed where it is supposed to be that is, the center which is similar to Home buttons on most of the Android phones. These changes make the browser more perceptive and streamlined to the whole experience of Android.

UC Browser Mini was built to not only give Android users a choice of a browser that’s less heavy on the resources of a phone, but also gives a mobile browsing experience that is equal to the rest. As an easy and lightweight browser with basic features, it needs very less hardware capability and helps budget phone users’ easy access to internet all over the world.

Today, UC Browser Mini makes its biggest progress yet. Being able to retain its tiny 1.1MB installation package, the latest UC Browser Mini has a fully-functional Navigation Page that equips you with one-click access to valuable content that includes Bollywood videos, live cricket scores, popular apps and games.

You can also make changes to the Navigation Page according to your requirements by adding and altering your preferred content.
