Android 3.0 to 3.

2: Honeycomb
With the introduction of the Motorola Xoom, Android 3.0 was released exclusively for tablets,
and through updates 3.1 and 3.2, it continued to be a tablet-only (and closed-source)
program. It had a "holographic" space-like design that substituted blue for the platform's
distinguishing green and placed an emphasis on maximizing a tablet's screen real estate.

Android version 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich


The update improved the visual concepts first introduced with Honeycomb and brought
together tablets and phones under a single, unified UI vision. With the ability to swipe away
items like notifications and recently used apps, Android 4.0 also made swiping a more
essential method of navigating the operating system.

Android versions 4.1 to 4.3: Jelly Bean


The Jelly Bean releases from 2012 and 2013 took ICS's new foundation and improved upon
it significantly over the course of three significant Android versions. It provided us with
interactive and expandable notifications, a more robust voice search system, and a more
sophisticated way of showing search results in general, with a focus on card-based results
that tried to directly respond to queries.

Android version 4.4: KitKat


A transparent status bar and white icons gave the OS a more modern look, replacing the
darker backgrounds and more vibrant highlights. The first iteration of "OK, Google" support
was also added to Android 4.4.
