We’ve known for some time that Google has been working on a rather hefty update for its official Gmail mobile application and today, thanks to Android Police, it’s finally available to download by way of a production-signed APK.

At first glance, it’s obvious that Gmail for Android has faced a major design overhaul as it now features a brand new user interface that’s based on Google’s recently-published Material Design guidelines. Included is a colored Action Bar, threaded chats, seamless animations and much, much more.

This upgrade also brings a plethora of new functionality to the application, as well as adding support for corporate/exchange accounts, a unified inbox and auto-updating of email threads — which means when you’re reading a thread, instead of a notification appearing to alert you of a reply, the message will just simply appear.

You can download the APK for Gmail 5.0 here and if you wish to link your Exchange account, you will need to install this second APK, too.
