The platform has received favorable reviews across various blogs and from technology writers. It is heavily inspired from its previous version, the Honeycomb. The new version will inherit Honeycomb's Tron-inspired "holographic" visual style, which will now come with new designing making it available devices with different screen sizes.

The Android 4 design is simple and functional with a clear color palette that is simple to use. The apps are presented in a somewhat hidden way like the way Google has redesigned its website.

The platform also brings new typeface called Roboto, which was specifically developed for the platform. It allows users to read comfortably and it also works well as a content font in the stock Web browser.

The Home screen of the platform is completely redesigned and now features a permanent search box at the top of the screen. This box replaces the traditional home screen search widget. This box can be used to perform search on the web and also for apps and content on the device. An area is designated for the standard platform buttons at the bottom of the screen.
