Best Android Launchers

Android is known for its great customization capabilities, and one of the main aspects of this customization are Android launchers. Launchers basically change the way your Android device’s layout (user-interface) looks and behaves. There are two main types of launchers, Design and Productivity.

Design launchers focus on changing the look of your Android to make it easier and more agreable to see all the apps, or just make it beautiful. On the other hand, Productivity launchers focus on increasing your productivity by providing faster access to your phone’s system and many other tweaks that may save time.

Today, we are going to list down the best productivity and design launchers available in the Google Play Store. Just make your pick!
