How to Download and Install Chrome 37 Beta for Android with Android-L Material Design Update and Bug-Fixes

Google has started rolling out Material Design updates to the beta release of Chrome 37, following its recent PlayStore (v4.9.1.3) update with Android-L inspired Material Design UI.

As the update is being rolled out through the Play Store, the same should be available on your Android device right now, if not in the next few hours.

The new Chrome update brings new transition animations alongside a neatly organised user interface (UI). The interface has been revamped to give it a fresh look with new icons and button styles, besides the redesigned incognito mode.

In addition, users can now enjoy a simplified sign-in process after a fresh install along with loads of bug-fixes and performance improvements.

As the update mostly incorporates UI tweaks, you can get a first-hand experience of the visual changes by grabbing the APK file from the download link below.
