Instagram For Android Hands-on

04/03/2012 By Bowman 3 Comments

The long wait is over for many of you that have been waiting for Instagram to finally make its way to android. Starting today you can download it for Android 2.2 devices and higher. The app brings the same look and feel of the iOS so don’t expect a native android feel here. In our hands-on we use the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX which is running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus that runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The app operates almost the same on both platforms with the only different is the camera interface is different for Android 4.0 devices.

As far as performance Instagram runs as expected and should work well for android users. I’m hoping when we see more ICS phones out there that Instagram will give the app a more android look and feel. Check out our screenshots and hands-on video below.
