A couple of leaked screenshots are making rounds on tech websites and forums. The screenshot shows a hamburger menu located on the upper left corner of the Settings menu. This feature is not part of Android Marshmallow, so it clearly indicates that Google is working on something innovative in its upcoming operating system.

According to Ubergizmo, there are certain indications that Google is planning to ditch the app drawer or at least give users the option to disable it.

Some tech analysts are somewhat skeptical about the recent leaks. Some claims that the leaked screenshots might point to an upgrade that Google is working on and not the Android N operating system. Nevertheless, the leak has stirred the tech community into creating speculations regarding the upcoming upgrade for the Android platform.

Google is expected to unveil the Android N at the 2016 Google I|O event in May. Aside from the Android N operating system, experts believe that Google will also reveal some its products at the event. Most notable of these are Project Tango and an update on the Google Cars project.

Rumors indicate that at the event Google will provide details about its Android Wear product as well as Project Ara. An update for the Google Nexus 7 is also expected as well as more details about the upgraded Google Glass.

Interestingly, Google Chief Executive Officer Sundar Pichai is letting the public name the upcoming version of the Android operating system. Google recently launched an online pool in order to pick the name Android N.
