Microsoft Office for Android Tablets Preview v16.0.3930.1006 | 370 MB
Language: English
OS: Android
As with Office's iPad
version, which no longer requires an Office 365 subscription for document
editing, the Android tablet version will be free for basic file creation and
editing. (Previous versions of the Office Mobile apps limited free users to
file viewing only.) Users can apply for the preview by filling out an online
form, and general availability for all users will begin in early 2015.
Microsoft says the preview
will work on 7-inch to 10.1-inch displays, and on Android devices running
Android 4.4 KitKat. That means devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop (such as
the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9) aren't eligible. “You will need to avoid any system
updates to the OS on your device to continue to participate,” Microsoft says.

Starting the morning of
January 29, the completed Android-compatible versions of Microsoft's Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint will be available for download. Devices must be 7"
or larger, possess an ARM-based processor and at least 1GB of RAM, and run
Android 4.4 KitKat or more recent software. Those larger than 10.1" require
an Office 365 subscription to create and edit documents.
