Microsoft Office for Android Tablets v16.0.7030.1005 | 176 MB
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.
