The apps - Word for Android, Excel for Android and PowerPoint for Android are already available for download from the Google Play Store. All you need is to have a phone with 1 GB of RAM running Android Kitkat (4.4x) or above.

Although the new Office apps for Android are free to use with a free Microsoft account, there are a number of additional features that can be unlocked only with an Office 365 subscription. The company has revealed that the apps will also be pre-installed on devices from over 30 OEMs, including Samsung, LG, Sony and others. Many of these devices will arrive in stores later this year. The release also represents yet another move by the firm to fully embrace its cross-platform strategy when it comes to its software.
