On Thursday, Google released its latest and greatest version of Android known as KitKat (Android 4.4). Surprise! Android 4.4 - KitKat comes on Nexus 5 and will also soon be available on Nexus 4, 7, 10, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play edition devices in the coming weeks.
According to theverge.com, one of the big features in KitKat, at least on the Google Nexus 5 is something Google calls HDR+. It's a pretty standard HDR feature — silently using a burst mode to take a bunch of photos and composite them together.
| Kit Kat also adds support for third-party cloud services like Box so you can see files stored on the device and in the cloud. Google Hangouts absorbs SMS and MMS messages, so your chats, video calls and texts are all together in one place. Speaking of Google Nexus 5, It's ready for the public - today!, unlocked and without a contract, on Google Play in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and Korea (and coming soon to India). Google Nexus 5 also will be available soon at the following retailers: Sprint, T-Mobile, Amazon, Best Buy and RadioShack, before the holidays. Google Nexus 5 will come in 16GB and 32GB 2 models, the 16 GB version will cost $349 without a contract and the 32 GB version will go for $399, also without a contract. |
Physically, the Nexus 5 is a bit thinner and lighter than the previous generation, a crisp 5" Full HD display at 1080p resolution. It's fast and big with a beautiful screen and all the accoutrements you'd expect on a flagship phone.
The advanced new lens on Nexus 5 captures more light for brighter night and sharper action shots. And with optical image stabilization, you no longer have to worry about shaky hands and blurry pictures.
The Google Nexus 5 also keeps you connected at blazing speeds with 4G/LTE and ultra fast wifi.
