The sweet treat from Google is coming very soon with Android 4.4 KitKat which tied on the upcoming Nexus 5 smartphone.

Display Screen

Android KitKat has been designed to support latest display screen technologies and unlike before, it allows Nexus 5 to operate a narrow-bezel screen unlike with Nexus 4.

"Edge to edge display - provides maximum user enjoyment for both work and play," according to the KitKat Web site.

Leaked images found online supported the narrower bezel on the Nexus 5 that makes the screen larger and wider to make room for more widgets and shortcuts.

Display Resolution

One aspect featured on Android KitKat is solving defragmentation issues through display resolution and we may expect support changes later on but not limited to. Nexus 5 allegedly specifications feature a full HD 1080 x 1920 resolution display with True IPS plus technology and 441ppi pixel density.

User Interface

Included to the changes found on Android 4.4 is the user interface and Nexus 5 will run its Vanilla UI version. Several apps such as Downloads, new moving Mosaic wallpaper, balancing font on the alarm, clock and stopwatch, and white theme on the notifications bar icons. Adjusting screen orientation in portrait and landscape has been noticed which was promised by Google.

New Applications

Google decided to make several apps from their services to be native on Android 4.4 KitKat and we'll see it first time on Nexus 5. Apps such as Drive, Keep, QuickOffice and full integration of both SMS and MMS using Hangouts are now native on Android 4.4 running devices. Older devices may get updates from these apps via Play Store which speculated as a part of segmentation of Android KitKat OS.

Camera and Photos

Leaked reports include new stock camera experience with all the adjustments delivered by Android 4.4 KitKat on Nexus 5. Google+ remains to feature photo editing and manipulation, added features such as straightening, mirroring and colour balance. Camera UI gets quicker access to flash settings, timers and image size. In addition, images can now be saved on your device in PDF format with option to export in variety of size, quality, filters and effects.

4G LTE and Network Coverage

Network coverage and compatibility are also improved on Android 4.4 KitKat and the first example is Nexus 5 LTE network support which wasn't featured on Nexus 4.

"With global coverage, you can take it literally anywhere, even to work. KitKat 4.4 can be accessed anywhere around the globe," posts from the KitKat Web site.

Expect better network signal strength, coverage and faster data transfer speed on your Nexus 5 smartphone.

Extended Battery Life

Since Android 4.4 KitKat will feature better multi-core support on processor, better network coverage and lightweight memory requirements, devices running the new OS will have an extended standby time. Nexus 5 will have two variants with different internal storage capacity and battery pack - 16GB model with 2300 mAh battery while the 32GB gets 3000 mAh battery.

Wireless Features

Aside from the standard Wi-Fi, GPS, NFC and Bluetooth Low Energy, Android 4.4 KitKat enables Cloud Printing and Wireless Payment on Nexus 5. Leaked images showed that Nexus 5 supports Cloud Print to allow wireless printing of emails, images, documents and more. Another revealed was the Tap & Pay feature which permits wireless payment via NFC connectivity.

"A taste sensation that will leave you up in TheCloud," a probably cloud based storage for Android based from the KitKat official site.

Google Drive may be initially used for the exclusive Android cloud-based system until a specific app is ready for all devices.

Better Processor Support

Early reports point Google's development on Linux kernel 3.8 which will be used on the upcoming Android version. An upgrade with Linux will make the system lighter and smoother plus better support to several processors.

"As famous for its inside as its outside. Thanks to its world-renowned, tri-core, wafer thin CPU with full chocolate coverage," hinted post on KitKat which probably about improved multi-core processor support.

Nexus 5 speculated hardware includes 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor which supports LTE as well.

RAM and Multi-tasking

Refined UI, improved apps, integration of services, cloud-based system, better processor support and lightweight memory requirements make Android 4.4 KitKat the fastest Android version ever.

"Under specific conditions KitKat 4.4 has been known to be virtually weightless," something could mean light on both internal storage and RAM.

Google's aim to solve fragmentation issue may be addressed with KitKat 4.4 and having low-memory requirements will make it easy for older devices to run.

Nexus 5 has appeared on the Play Store with a price tag starting at $349 and may depend on the chosen storage and battery capacity.
