Android 4.4, KitKat as we know it better, is the latest version of OS by Google Android. You can also call it as its newest attempt to take the technology further and make it ever advanced just like it did with the earlier ones. And the 4.4 certainly does it with due elegance and style.
Well, you can consider them as Google’s smart approach to connect users with the most utility-driven aspects of mobility (as it seems evolving quite much these days) and engage them with the technology. Otherwise, there are so many other features and ideas implemented with this new release that would mark the idea of gen-next mobility with great applicability and impact.
Where this name comes from
It was long-rumored that the name of the new OS will be ‘Key Lime Pie’. However, Google and Nestle went into a deal to name it after the KitKat chocolate biscuit eventually. Quite smart isn’t it? Dessert or biscuit, it should carry ahead the delicious tradition.
What’s with ‘OK Google’?
Google’s intelligent assistant and smart search scheme has just got bigger. Google Now is now integrated with an always-listening feature that will instantly respond to the voice instructions prompted by the phrase ‘OK Google’ and that too directly from the home screen without having to launch any app.
Full Screen immersion. Huh
Changing the way system-level interface elements are presented, Android KitKat allows you to view your apps just like an e-book reader. Making the status bar and menu buttons transparent and removing the brackets from the vertical edges, the new Android allows you features that gives you a full screen immersion.
Support for lower-end phones
Now users can also download applications for their lower-end phones as with this new version, Google has decoupled the applications and made them work with the non upgraded visions to a great extent. By minimizing fragmentation and reducing the system requirements for the 4.4 version, Google has worked on KitKat to make it work with much lower power Android devices.
Low-power sensors without battery drain
Now you have a better experience with tracking your movement and using other sensors. “Hardware Sensor Batching” would now allow Android to log data and queue up sensory input to be processed in batches. This brings you better results with GPS, accelerometers and gyroscopes without consuming much of battery.
Lined up with the latest devices
HTC One and Nexus 5 are already running on KitKat and have confirmed to use it in the latest versions, to be launched shortly. Android app development is working earnestly to make it achieve the right plan that works with the latest features that the premium devices have to offer.
Final Thoughts
These are some of the major ideas that relate to the Android’s KitKat and this allows users to find more value out of the features available, some of which are new and some that are built on existing facilities. Android app development sees a lot of potential and possibilities in making things richer and better for different utility segments and resource facilities that we require to have for the latest business needs and day-to-day requirements.
