It is
finally here, Android Kit Kat. Google
has officially launched its new version of Android today with the
announcement of its new flagship smartphone the
Nexus 5. Kit Kat is focused on the more low-end smartphone market
and smartwatches but non the less has a ton of new features and improving the
implementation of older features. Here is our list of the Top 5 new features in
Android Kit Kat
1.
Improved battery life
You
would normally say this is something that has to do with hardware, but the fact
is that the first versions of the Android operation system consumed a lot of
CPU power, in Android Kit Kat Google has been focusing on making a
“lightweight” operation system for the CPU to handle increasing battery life
due to less CPU power consumption.
2.
“Ok, Google” better Google Now implementation
Google
has been working really hard on improving its voice assistance app Google
Now, its developers say that they have increased the accuracy of the
App more then 25%. Android Kit Kat will now take
voice command by saying the words “Ok, Google” allowing you to send
messages, emails, set events, get directions, make calls and much more
3.
Multitasking is faster and smoother
Google
has also made significant improvements over multi tasking. The multi task
feature should now be much smoother and faster then the one on previous Android
versions. This improvement also has to do with the number 1 on our list where Google has been trying to optimize CPU
load, with the multitasking improvements Google has been taking better care of
how storage on the memory is taken care off allowing for a much more pleasant
user experience when multi tasking.
4. A
much more “immersive” User interface
Google says it want to take advantage of
every pixel available on the screen creating a immersive experience for the
user. Google is planning on creating this experience by allowing developers to
hide the menu of the App allowing the content that is displayed to take up the
full screen resolution. It is very similar to the same feature in iOS 7
5. NFC
“Tap to Pay”
All
though we have previously discussed the
security issues regarding NFC technology Google has now
implemented a even easier way. NFC payments now work with any mobile
carrier, and lets apps manage your payment information in the cloud or on your
device. Now you can tap to pay with Google Wallet or other apps that
support it.
