As for the Android 4.4, Google will not tell in detail about all innovations by focusing only on the key points.
Nexus 5 has an updated launcher that is more integrated with Google Now. By this service you can access with a gesture, as well as just saying, «OK, Google» (as Moto X, the machine “listens” user permanently). The truth is not yet clear, this tight integration with Google Now will only have 5 or Nexus device at all line of Nexus.
Google a little “refreshed” interface in the new version of Android. Neon blue accent was replaced by a white, missing a tab widget in the application menu (there is still a long tapom can install on your desktop), changed some of the icons, the notification panel and the panel with soft buttons are transparent. Application developers have the ability to hide them in order to give the user maximum usable space. However, it is worth mentioning that all this applies only to devices ruler Nexus (and some third-party devices) that use “clean» Android.
important aspect of the new version of Android is optimized for low cost smartphones. Google has announced that it is to work hard on optimizing the use of application memory. In addition, removing some of the background processes and programs that are constantly “hang” in memory, use less resources. This will allow Android to run smoothly even on smartphones with 512 MB of RAM (we also learned even before the announcement).
