Google Android Kitkat Features

Google Android has gained a huge market share for smart phone and tablets. The Googles

mobile OS had become a benchmark for many mobile innovation and new technologies. Till late

the only drawback in Google devices was the not-so-elegant user interface as compared to the

obvious competitors, iOS and Windows Phone.

Recent versions of Android bring with them a number of improvements that take the Android

User Experience at a completely new level. Currently, Android 4.4 KitKat is available for the

Google Nexus 5 device, but will soon be available for the Nexus 4, 7 and 10 in coming months,

the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One. Google Play Edition is already available for smartphone

users.
