Summary: When Google unveiled the Nexus 5 last week, it also debuted the latest version of Android: version 4.4, also known as KitKat. Google says KitKat is built to put what it calls Google “smarts” across the mobile experience. KitKat was designed for more than just Android’s top-tier phones; it’s meant to work on most Android phones – even those with significantly fewer resources and lesser specs. Google wants to get every Android user on the same platform, and aims to do it through its latest OS. KitKat also boasts a lot of new features, like better displays within full-screen apps and a deeper level of control in your phone’s lock screen. Maybe the most exciting new feature, though, is a completely revolutionized dialer. KitKat incorporates search right into your address book, which means you can find the number of that pizza place without having to search the web. KitKat is only available on the Nexus 5 for now, but will be rolling out to most Android devices in the coming months.
