How anticipate in our previous exclusive, we came into possession of even more images on the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat , however, that this time will show how the user interface of the new version of Android . Before we begin, we would like to reiterate once again the concept has already been stated in the previous article, namely that the build currently on board the 5 Nexus (Nexus 4, 2013) is not definitive and, therefore, at the time of deployment of something may change.
We start the aesthetics of the smartphone, which unfortunately we can show only a picture is not very detailed and well understand why. The design of the device is confirmed to be that of previous rumor, so slightly more "square" , but with the back rubber. Confirmed speaker for calls up in the middle.
Lockscreen Android 4.4 KitKat
Now we move on to something more interesting, and that is the lockscreen . From here you can already see the first news that Google will introduce the new version of Android, starting from the top of the screen. As we see, not only are the white icons in the notification bar , but the same notification bar is transparent and nuanced on black only towards the end.
Moving on to the screen lockscreen itself, we note that there is something different than before. While the center circle for the release remained the same, there has been the introduction of the camera icon in the lower right corner , as you can see from the image. Selecting the icon and dragging it to the left will launch the Camera application. The latter, however, may also be launched simply carrying out a swype to the left from the lock screen screen, as is done by Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. The following image shows what we just said.
Launcher
Another important innovation for the new launcher of Android. As we can see, the icon for the App Drawer (application drawer) is now no longer the white border outside but a transparent fill . In addition, there is no longer the horizontal line that is instead of Android 4.0 ICS that divides the quick launch applications from the rest of the elements of the homescreen. In the picture you see below, there are only two quick-start applications (Phone and Camera), and it can be seen especially that of the Phone icon present much more in style "flat." As we see, also, is not only the notification bar to be transparent but also the navigation bar , that is the one that contains the navigation buttons located on the bottom of the system (very in style Moto X).
From the image would seem to be 6 homescreen , but please note that there would be no fixed number of homescreen. When you first start should there be few, not 5 as usual we are accustomed, while the other should be added by hand with the placement of new widgets or applications . In practice, to create a new homescreen, select a widget or an application icon and drag along the edges of the device.
App Drawer (application drawer)
Profoundly modified the application drawer, or the App Drawer to use a more specific language. We no longer have the black background while I browse the application but a kind of transparency very pleasant. The icons are of larger size than the current ones and everything is on full display. For we can do the words "Applications" and "Widget" , while it remains unchanged flip through the effect of "cards" of the app drawer, just as right now. Note, also, that on the Nexus 5 (Nexus 4 2013) the grid of icons of the app drawer is 5 × 4 and should be the same even in the homescreen.
Android 4.4 KitKat: impressions of Use and news
Thanks again to our informant, we can tell you what are the impressions of using the 5 Nexus (Nexus 4, 2013) and we can give you some exclusive information. We've included his words.
Google Now and Search
Now Google is much more responsive. Just simply say "Ok Google" within Google Now to make a new search. Now Google is accessible in two ways: the first is the classic swype upward from the navigation bar, the second is through one swype to left starting with the last homescreen left.
Google Search, instead, you can start by saying "Ok Google" directly from the homescreen.
As we see, then, Android 4.4 KitKat should always be in mode "always listening" , just like the Moto X, and the function may be extended to other languages ​​besides English.
Google hangouts
Google Hangouts has settings that affect the sending and receiving of SMS , but our informant could not test this feature. So there is a high possibility that Google Hangouts with Android 4.4 KitKat allows us to send and receive messages even when you do not have a network connection.
Display, color and boot animation
One thing I've noticed is the screen really bright, vivid colors.
This we see ourselves as in the figures a little higher. Colors of the display are really very beautiful and the display is very bright in general . Also confirmed the new bootanimation, at least for now: should be the same as that of the devices on board Google Edition (Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One).
Speed and Smooth
In addition to being much lighter in weight, it is also much faster than the Nexus 4.
Snapdragon 800 and 2 GB of RAM give you the best with Android 4.4 KitKat. Despite the build still suffers of some bug, is nevertheless fast and Smoothly .
Android 4.4 KitKat, in any case, it seems to be a version of Android much lightened, and this definitely helps performance.
Audio
The audio quality is good, the volume is more or less like that of the Nexus 4, maybe slightly higher. The dual speaker seems to give a good feeling, not like HTC One but something similar.
Acknowledged, then, the two stereo speakers that are located on the bottom edge of the smartphone and the very good audio quality.
Unfortunately we could not provide details on battery life as there are too many elements that come into play and that does not give us a good idea of ​​how tough a single charge.
Camera
There seems to be an image stabilization system, which helps a lot when we hand shaking during shooting. I do not know if it is an optical image stabilization (OIS in this case) or digital. The fact is that it works very well. The quality should not differ from that of the Nexus 4 so blatantly.
Our informant confirms the excellent image stabilization , which as we know is optical.
Therefore, the height of your current thoughts, are you satisfied with Android 4.4 and Nexus KitKat 5 (Nexus 4, 2013)? Of course stay glued on TuttoAndroid as soon as we have more information I will provide the good time. We remind you that you can also follow us on social on: Facebook , Twitter and Google Plus .
Looking forward to it.
