All About Android 4.4 - KitKat

Android 4.4 - KitKat

Android KitKat helped you get things done with just the sound of your voice – just say “OK Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song. And when you are hands on with your device, a new immersive design brings your content to centre stage.


Voice: OK Google

Get things done without touching your screen. Just say “OK Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions or even play a song.



Immersive design

Immerse yourself in what you’re doing. Whether you’re reading a book, playing a game or watching a movie, KitKat’s immersive design hides everything except what you really want to see.



Smart dialler

KitKat prioritises the contacts that you talk to most and you can search for nearby places directly from the dialler. Whenever you get a call from an unknown phone number, your phone will look for matches from local listings on Google Maps. 

Android History from Wikipedia

Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google, based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Android's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation, using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions, such as swiping, tapping and pinching, to manipulate on-screen objects, along with a virtual keyboard for text input. In addition to touchscreen devices, Google has further developed Android TV for televisions, Android Auto for cars, and Android Wear for wrist watches, each with a specialized user interface. Variants of Android are also used on notebooks, game consoles, digital cameras, and other electronics.
