Android 4.4

Android 4.4 KitKat was released in 2013. This was a significant release that brought a number of improvements to the user interface and performance.

Main changes:

  • Updated interface design – a more modern look for the desktop, folders, icons and widgets.
  • Optimizing the use of RAM and increasing system speed. KitKat ran smoothly even on smartphones with 512 MB RAM.
  • Security improvements and new functionality.

Key innovations:

  • Google Now integration and the ability to launch with a swipe up.
  • Full screen music playback mode.
  • Translucent desktop and icons.
  • Combining SMS and Hangouts.
  • Built-in Google Chrome browser.
  • Supports printing via Google Cloud Print.
  • Quick Office integration with Google Drive.
  • Supports Bluetooth 4.0 and Bluetooth LE.
  • Device protection mode against theft and loss.

Today KitKat is very outdated and not used. The latest versions of Android are vastly superior in every aspect.
