Google has started the deployment of Android 4.4.1 on the latest additions to its Nexus range. Nexus 5 is particularly concerned with significant camera enhancements.
Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 phones and Version 4G (LTE) of the 2013 edition of Nexus 7 tablet are now likely to receive a new update to Android 4.4.1. Still belonging to the KitKat branch, it is an OTA (over the air) or a incremental update to a relatively modest weight (about 50 MB) category.
For the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7, the changes appear to be relatively modest: a few additional cosmetic details, and a new radio layer. However, the update reveals much more interesting part for the Nexus 5 as its camera looks to be clearly improved.
The launch of the photo application is quite faster, and most importantly, the pictures grew significantly: more exposed, with automatic white balance and more accurate colors and a more responsive auto-focus. What can undoubtedly contribute to the success of a device that is already being recognized for its excellent price/performance ratio.
Deploying Android 4.4.1 has started but the software will be distributed throughout the devices concerned over the next few days.
