Top Features of KitKat 4.4 Android OS

Google just recently released the much anticipated android KitKat 4.4 OS. With this new release, Google seems to have left lots of controversies as to whether the KitKat 4.4 is a good or a not so good OS update.
 All in all, I’d say it still has a long way to go in feeling the aching tummy of its tech savvy users.

Below are some of the new features of the Android KitKat 4.4

  “OK Google” Voice Command

Now you could easily navigate through your android device without pushing a button by simply giving a command.  To do this, go to your home screen or Google Now and say ‘’OK Google’’ followed by your command.

 Full Screen Album and Movie Art

While listening to music on your android 4.4 smartphone, or streaming movies, you’ll see a full display album and movie art on your screen and you’ll also have the option of pause, play, or skip to view a scene ahead.

 Immerse Mode

Now there are no more distractions when you are on your android phone. With the new immerse display feature, you can play a video, read a document, play a game or do whatever you feel like without the status and navigation bar getting in your way.  They automatically go in hiding and return when you swipe the tip of your screen with your finger.
