Android for all and the new Nexus 5

Just in time for Halloween, we have two new treats for Android fans. First,
we're excited to unwrap our latest platform release, KitKat, which delivers
a smarter, more immersive Android experience to even more people. And
second, we're introducing Nexus 5—a new Nexus phone developed with LG.

The first thing you’ll notice about KitKat is we’ve made the experience
much more engaging: the book you're reading, the game you're playing, or
the movie you're watching—now all of these take center stage with the new
immersive mode, which automatically hides everything except what you really
want to see.

Bringing more Google smarts to Android
Behind the polish on the screen is the power under the hood. Take the Phone
app, which for most people hasn’t really changed since the days of flip
phones. Now, we’re making calling easier than ever, by helping you search
across your contacts, nearby places, or even Google Apps accounts (like
your company’s directory), directly from within the app. And with the new
Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS messages are together in the same
place, alongside your other conversations and video calls, so you’ll never
miss a message no matter how your friends send it. This is just a small
taste of KitKat—learn more on our site.

Google has always focused on helping users get immediate access to the
information they need, and we want to bring this same convenience and power
to users on Android. With the new Nexus 5 launcher, Google smarts are
deeply integrated into the phone you carry around with you, so getting to
the information you need is simple, easy and fast. Swipe once from the home
screen to get Google Now literally at your fingertips. Put Google to work
for you by saying “OK, Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get
directions or even play a song you want to hear. And in the coming weeks,
we’re enhancing Now with important new card types that bring you
information about contextual topics that interest you such as updates from
a favorite website or blog.

Reaching the next 1 billion users
Building a platform that makes mobile phones accessible for everyone has
always been at the heart of Android. Until now, some lower-end Android
phones couldn't benefit from more recent Android releases due to memory
constraints. With KitKat, we've slimmed down Android’s memory footprint by
doing things like removing unnecessary background services and reducing the
memory consumption of features that you use all the time. We did this not
only within Android but across Google services like Chrome and YouTube. RAM
(or memory) is one of the most expensive parts of a phone, and now Android
can run comfortably on the 512MB of RAM devices that are popular in much of
the world, bringing the latest goodies in Android 4.4 within reach for the
next billion smartphone users.

Introducing Nexus 5
Along with our sweet naming tradition, we also introduce a new device with
each platform release to showcase the latest Android innovations. For
KitKat, we partnered with LG to develop Nexus 5 -- the slimmest and fastest
Nexus phone ever made. Its design is simple and refined to showcase the 5”
Full HD display. Nexus 5 also keeps you connected at blazing speeds with
4G/LTE and ultra fast wifi. The advanced new lens on Nexus 5 captures more
light for brighter night and sharper action shots. And with optical image
stabilization, you no longer have to worry about shaky hands and blurry
pictures. A new HDR+ mode automatically snaps a rapid burst of photos and
combines them to give you the best possible single shot. Learn more on our
site.

Nexus 5 is available today, unlocked and without a contract, on Google Play
in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan
and Korea (and coming soon to India), starting at $349. Just in the time
for the holidays, Nexus 5 will be available soon at the following
retailers: Sprint, T-Mobile, Amazon, Best Buy and RadioShack.

Android 4.4, KitKat, which comes on Nexus 5, will also soon be available on
Nexus 4, 7, 10, the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Play edition
devices in the coming weeks.

How’s that for a treat?
