The Nexus 5 leaks are getting pretty annoying right? Fear not. We have something new for you. A dude over at Reddit managed to get his hands on the Nexus 5 and has posted screenshots of Android 4.4 KitKat running on the device.
The screenshots show off the new launcher, the always-on listening ability as seen on the Moto X and the new Widgets screen. The dude has also posted screenshots of the new home screen dedicated exclusively for Google Now. You can find all the screenshots over on this Reddit thread.
The dude also answered some questions about the device, which provide quite a lot of information about the device and KitKat. Below is a tl;dr version of all the answers for some of the most asked questions -:
Uses micro sim, kernel is 3.4.0, “Ok, Google Now” listening is present and works with screen off, you will have to swipe up when you use google now while the screen is off, the display is very good, the camera is acceptable and the OS experience is smooth and very responsive.
Another interesting tidbit shared by the dude is that KitKat will be coming with a full online backup solution, something like Apple’s iCloud. Google will, apparently, also include 100GB of free storage space on Drive for 2 years. (newenglandtours)
Google is expected to unveil the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4 KitKat today, so it won’t be long before we get to know about the all the new features included in the OS.
