The update of Android 4.4 KitKat happening now on the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7

         This morning I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Nexus 4 wanted to update to version Android 4.4 KitKat , and simply turning on my smartphone, meaning that the last OTA is being deployed on all Nexus 4. The update comes just days after Google released an update to fix bugs for some of its other Nexus devices.

This version of Android KitKat OTA for the Nexus 4 has been delayed, probably to allow Google to fix bugs found after deployment on the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 , tablets that have been updated before.

After downloading around 239 MB - 238.9 MB to be exact - and preferably by a WiFi connection, you must have at least 20% of the battery to apply the update. After a few reboots, personally I counted three, you'll have freshly installed build KRT16S.

As mentioned many times on the blog, this update is not a revolution in terms of user experience, especially because it will not bring the new application launcher found on the Nexus 5 . If however you are interested, in other words you have the same interface as in the shots below, follow this link explains everything.
However, if you decide not to install the new launcher manually, here are some new developments that come with the update to Android 4.4: a new phone application, much more ergonomic, the Clock application which have new features, or the ability to print on a printer that supports Google Cloud Print and features tap-and-play to make purchases with a single touch on the screen. Oh, and also the menu bar at the top that displays icons in white with a transparency effect, in contrast to the blue of the previous version
