Beautiful & Immersive
A more polished design, improved performance, and new features.
Just say “Ok Google”
You don’t need to touch the screen to get things done. When on your home screen*
or in Google Now, just say “Ok Google” to launch voice search, send a text, get directions
or even play a song.
A work of art
While listening to music on your device, or while projecting movies to
Chromecast, you’ll see beautiful full-screen album and movie art
when your device is locked. You can play, pause, or seek to a specific moment.
Immerse yourself
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.
Just swipe the edge of the screen to bring back your status bar and navigation buttons.
Faster multitasking
Android 4.4 takes system performance to an all-time high by optimizing
memory and improving your touchscreen so that it responds faster and
more accurately than ever before. This means that you can listen
to music while browsing the web, or race down the highway
with the latest hit game, all without a hitch.
Smart & Simple
Google smarts improve every corner of the Android experience.
The future is calling
The new phone app automatically prioritizes your contacts based on
the people you talk to the most. You can also search for nearby
places and businesses, your contacts, or people in your Google Apps domain.
A smarter caller ID
Whenever you get a call from a phone number not in your contacts,
your phone will look for matches from businesses
with a local listing on Google Maps. Learn more about caller ID by Google
All your messages in the same place
Never miss a message, no matter how your friend sends it.
With the new Hangouts app, all of your SMS and MMS
messages are together in the same app, alongside
your other conversations and video calls. And with the
new Hangouts, you can even share your location and send animated GIFs.
Emoji everywhere
Sometimes words can’t express how you feel. For that, there’s Emoji,
the colorful Japanese characters, now available on Google Keyboard.
Grab & Go
New features help you get things done while you’re on the move.
Print wherever, whenever
Now you can print photos, documents, and web pages from your phone or tablet.
You can print to any printer connected to Google Cloud Print,
to HP ePrint printers, and to other printers that have apps in the Google Play Store.
Pick a file, any file
From apps like Quickoffice, you can open and save files on Google Drive,
other cloud storage services, or your device. And with quick access
to recently used files, it's easier than ever to send the file you were just working on.
Your office, anywhere
Create and edit documents, spreadsheets and presentations from your
phone or tablet with the newly redesigned Quickoffice
