Android 4.4 Kit Kat: 10 features we want to see in it

Google Announced the next version of the Android to be Android 4.4 KitKat .We are expecting to come with a lots of enhaced feature in it.

10. Improved security
Despite its popularity, security is still a core problem for the Android platform. This is primarily down to the Google Play store being a infiltrated with apps containing malware malware, but isn’t the only cause.

Most recently, Bluebox Security discovered a “Master Key” flaw, which means that 99 per cent of devices vulnerable (900 million) can be hacked. A patch is being rolled out as we speak, it’s another major sign that Google needs to do more to ensure its devices are safer.

9. Performance profiles

We would like to see Google step up and offer a variety of modes built into Android, especially for its Nexus range. These will allow the user to save battery overnight, turn up performance when carrying using the device for gaming/multimedia and settings for in between.

8. Visual voicemail 

A native app would be useful to people who are frequently in meetings as they can quickly check whether a voicemail they have received is urgent.

7. Ability to turn off OEM skins on any device

 It would be good if Google built-in a master switch into Android, giving users the choice to switch off these OEM skins without having to root devices. 

6.Find my Droid

With the firm’s extensive mapping service, and GPS included into handset, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for Google to build this functionality into the heart of the OS.

5.Revamped messaging 

This is the feature which has been talked about extensively, due to information leaking. It will be interesting to see to how Google goes about tackling messaging in a world where apps such as Whatsapp dominate.

4.Offline maps and better control over location settings

Google already offers comprehensive guidance through its Maps and Navigation apps, but it does crunch through battery when in use.This feature would be welcome on Android so you don’t have all your apps sending off data. Of course it would help to save battery life too.

3.Improved battery life and performance

There are whispers that Google will upgrade the framework of Android to the Linux 3.8 Kernel. What does this mean for regular users? 
In short, such an upgrade should make Android less memory hungry. Devices should become more efficient as they gobble up less RAM for tasks and inturn this should result in improved battery life.

2. Enhanced multitasking

Android has been at the forefront of mobile computing when it comes to features such as multitasking. Users are able to run multiple apps at the same time and flick between them.It would be great to see Google take the initiative and make a multitasking feature like this standard across all high-end handsets.

1.Complete Android backup

Although it is possible to sync key features such as contacts and apps with a Gmail account – a full blown native backup is lacking from Android handsets.we hope Google will introduce something similar to this with Android KitKat.
