[Blog] Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) and Android 4.4 KitKat: analysis, confirmation and ... - Everything Android

Blog has posted a new item, 'Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) and Android 4.4 KitKat: analysis, confirmation and ... - Everything Android'

Into Today we were able to remove the veils of Android 4.4 KitKat for the first time ever, even though it was a non-final build of the system. From the pictures emerged and published in our article, in fact, it clearly says that the build number is KRS65B , quite “dated” with respect to the names of the latest build leaked to the network. This de ve us to reflect on the fundamental question of the final build of Android 4.4 could offer new features, further modifications to the interface, more stability, more customization, and much more. Why? Simply because today you hold only a test build.

Into That said, let us analyze in depth the images shown in the previous article.

We start from the hardware


Into The operating system is installed on a device that at first glance seems to be a Nexus 4 . But it will be a really Nexus 4 ? Or will it be a Galaxy Nexus ? Or is it the Nexus 5

Into As already mentioned, at first glance it seems a Nexus 4 on which you installed the test build of Android 4.4 KitKat , but there are some elements that would negate this hypothesis. First, the Nexus 4 has a chrome frame that runs along its edges, which has not find in any of the following leaked images.

We can therefore exclude the possibility that it is a Nexus 4 in the light of what has just been said and seen. Thanks to rasty + + , however, we take food for thought: it is the Galaxy Nexus ? The Galaxy Nexus , however, has an AMOLED type display , so one would expect of blacks almost absolute. From the pictures, though, you can see it is not so, so we can rule out the possibility of also Galaxy Nexus .

It will then Into the Nexus 5 ? Well, if it was called in this way, we could say with certainty. This is because the following image you can see the interesting details that we list below.

Into IMG_3359

So Into:

  • class=”c4″> Model number – Nexus 4 : right; smartphone on which it seems that this build has been installed is a Nexus 4. This might lead us to think that the smartphone will not be called Nexus 5 but will be called Nexus 4 again, as has happened with the Nexus 7. It may therefore be a Nexus 4 2013 as well as there is a Nexus 7, 2013.
  • Android version – KeyLimePie : we have said in many other articles and let me say it again. Being an old build, is still reported the previous name of Android 4.4. Build most recent and final name will almost certainly KitKat. Therefore, we are not to dwell too much on this point.
  • Baseband version – M8974A-0.0.21.0.07 : Indicates the version of the baseband firmware that manages the radio. This particular version of the baseband that we find on board of this smartphone (Nexus 4 2013) would be even earlier than that is currently on the Nexus 4, which is the M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.84. The fact that the baseband found on board is an earlier version than the current one should make us reflect on a very important aspect: the 4G LTE. The Nexus 4, in fact, supports this network technology but Google has decided to make that piece of hardware silent updating the baseband on the Nexus 4. Thus, the fact that we find on the Nexus 4 2013 a previous baseband (ie with LTE enabled), should be to confirm the full support of this LTE smartphone. We thank Alberto for reminding us.
Into Another thing to note is the following:

Into IMG_3346

Build Number shows the build number with the respective internal name of the device on which it is installed. Each facility has an internal name:

  • class=”c4″> Nexus One : passion
  • Nexus S : frizz
  • Galaxy Nexus: maguro
  • Nexus 4 : mako
  • Nexus 4 2013 (5 Nexus ): hammerhead?
Into There is nothing new the name “ hammerhead “, which often check on the net in relation to the news about the Nexus 4 2013 (or, if you prefer Nexus 5 ) . Appear to be confirmed two things:

  1. class=”c4″> one in the picture is a smartphone Nexus never seen before, and so it may actually be the new Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5);
  2. the internal name of the Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) is “hammerhead”, which translated literally means “head of a hammer.”
Into Another aspect that we confirm that one in the picture is the Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) is related to the photos themselves. As you know, with a good camera you can take pictures very close to the display so that you can see the individual pixels when you zoom in, the pixels with the naked eye you would not see on a display with high density. Well, in all the photos that have been uploaded to the Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) , the display looks very defined and, if the eye does not deceive us, it does not seem possible to distinguish clearly the pixels that compose the panel also magnifying images. This would be further confirmation of the fact that the device captured in photo is a smartphone Nexus with a display having even higher resolution than the display of the Nexus 4. It must be so of the Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) on board with a display with full HD resolution.

Into addition, if once again the eye does not deceive us, the device caught on photos would have a display that reproduces the vibrant colors than those who play the display of the Nexus 4 . For this reason we can expect the Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) has a display with more saturated colors, very similar to the one on Nexus 7 2013 .

Into Final confirmation, however, we have the following picture which we got thanks to our colleagues at HDBlog:

Into nexus 5

Into lightening the image is trivially possible to note the presence of a front camera (left) and the speaker for calls (right). This configuration is the one we saw in the pictures of the real Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) .

Into Many of you, however, will be wondering: but how much there is to frame side edges of this smartphone? At first glance it would seem that really the frame on the side Nexus 4 is of a size smaller than this that we see on Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) .

Into IMG_3455

Into However, I invite you to consider that, as well as the build is “old” compared to the last leaked to the network, even your smartphone may not be in its final version. May in fact be even a prototype. So, be very careful and do not be easily fooled by the pictures.

Into Another deception might be the following, which shows that on the left side there is a very small button affiche you might think that it is the one dedicated to the volume.

Into nexus volume 5

Into In other more detailed images, however, you can clearly see how that key is actually much larger, and that is in fact the volume rocker.

We ended up on the hardware side? Yes, almost. It lacks only one thing: the Notification LED . Present! As you can see from the image below, there is the possibility to control (like on Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7, 2013) the pulsation of the Notification LED.

Now to software

Into Some differences you can find them in the application Gallery This Android 4.3 and Android 4.4 . The following screen shots are shown in the image gallery found on Nexus 4 and Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) . As you can see, with Android 4.4 KitKat icons of the effects applied to images have a width smaller than those found on Android 4.3 , so much so that the Nexus 4 screen stops the effects “ White / Black and Bleach “, while Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) goes beyond .

Into nexus 4-5

Into Continuing the discussion on the operating system, we show in particular this image.

Into IMG_3376-550x366-460x306

Into Notice anything strange? The most observant will have noticed that the grid of the icons in the app drawer is different from that of the Nexus 4. On Nexus 4 2013 (Nexus 5) we have in fact a 5 × 4 grid of icons , while on the Nexus 4 we have a grid of 5 × 5 icons . It then returns to the configuration already seen on the Galaxy Nexus, also favored dall’aspect ratio of 16:9 that we should find in the new Nexus . Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that the Nexus 4 with Android 4.4 KitKat remains with a 5 × 5 grid as now.

Into Another difference is also found in the application of Camera . As you can see from the following picture, in fact, when you go in the app’s camera Android 4.4 KitKat (left) buttons appear Navigation system, which instead are from Android 4.0 ICS in the form of dots faded down (right image).

These are in detail the information that we were able to extrapolate from the sun images that we have acquired this morning. Of course, in case you notice other differences, feel free to comment and segnalarcele.
