HOW TO

USE THE

QR CODES

K itKat and the Nexus 5 are here,

MY HOME SCREEN

On (and off) Andy’s

phone this month…

Zero-click access to the best

apps in the Google Play store

and they are among the most

exciting new products we’ve

seen on Android. KitKat, or Android

4.4, is a major update both in terms

of the new features it introduces

– many of the built-in apps have been

overhauled and enhanced, and in

some cases completely replaced –

and in the ‘under the hood’ improvements that should

hopefully go a long way towards tackling the platform’s

fragmentation issue once and for all. The reduced

hardware requirements for 4.4 will mean the OS can run

smoothly on lower-end hardware, and will help make

Android much more competitive on entry-level devices,

while also pushing it into new markets.

The Nexus 5 is a major new phone for the Android

ecosystem. Like other recent devices sold under the

Nexus banner it is astounding value, undercutting its rivals

by a considerable amount, but it is also a true high-end

device with specs as good as anything around. What’s

different is that the Nexus 5 is much more of a Google

device than the others were. With Google Now on the

home screen, Hangouts as the sole messaging app and

Search now built directly into the dialer it is more evidence

of Android’s gradual shift away from open source. The

core OS itself remains, of course, as open as ever, but

many of its best and newest features aren’t. It’s not quite

clear what the implications of this are. We’ll get a better

idea once the likes of Samsung and Sony begin rolling out

their interpretation of KitKat to their devices.

A QR code is a 2D barcode that can act

as a shortcut for delivering information,

such as weblinks. You’ll notice them

throughout the mag – scan them on

your phone and you can download apps

and send us messages instantly.
