In an effort to create a balance in the force, Google has dropped the Android 4.4.3 image for the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 2013 (excluding the LTE version at present), Nexus 7 2012, Nexus 4 and Nexus 10 on their downloads page. It's a 440-465MB download, and you'll need fastboot set up to install it. We've not yet seen any OTA updates, but we imagine they are coming if you'd rather wait. More details and download links after the break.

 

So far the only major change we're seeing is a visual refresh to the Phone app, bringing a card-based view for "Speed Dial" contacts along with a new accent color. The update is also expected to fix bugs relating to CPU usage and the Nexus 5 camera that were acknowledged by Google a couple months back.

It feels good to own a Nexus device :)

 What was the point of this much wait for a 0.0.1 update?

The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Are there any pictures of the Re-vamped phone app? I'd like to see what it looks like.

What was so broken about them. I've never had issues. Was it broken only on Nexus 5?

 whats the point of IOS 8 ???

 

Seriously? iOS 8 brought up a truckload of changes, more than what KitKat brought for Android. Sure in the end it was what iOS 7 should have been but it is still significant for iOS.

mostly in nexus 5. Minus the camera bug. It causes really high CPU usage on rare occasion on multiple phones running KitKat. I don't know the exact details of the change log but I know the camera big was addressed.

iOS had to play catch up with Google. So it's not a fair comparison.

I'd buy a Nexus 5, but it costs money.
