Hello YouTube, as of last night Google
finally released their update for 4.4 KitKat which is now the current version on 4.4.2.
This update brings a few fixes, especially with the
camera and sound associated with the Nexus 5.
The update is for the Nexus 4, Nexus 5,
the Nexus 7 and the Nexus 10 tablets. So we will take a look at it
and see what I think
Okay so I just set up phone up, it is currently running the 4.4.2 update
and as you can see the focusing ring is now
a lot, lot quicker focusing than what is previously was.
So it's always good to see.
We will just turn on HDR+. HDR+ now loads a lot quicker too.
As you can see you can now actually zoom in HDR+ mode.
Using HDR+ you will also notice that a small circle comes up
just as it starts to focus to say it has taken.
You can then swipe to the side to see your picture.
The camera is a lot better than what it was. I will just let you
see it loading
to see what you think of it. I have noticed a big improvement
on how quick the camera opens up now. We'll see what is like from the
lock screen as well.
Opening the camera up from the lock screen is
basically as quick as anything as well, it's really, really quick!
Look how quick that takes! Compared to what 4.4 was like.
So Google really has listened and started to get on board with this camera.
For such
a phone of a low price. You can understand why Google has improved this.
Okay so this is what the room is actually like
now with the soft box turned off. So we will take a picture
to see what it is like in HDR+ mode.
I will light my camera up to let you see a bit better.
So hopefully that helps you see better. It is just a mode I have on the camera like night vision
that adds a bit more backlight. Just to let you see things clearer.
As you can see HDR+ is looking very well.
Even in low light it's focusing better than before!
I'll take a picture and show you what it's like
as you can see it focuses very well, it just takes a second to load. As you can see
it came out alright, here is the picture..
It hasn't come out too bad. I am very happy
with the colour of the picture compared to the colour of the room.
The camera is a massive improvement. Hats off to Google for that one!
So the sound on the Nexus 5 seems to be improved with the new update for KitKat
which in a way is good. Like I said before I was missing phone calls, text messages
and notifications from Facebook and Twitter! At least Google has finally listened and pushed the update out there.
It is always good to see them listening. Another few features as well are some security updates.
People have also mentioned that the
notification light at the bottom of the Nexus 5 now flashes a lot more quickly than previously.
This is good if you have your phone lying about you now see it flashing quicker
Hopefully Google will keep pushing out new updates in the next couple of months
and improve the camera a bit more and add a few more features as well
as it is very basic!
Anyways, until the next time. Thanks for watching.
