Samsung Galaxy Nexus won’t get Android 4 4 KitKat update

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset has not been invited to the Android 4.4 KitKat party, Google has revealed shortly after unveiling the new candy-themed OS.

The two-year old ‘pure Android’ device, that ushered in the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS in 2011 has reached the end of the end, according to Google’s Spanish support pages.

The decision is somewhat of a surprise considering KitKat has been designed with older, lower memory phones in mind as much as brand new, quad-core powerhouses like the Nexus 5.

Due to that back end work, Google sees Android 4.4 Kitkat as its best chance to solve the long-standing fragmentation problems experienced by the OS, which has left many Android users stranded on outdated versions.

“Building a platform that makes mobile phones accessible for everyone has always been at the heart of Android. Until now, some lower-end Android phones couldnt benefit from more recent Android releases due to memory constraints. With KitKat, weve slimmed down Android’s memory footprint by doing things like removing unnecessary background services and reducing the memory consumption of features that you use all the time.

"We did this not only within Android but across Google services like Chrome and YouTube. RAM (or memory) is one of the most expensive parts of a phone, and now Android can run comfortably on the 512MB of RAM devices that are popular in much of the world, bringing the latest goodies in Android 4.4 within reach for the next billion smartphone users,” the company wrote on its official blog.

If Googles own-branded devices are being ignored from the get go, it raises questions about exactly which smartphones and tablets will be able to benefit from the KitKat update.

So far the company has confirmed only that the Nexus 4 (which succeeded the Galaxy Nexus), the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets today, as well as the ‘Google Play edition’ Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One handsets will get the update, with a host of other devices due to be confirmed shortly.

HTC may be the next Nexus manufacturer as evidence arrives



We have been hearing some words like HTC and Nexus together for a while now, and today here is some added on evidence to party. There is a new Nexus tablet coming up from the Taiwanese multinational manufacturer for smartphones and tablets, HTC. The upcoming Google partnered slate is presently named/codenamed as the Volantis or Flounder, which is an 8.9-inched Android running tablet. Android Police has got their hands on to some information of the impending slate, revealing the devices internal specifications, features and other details regarding the pricing and announcement.

According to the people from Android Police, they dont feel to treat the news as any kind rumors from the air, as their Editor, Liam Spradlin, feels enough confident in their information, they have been receiving from multiple sources on the codenamed Volantis tablet over the past months of the year. Android Police has also posted up a source image along with their latest article, where the new slate is internally mentioned as the Nexus 9. What you see from the above picture is a redrawn Press render by the source, of the image that came with the original filing you see attached below, for the sake of better vision and clearer clarity with the screen on.

The other new reports on the new Volantis tablet from Google and HTC is claimed to be build with premium materials. Okay folks, its a different fact that once we see any rumored or leaked phone or tablet go official from the manufacturers, it doesnt seems to always feature that premium metal construction, as talked earlier, rather making it out of the same polycarbonate chassis. Lets not hope the same here, even though what we see from the initial renderings dont look like any sort of aluminum zero-gap construction with tapered edges, as reported, only resembling the looks of their current flagship, Nexus 5 like industrial design.

And for the the leaked internal specification listing, the new tablet is expected to make it to the public with a 64-bit NVIDIA Logan Tegra K1 processor, 8.9-inches screen of 2048 x 1440 resolution display, at 281 pixels-per-inch and 4:3 aspect ratio (which dont count well here), 16 and 32 gigabytes of internal mass storage options, two gigabytes of Random Access Memory, eight megapixels main shooter on the back with Optical Image Stabilization and LED flash light, a three megapixels front facing snapper. There is also the stereo front-facing speakers, even though we cant find anything from these photographs. The device is measured at 226.3 x 151.8 x 7.8 millimeters in dimensions and the WiFi only model weighs 418 grams, while the LTE version is slightly hefty at 427 grams on mass.

Lastly for the pricing, for now the premium tablets are reportedly priced at 399 United States Dollars for the 16 gigs model and $499 for the 32 gigabytes option, where the LTE enabled version can go up to $600+ tags, according to the words from tipster. But let us remind you that, this are just in case to be more curious and it is suspect to change when this finally becomes a consumer product. The Volantis tablet is also indicated to arrive with some official accessories like keyboard cases and other stuffs. The slate is hinted to come officially to the public presence sometime in the quarter 4 of this year, as a part of Androids L release. Do you remember an unknown tablet that showed its face-off on the Android webpage, at the end of last year?
