Since Apple released its new OS version iOS7, Android has been eagerly waiting for the launch of their new version Android 4.4 or "KitKat"also called "Key Lime Pie". The only officially released info abot the Google's OS is that the new update is that it will be called 'KitKat'. No other information about the new version is released.
The new version will be competing with iOS7 which is already released and Windows phone 8.1 which is yet to be released.
We can expect the release of KitKat with Nexus 5. We have compiled the infos about the release date, features and rumors about the new version.

Better looking new User Interface

Apple's new update entirely swiped the appearance of iPhones and they are now similar to Android. This means that the appearance of android is far more attractive than ever.

Rumored changes include a revised color scheme, improved notifications and other general UI enhancements. Stock Android - that is, the version which will ship on Nexus devices - looks better than ever.

Wider hardware support

Android will be expanding its hardware support for KitKat. Rumor spreads that the new version will be compatible many devices than ever before. Google will be lowering the requirement settings for the working of the new version. By doing this all of the smartphone devices which are stuck in the lower versions can catch up with the new version of Android.

Exclusive Cloud-based system

We can already backup our photos using Google+ and it's possible to restore certain settings whenever you sign into a new Android device.We can simply retrieve all the settings simply by log into the account. We may well see it in new version 4.4, and it could take us one step closer to ditching onboard storage altogether.

Better battery life

Android 4.4 is will be to make better use of multi-core CPUs and is apparently "lightweight" in terms of the demands it places on the hardware.This means the Better Battery Stamina of the New Android 4.4.Since low battery life is a big failure in case of so many smartphones, google will be hard working for creating an efficient and less power required Android.We can expect a smoother and efficient version of the Android.

Improved security and bug-squashing

Android 4.4 will be coming with tons of new improvements over apps reducing the bugs and errors.But rumor says that there possibility of errors on certain devices. Here are some of them,

Connectivity in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS
Deletion of System Files during the Update
Network Instability
Shortness on Response and Other System Problems

You must be very careful while doing the update inorder to reduce the errors and bugs.

Release Date

Android not yet announced the release date of the new version but Rumors have pointed to an Android 4.4 KitKat launch in October, alongside a Nexus 5 and an Asus Nexus 10.
