LG G Pro Lite KitKat review

Alright, it's time for me to review the brand new operating system (OS) for LG G pro lite, the android 4.4.2 kitkat. Is there any new features on kitkat 4.4.2?

What are the improvement over the previous OS? and is there any missing features from the original jelly bean 4.1.2, find out in this article.

New features on LG G pro lite kitkat 4.4.2 :

• More QSlide apps (multi window), on jelly bean you only got 5 QSlide apps, on kitkat you got 9 QSlide apps.
• The Quick Memo app is much improved, now it can detect one touch only, that means you can really draw something and other object that touch the screen won't recognized as drawing.
• The Quick Memo app also add new tools and more backgrounds.
• Daydream feature, in my opinion this is not really useful feature.
• Guest mode is now part of the system settings, before it's just like an additional app.
• The android settings/system settings have new look, now it's categorized into networks, sound, display, and general.
• There is a printing options on system settings, which i'm not sure what this is for.
• The clock app have new look but still works pretty much the same way.
• The calculator app have new look but still works pretty much the same way.
• The FM radio app have new look but still works pretty much the same way. 
• The file manager have new look, now categorized into all files, music, image, video, and document for easy access, plus drop box option for cloud storage.
• The movie app now comes with finger gesture.
• The memo app now support password protection.
• The Quick Translator app have new look and now can translate voice.
• The SIM icon, battery indicator, and small clock on notification bar, is now all in white color.
• The messaging app (sms) now can have background image and you can see from which SIM the sms came from (LG G pro lite dual).
• New boot animation and shutdown animation.
• There is a quick shortcut for google now and quick memo, you can do this by swiping your finger up, at the center bottom of the screen.

Missing features on LG G pro lite kitkat 4.4.2 :

• KnockCode feature still not available
• You can't change the SIM color theme (for LG G pro lite dual)
• You can't change the clock style on lock screen anymore
• Factory hard reset seems missing on kitkat

For me, the most disappointing thing about the kitkat is that, it doesn't comes with KnockCode feature, i was hoping KnockCode just like the one on LG G2 mini or LG L90.

Other thing is, compared to jelly bean, the kitkat is little bit slow (it's even worse if you don't do factory reset after upgrading), i hope LG would fix this on the next software update.

There are so many improvement on this kitkat 4.4.2 over the previous jelly bean 4.1.2, but somehow i don't feel like it's a huge different.

Upgrading LG G pro lite from jelly bean 4.1.2 to kitkat 4.4.2 doesn't feel like taking a giant leap, because there is no cool new feature that surprised me.
