The phone dialer sports a light color scheme which is a notable departure from its current look. The messaging app on the other hand, has seen its controls get moved to the top right corner in comparison to the bottom setup we’ve grown accustomed to.

Furthermore, the screenshots reveal lighter color icons in the status bar. The latter’s color scheme also appears to be changing depending on the one of the app in use.

Android 4.4 KitKat is widely expected to be released in the second half of October, alongside a Nexus 5 smartphone. A revamped Nexus 10 is also more than likely to break cover with the new Android version.
