Not a great deal has changed in Android 4.4 when it comes to taking photos and recording videos, which is actually a bad thing – the performance of Android's stock camera app is lacklustre at best and downright infuriating at worst. The camera takes too long to boot up, is slow to focus and is often guilty of producing over-processed images.

This update reduces the waiting time when you fire up the camera app and apparently strikes a more agreeable balance between image quality and capture speed.
