Multiple screenshots from a Nexus 7 (2013) tablet reportedly running Android 4.4 KitKat have surfaced online.

The latest set of purported Android 4.4 KitKat screenshots comes courtesy ZDNet which reveals the Android version running on the tablet as 'Key Lime Pie', suggesting that this is not the final Android 4.4 build. However, the new leaked screenshot reveals some important UI changes expected in the next iteration of Android.

Some of the new additions revealed by the alleged screenshots of Android 4.4 include 'Moving mosaic', a new feature which can be accessed when pressing the KitKat logo and appears to be an Android OS timeline as it shows Android's journey from Cup Cake (1.5) to Jelly Bean (4.3); new App Drawer which the site notes looks similar to the Android 4.3 but includes new icons for YouTube, Settings, Google, and Voice Search and QuickOffice app for editing Microsoft Office files.

The new leaked screenshots further reveal revamped clock, stopwatch and timer apps, and a new download section for apps and games. One of leaked screenshots also refers to a new Print feature being available when viewing an image, reportedly allowing the user to save the image as a PDF locally, or even view network printers and print out a hard copy, which was leaked earlier.

Meanwhile, Google in keeping with its tight-lipped ways, has not revealed its plan for the upcoming launch of Android 4.4 and Nexus 5.
