'Five years ago we launched the first Android, now the system is healthier than ever and very vibrant,' said Sundar Pichai, Google’s Android boss.

The new handset will be available in black and white, and can be woken up simply by saying ‘OK Google’.
The firm says its new Android software, called KitKat, has been redesigned to allow it to run on far more handsets that previous versions.
KitKat is also designed to unify the different versions of Android available.
