Google apparently slips unannounced Nexus phone in its KitKat video
Earlier today, Google announced its upcoming Android 4.4 KitKat software update. In tandem with the announcement, Google posted a video that showcases the unveiling of the KitKat statue at the company’s headquarters.

Here’s a copy of the video:
