My wife decided she wanted a larger screen than her old LG Motion. We opted for the LG L70 because of the $49 deal. The device has the features for her limited needs.
Never mind the Metro bloatware. What strikes me as odd, is that the L70 version of Kit Kat is missing the built in Google Now. I downloaded the app from G-Play, but it's not the same. It doesn't have it's own page to the left of the home screen, but just a widget. It doesn't automatically from any screen with a "okay, google", but instead you need to push the microphone button first.
Maybe I'm spoiled with my Google Play bought Nexus 4 which also runs Kit Kat, but seemingly a far different version that's on her phone.
I didn't realize that the pure android would differ so greatly from versions with manufacturer and Metro overlays. It's not just the Google Now.
Or am I missing something, and did it incorrectly?
