The Android 5.0 Lollipop brings a new API that allows us to offer the finest resources to users, since developers can create applications with access to functions such as full manual control or support to capture photos in RAW or DNG format. Features that are not available on the Nexus 4, and will be partially available on Nexus 9.
For the new tablet with HTC seal, the news is more encouraging because (as you can see in the Google response) support for the way manual is guaranteed. Interestingly, on the same page, also talk about devices that are not the Nexus line. Google warns that add support for all these new features will depend on each manufacturer, it requires rewriting the camera HAL module, that is, the camera driver. Although Google employee to report that the company is encouraging manufacturers to strive, the more likely it is that many devices that have the necessary hardware, are left without updates, at least officially.
A hard blow to the owners of a Nexus 4, but that may be more resigned than those who bought a Nexus 9, considering the age and hardware of each device.
