Sony Xperia Z1 seen with Android 4.4 KitKat update

  It hasn’t been long since Google released the latest version of its mobile operating system to the public with it only reaching Nexus devices for the time being. This has led to a number of manufacturers to supply details of their plans for the firmware, and now a Sony Xperia Z1 is seen with the Android 4.4 KitKat update already on board.We recently heard of some Sony devices down to receive the latest version of Android that also included older handsets, but as of yet nothing has been released officially to end users. Now though the image that you can see on this page is one of many that feature a red version of the Sony Xperia Z1 out in the wild.Now no official word has come from Sony about a red version of the handset being made available but one of the images shows the handset running Android 4.4.2. Now while a small pinch of salt is needed it does look legit, but we haven’t even seen Android 4.4.1 yet let alone 4.4.2.It is not unusual for Sony to release smartphones in a variety of colours so there is no reason not to believe we will soon see a red version of the Sony Xperia Z1 being released to the public. So until something official comes from the company we will have to wait until maybe next year before we see the new firmware released to owners of the smartphone.Do you like the red Sony Xperia Z1?Source: Xperia Guide.via Phones Review http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/11/23/sony-xperia-z1-seen-with-android-4-4-kitkat-update/

The US variant of the Moto G will launch with Android 4.4 KitKat

a  Here’s some good news if you were planning on picking up a Moto G when it launches in the US next January; it will come with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, no software update needed. We had initially heard rumors that the device might launch with 4.4, but when it was announced, Motorola confirmed 4.3 for the device. However, since the update was slated for early 2014 anyway and the US version of the device isn’t being released at the same time as other devices, it’s apparently given Motorola and Google enough time to get the software up to snuff to launch with.This is definitely good news and makes a compelling argument for the sub-$200 smartphone. It’s certainly not going to be able to compete with the Nexus 5 in benchmarks and pure processing power, but it’ll be able to say it’s one of the few devices that saw a KitKat update in a timely manner.Anybody picking one of these up next year?source: 9to5 Google Come comment on this article: The US variant of the Moto G will launch with Android 4.4 KitKat via Android News, Rumours, and Updates http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums/~3/pWe9ya0nwr0/

Motorola Moto G US release Android KitKat joy

a It seems as if the takeover of Motorola by Google is starting to pay off for the company as this year we have seen some great new handsets launched, and now the latest device the Motorola Moto G US release will bring some Android 4.4 KitKat joy.When the Moto G was officially launched a few days ago the company revealed that the areas where the handset would be available first would see the impressive looking handset running Android 4.3 Jelly Bean straight out of the box.It was also revealed that other areas such as the US wouldn’t see the Motorola Moto G until January, but it has been revealed by Mark Randal, Senior Vice President, Supply Chain & Operations at Motorola the handset will be released with Android 4.4 KitKat already on board.He stated that the device will see different phases with the first one being the likes of the UK, Germany, Brazil, Mexico, and France which will have the smartphone running Android 4.3. These have been promised to be updated to Android KitKat by the end of January, but phase two which begins after Christmas that features the US and South East Asia among other countries will see the handset launch with 4.4 KitKat pre-installed.The handset will eventually reach over 30 countries and the Moto G is really going to give rival OEMs something to think about. The low cost device features an impressive 4.5-inch 720p touchscreen display with 326ppi pixel density, while under the hood we have the quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.2GHz with 1GB of RAM.It comes with either 16GB or 32GB of un-expandable storage and we have a 5-megapixel rear facing camera with autofocus and LED flash paired with a 1.3-megapixel front facer. We have some really exciting news about the handset in the UK which we can’t currently share due to embargos but all will be revealed shortly.Are you going to get the Motorola Moto G?Source: Omio.via Phones Review http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/11/15/motorola-moto-g-us-release-android-kitkat-joy/
