There is some good news in store for Motorola users. The Google owned company has announced several of its older smartphones which are in line to join the Android 4.4 Kitkat brigade. By next year users will see up to 10 smartphones getting Kitkat 4.4 update as mentioned on Motorola’s support website.
Moto X update came just three weeks after the launch of the new OS. Update for regular and developer edition and has already begun on Verizon. That makes Verizon’s Moto X the first Moto X model to be updated to KitKat. This surely is an indication that other U.S. and international Moto X versions will receive the eagerly awaited update soon.
Verizon users on contracts can rejoice. Motorola’s website states that Verison’s Droid RAZR HD (both regular and developer edition) Droid RAZR MAXX HD, Droid RAZR M (regular and developer edition), DROID Ultra, DROID Maxx, DROID Mini, will all be getting an Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade very soon.
It doesn’t stop here. Surprisingly, Motorola’s Electrify M for US Cellular and Atrix HD for AT&T will also get Android 4.4 Kitkat. The developer edition of Atrix HD will have to be content with Jelly Bean as of now. Since the developer version of Atrix HD isn’t getting a 4.4 update we can’t rule out that this is a mistake.
Although there hasn’t been any official communication on the actual release of the software upgrades, we believe the detailed timelines will soon be made official by the company.
It doesn’t come as a surprise to see Google pushing the new OS to older devices of Motorola as Kitkat has been especially optimized to work on older models to reduce fragmentation.
Motorola has also announced a Trade Up program for users who own old Motorola devices. All you have to do is return your old Motorola device and get a rebate of $100 on a Moto handset (Jelly Bean) which would be updated to Kitkat soon.
