Verizon pushes Android KitKat 4.4.4 update to Moto X smartphones

Verizon pushes Android KitKat 4.4.4 update to Moto X smartphones

Google may have sold Motorola to Lenovo but the search company isn't provide the Motorola Moto X with the latest version of Android KitKat.


Verizon has finally approved Android 4.4.4 and made the update available as an over the air download for Moto X devices on its network. Users looking to nab the update should check their device settings and dig into "about phone" then system updates.


One of the update's most apparent fixes is improving the Moto X camera's overall image quality. Originally the Moto X's camera struggled with some fairly bad dynamic range, but now the fixes help exposures look better without overblow highlights or murky shadows.


The improvements also extend to any images users take in fluorescent lighting and users can finally pause video recordings. Lastly the update also revamps the Moto X's built-in dialer by introducing a new graphical layout and colors to the interface.


The +1 sequel


This time around the Android updates is a bit late, hitting just over a month after 4.4.4 started leaking onto Nexus devices on June 20. We expect this might be last update Moto X users will see until the official release of Android L.


On top of Google working on a new mobile operating system, rumor on the internet street says Motorola is working on a successor called the Moto X+1. The purported Moto X follow up could prominently feature a bigger 5.2-inch screen with a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080.


The new handset is said to be upgraded internally as well with a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 24GB of storage. The styling has also been changed but recent leaks show the smartphone's faux wood panels will make a comeback.
