Motorola Moto G Google Play Edition Now Receiving Android 4.4.4 KitKat Update

Motorola has promised that its Moto X, Moto G and Moto E smartphones will eventually receive the Android 4.4.3 KitKat update and most of those who own these particular devices have already got their updates.

However, it looks like soon after the US-based company made the Android 4.4.3 update available to its customers, Google released another version of the platform. Given the fact that Motorola already has some Google Play Editions released on the market, it makes sense that these should receive the newest Android 4.4.4 KitKat update soon after the Nexus devices. Well, it appears that the Moto G Google Play Edition is now eligible for the said update, AndroidPolice reports. The update is pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, so Moto G owners will be notified when it’s available for them.

Keep in mind that Android 4.4.4 KitKat update is about 160MB in size and it will take between 10 and 15 minutes to download and install it, depending on your network connection. According to the official changelog, Android 4.4.4 KitKat should bring improved performance, as well as various enhancements to security and stability. There are no new features in this update, but Google has included lots of bug fixes.
