Motorola has today begun rolling out its Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Moto G, making it the first third-party handset to get Google’s latest software after Google’s own Nexus 5. The new software brings user interface changes, performance enhancements, and app updates to the £135 smartphone.

Motorola has today begun issuing invitations to a January 14 press event in London. “Join us on the next step of Motorola’s journey,” the invite reads, ”as we welcome a new addition to the European Motorola family of products.”

Samsung appears to be working on a major overhaul of its TouchWiz user interface for Android. Leaked screenshots of the new interface — which sports a new lock screen and colorful new icons — surfaced on Twitter today, and it’s though this year’s Galaxy S5 could be the first handset to get it.

Sony this week announced the latest addition to its Xperia lineup at CES in Las Vegas, and it’s sure to please those who like high-end smartphones in pocketable packages. It’s essentially an Xperia Z1 that’s been shrunk down slightly; it has all of the Z1’s premium specifications coupled with a smaller 4.3-inch display, and it’s called the Xperia Z1 Compact.

Earlier today, Samsung took to the stage at CES to introduced us to its new range of Galaxy Tab Pro variants, all of which pack some pretty impressive specifications, not to mention their absolutely stunning design. The Tab Pro is available in three sizes — 8.4, 10.1 and 12.2 inches — whereas the Note Pro is only available in the larger size of 12.2 inches.
