Motorola has confirmed that the new Moto G will ship with Android 4.4 KitKat when it goes on sale in the United States early next year. Those who have already bought a Moto G — or plan to in the coming weeks — will be upgraded to KitKat by the end of January.
It has already been released by Sprint and Verizon, and now AT&T is finally bringing the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to customers with a Samsung Galaxy S4. In addition to support for Galaxy Gear, the 718MB release adds the new KNOX security features, as well as TouchWiz improvements and other new features.
Motorola has today announced the midrange Moto G at an event in São Paulo, Brazil. The device looks a lot like its sibling, the Moto X, but it has a slightly smaller display and lesser specifications that make for a significantly cheaper price tag.
The Samsung Galaxy S III’s Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, which first started reaching international handsets on November 4, is now rolling out in the United Kingdom. It will reach unlocked and unbranded handsets first, and users will be able to download and install it over-the-air or via Samsung’s KIES app for Mac and PC.
Sprint has launched a handful of new Android-powered smartphones today, including Google’s brand new Nexus 5, the LG G2, the Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, and the Samsung Galaxy Mega. All four devices are available online and in Sprint stores.
