Motorola Moto G Gets Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update

Boy, don’t you just love the efficiency of the folks over at Motorola? They surely did not waste much time at all, after the Motorola Moto G was introduced slightly more than a month ago, having worked hard to make sure that the Motorola Moto G will be on the receiving end of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system update today. Of course, the Moto G handsets that are eligible for this particular update will be the ones that were purchased from Motorola.com or Amazon.com in the US, and it would also enable Moto G users to be able to print out emails and photos from the phone (with the help of a connected printer, of course, just in case you had the idea of a built-in printer within the phone itself. Wait a minute, that ain’t too shabby an idea now, is it?).

Just what will this update bring? We are looking at newly designed status and navigation bars, a full-screen mode, support for color emojis, improved closed captioning, enhanced security, and smarter power use among others. There is also a brand new dialer that will enable you to look up contacts directly from the dialing pad, or you can always opt to tap frequent contacts in order to make a call. The camera on the Moto G should also see some improvement, but do not expect to capture 1-billion pixel images just yet. [Press Release]
