To replicate the present
state of play for smart-phones that are running on its mobile
operating system, Google has updated its Android developer portal on
last Monday. When it comes to talk about the figures, it shows that
Android 4.x rules the market with 60% of smart-phones and tablets
running these versions. Currently, approximately 1.4% of android
devices are running on the latest version of the OS – Android 4.4
KitKat update.
As we all know that the
all new OS was introduced on the Nexus 5 at the end of October month.
However, three months later Sony is still launching its smart-phones
with the older Android 4.3 version (Jelly Bean). One of the main
reasons behind this that all the manufacturers and networks wanted to
test and tweak the software before they launch it in the market in
the front of you.
Well, there are lots of
people, who don’t care about the new update and some are there, who
care and reaming ones are still running the updated software. Here,
you can find a complete list of the well-known devices from different
manufactures so that you will get complete information like when to
launch and which phones from which manufacturers, etc.
Motorola:
Now, most of the people
worldwide know that Motorola is now a Google company, so all the
people can expect that the company’s phones will quickly get
updates to KitKat. This week, we have already seen a budget Moto G
that getting the KitKat update while the Moto Z is expected to launch
in the UK with its latest version of Android.
When it comes to
pre-Google Motorola phones, the Droid family has already begun to get

problem. Currently, there is no news about updates to the Droid
smart-phones in the UK.

the Nexus 5, LG’s Nexus 5 is running on Android 4.4 from the
launch, but the company’s popular model LG G2 is still running on
older version of the OS. The company announced that its plans for
KitKat is only for its home territory and for the world, still the
company has not decided.
However, lots o people
have seen a YouTube video, showing a LG G2 device that running on
KitKat with a renovated interface. While, there are no many details
obtainable about the device like when the update is coming to the UK.
Samsung:
Samsung is one of the
biggest and most popular smart-phone manufacturers that provide a
complete range of Android smart-phones with different price tags,
sizes and shapes. News is coming that company’s premium
smart-phones will surely get the update, but mid-range devices will
not. Currently, the only phone that got an update is the Galaxy Note
3. As per the latest reports, the most advanced device Galaxy S4 will
get the update later in this month, so users just crossed their
fingers and wait for the update.
Sony:
Recently, Sony also
announced that its major smart-phones and tablets like Xperia Z,
Xperia ZL, Xperia Z Ultra, Xperia Z1 and more will surely get an
update to Android 4.4, but the company still not declares when.
Last week at CES, the
company has launched the Xperia Z1 compact, and this device will
launch in the next month, but it is going to run on Android 4.3, so
Android KitKat update is still surely a little away. Being one of the
leading Japanese multinational consumer giant, Sony has confirmed
that the roll out will be “phased”.

full-of Android smart-phones manufacturers, who are introducing
different types of android smart-phones with different prices, sizes,
shapes and features. Not all of these manufacturers are popular in
the market, but some of the, but which manufacturer is going to

Chinese smart-phone
manufacturers, Huawei and ZTE become major players in the global
market; however, the companies are producing more premium
smart-phones than previously. Still, these companies didn’t say
anything about the phones to get android 4.4 update.
Google’s partner for
the production of the Nexus 7 tablet, Asus, a leading Taiwanese
manufacturer, is already got the update Android 4.4, but the company
does not show any green signal for its Asus’ line of Transformer
tablet update.
