Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for Moto G dual
SIM handset in India came much faster
than anticipated.
The update is now
available via OTA (Over the Air). File size is
230MB and it takes about 5 to 7 minutes to
update after the file is downloaded.
Before you update make sure to keep the
battery level over 60%, better still if it’s over
75%.
Here is a brief Moto G review after the
KitKat update
• The data / apps that you have installed
are retained, nothing is lost.
• The user interface is the same you will
hardly notice any difference before
and after the update.
• OTG is supported and you get a
notification too. And when you use a
file manager app you do get the
USBDISK option. With Android 4.3 we
never got the notification and one had
to navigate into multiple folders to
access the pendrive content. Well on
KitKat OTG works out of the box.
• You
can copy data from Phone onto the
Pendrive using OTG.
• Camera interface is the same, nothing
new. Camera quality seems a little
better. The HDR if set in auto mode
(camera will shoot in HDR when
applicable) improves the picture
quality.
• I have not used the handset much
after the KitKat update, but battery
backup looks good almost as on Jelly
Bean 4.3.
• Performance is near about the same
as experienced with Android 4.3.
• GPS lock is fast as it was before
(almost instant and works indoors too).
• Internal storage is 5.52GB and of the
1GB RAM available free RAM is 429MB
free.
• As for gaming all the games that played on
the 4.3 will work on the 4.4 version too. If
you have noticed the FPS is a little better on
with KitKat 4.4.2 Strange that Vellamo
HTML5 is lower but other benchmarks are
close enough.
Go ahead and get the update done. It also
makes sense as future Motorola updates/
fixes will be on the Android 4.4.
OTG works
and your data / apps are retained (but it
would be better to take a backup just in
case). Camera quality seems to have
improved.
