The KitKat Facebook of Germany clearly indicates that Android 4.4 KitKat update will arrive in October. The said Facebook page was under the observation of The Unwired which revealed that it is through the comment made by Kit Kat which reads ‘Hi Tim, Android 4.4 KIT KAT is tab Oktober verfugbar’. Kit Kat replied this when a Facebook use named Tim Gruchalski asked ‘Wann Kommt Android 4.4 kitkat?’ which means when will Android 4.4 KitKat arrive.
Another piece of news that is doing rounds in the tech community is that Nexus 5 would be an LG device and it is expected to arrive on Oct 14 with Android 4.4 KitKat onboard.
