After the release of Android 4.4.2 Jellybean by Google a race amongst the OEM’s began as to who will be bringing the update first to their devices. After the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 GPe receiving the updates, Motorola was one of the first companies to make the update available for its devices.
After the Motorola Moto X receiving the 4.4.2 update it is now time for the owners of its younger sibling the Moto G to taste the flavours of Android KitKat.

- Hangouts – SMS/MMS support : Incorporated a new version of Google Hangouts that supports integrated SMS/MMS messaging. Hangouts can be set as the default SMS app under Settings > Wireless > Default SMS app.

With OEM’s like Samsung, Sony, HTC and LG already planning the road map for delivering the latest and the greatest to its devices it is great to see Motorola leading the race by upgrading two of its devices to Android 4.4. One of the major reasons for such an early release could be the almost stock like experience available on the Motorola devices and also because of most of the system applications being converted to standalone applications.
