It looks like Android’s latest iteration will see the light
of the day in October, as Nestle has revealed the first news about the launch
of Android 4.4 KitKat on facebook.
While replying to a user who asked “When Android 4.4 KitKat
will be available”, Nestle German KitKat Facebook handle replied “Android 4.4
KitKat is available from October “(Google translation).
While this might not be an official confirmation about
Android 4.4 KitKat’s release, at least the German Nestle Facebook handle was
kind enough to confirm that it is coming next month.
Earlier this month, the search engine giant which has been
known for nicknaming its Android operating systems for smartphones and tablets after
desserts, had for the first time announced a candy brand name for the version
4.4. However, Google made no mention of when the android 4.4 update would
rollout.
The search giant has been in news ever since it announced
the next iteration of its mobile operating system, with the Nexus 4 successor,
which is expected to be the platform lead device for Android 4.4 jelly, making multiple
appearances on the Internet via FCC filing and image leaks.
In the official promotional video of the Kitkat announcement
released by Google, a person seen holding up a phone which came with Nexus logo
at the back, very identical to the Nexus 7 (2013). The back of the mysterious
phone had a matte finish and include a large camera lens which has not been
seen on any Nexus device, yet.
Recently, the alleged Nexus 4 successor was again spotted in
new images and a video. The purported pre-production unit of the next Nexus
smartphone revealed the front and rear panels. It is rumored that the Nexus smart
phone would run Android 4.4 KitKat OS and both are expected to be launched at
the same event.
