Verizon Droid Ultra, Maxx and Mini getting Android 4.4 KitKat as of now

Good news for owners of Verizon’s Motorola Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx and Droid Mini: that soak test that we told you about several days ago was indeed related to KitKat. As of today, Verizon is officially rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat updates for all three handsets. As almost always, the updates are being delivered in phases.

Android 4.4 KitKat will bring many improvements to the three Droids, including a brand new full-screen mode, stronger security, smarter power mode, and color emoji support. There are also several apps and widgets that are being updated, like Motorola Assist, Quick Office, Amazon Kindle, Verizon Mobile Security and Verizon Tones.

Other Verizon Motorola smartphones that will get Android 4.4 KitKat are the Droid Razr HD, Droid Razr HD Maxx, and the Droid Razr M. Verizon didn’t say exactly when these will receive the update, but we have a feeling that it won’t be long now.
