The information that KitKat is optimized to work on older smartphones and tablets supports this, so we are satisfied to find out that Motorola has just confirmed the latest Android update for its Motorola Droid, Atrix and Electrify handsets.

You can only imagine that the story is the same when it comes to the more recently announced Motorola Droid, Atrix and Electrify. But there is no doubt that you’ll be one of those experiencing all its improvements. One of the most anticipated is its new immersive mode.

The memory optimization and the fact that the touchscreen responds much faster allows multi-tasking like you have never seen before, not to mention the new phone app can order the contacts taking in consideration those ones that you’re interacting with most of the time. And don’t leave aside that you can print documents or photos directly from your phone, by using any printer connected to Google Cloud Print or having apps in the Google Play Store.

There are pretty big chances for Android 4.4 KitKat to have already captured your interest, so stay tuned for more info on its release date for these Motorola Droid, Atrix and Electrify handsets.
