We have great news for al Nexus 10 owners! Google has recently released a new build of Android 4.4 KitKat for several Nexus devices. Nexus 10 is one of them too and it can finally be updated from JWR66U or from KRT16O to the latest version KRT16S. This build includes bugfixes not only for this model, but also for the original Nexus 7 or Nexus 7 2013, including both Wi-Fi and mobile versions, as well as for Nexus 4. As for Nexus 5, it seems that it is the only one which requires a different Android 4.4 KitKat build – KRT16M, but things are moving a bit slower in this case.
