Lenovo had announced it would start the roll-out of Android 4.4 KitKat
for the
Vibe Z smartphone
in a phased manner starting from the last week of May. It seems the
Lenovo Vibe Z is now finally getting the Android KitKat update in
Malaysia.
Soyacincau reports that some Vibe Z users in Malaysia are
receiving Android 4.4.2 KitKat update
and also notes that the update is about 1.2GB in size. The report
claims that the Android 4.4.2 KitKat for Vibe Z is now available OTA
(over-the-air).
We are yet to hear any updates from the Chinese handset maker when the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update will reach Indian users.
According
to Lenovo, the Android
4.4 KitKat update for Vibe Z brings improved 4k video playback
compatibility. In addition, the update also boosts the UI transitions,
such as adding widgets to the home screen easy.

With
the Android 4.4 KitKat update, the Vibe Z will also offer better
management of the multi-window mode on the handset. Other features which
will be added with the update include enhanced notification access,
wireless printing capability, new theme centre, automatic profile
changer and expanded accessibility APIs.
Notably, the company had
also announced the Android 4.4 KitKat update for Lenovo Vibe X, shortly before it
announced a Rs. 3,000 price cut for the phone in India.
The Vibe Z reached
the Indian market earlier this year, and has been available
at Rs. 35,999. The Lenovo Vibe Z at launch ran Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
out-of-the-box.
