Micromax might be one of the most popular domestic handset makers; however the company has not regularly been releasing software updates for its smartphones.

Now a tweet by MMXNewscaster, a source of leaks related to Micromaxmobiles, has claimed that the company is working on Android 4.4 KitKat update for its Canvas series smartphones. The tipster has revealed the model numbers of the Canvas smartphones, which include high-end as well as budget Android Canvas devices also.

According to MMXNewscaster, Micromax is working on Android 4.4 KitKat updates for the following smartphones: Micromax A110 Canvas 2, Micromax A110Q Canvas 2 Plus, Micromax A111 Canvas Doodle, Micromax A116 Canvas HD, Micromax A117 Canvas Magnus, Micromax A116i Canvas HD, Micromax A210 Canvas 4, Micromax A114 Canvas 2.2, Micromax A240 Canvas Doodle 2 and Micromax A250 Canvas Turbo.

Notably, the tipster also claims that Micromax would also release the Android 4.4 KitKat update for the yet-to-be-announced Micromax A200 smartphone, which was leaked recently. However, there is no word from the tipster on rollout of the Android 4.4 KitKat update for Canvas smartphones.

MMXNewscaster's tweet reads, "New Year KitKat Surprise! ETA unspecified." The tweet is accompanied by hashtag 'surprise can gift happiness' tagline, hinting that the company might announce the new Android upgrade for its customers as a New Year gift.
