Moto X begins receiving Android 4.4.3 push on T-Mobile and for developer editions

Rocking the Moto X? Then you're going to be pretty happy to find out that Android 4.4.3 is now available through an over-the-air (OTA) update. A few days ago we pointed out that Motorola would begin pushing out Android 4.4.3 to their various handsets throughout the week.

We just picked up the update on our Moto X. T-Mobile customers and those with developer devices are the first to get Android 4.4.3 on their Moto X.

With the update you can look forward to improved camera software with the Moto X. You'll get better exposure consistency, flash colors and fixes for low-light issues. Also look forward to the ability to pause a video recording with a pause/resume button in the viewfinder.

What do you think of this update to your Moto X? Head to the forums for more:
