Last month, Motorola had released Android v4.4.3 in North American regions.
However, Google rolled out a minor v4.4.4 KitKat software, before the Android firmware could reach other regions.

The new v4.4.4 is said to include the enhancements announced in the previous update (v4.4.3) and come up with additional bug fixes for OpenSSL-related vulnerabilities.
