The Moto E is a budget phone, just $129 with no contract, but is a solid little piece of tech. It's got Corning Gorilla Glass, water-repellent splash guard, and a 1980 mAh battery that's designed to last an entire day. While it comes with a 1.2GHz Snapdragon 200 processor and 1GB of RAM that won't let it play the fanciest games out there, it will come with an update to the latest version of Android installed, as shown in the video below. Check out the reveal at the :40 second mark.
Months ago, it was revealed that Google had an update to Android 4.4.2 KitKat on the way, and this "Android 4.4.3" version would contain massive bug fixes and tweaks to the OS. There's no new features or UI improvements, this is solely to squash any problems that people are having with 4.4.2, and Google was said to be releasing the update first to Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 users sometime soon. The rumored release date of April has come and gone but it seems likely that it will hit soon and then start rolling out to other systems.
