Yesterday we heard a rumor that Sprint were going to release the Google Nexus 5 Android 4.4.3 update, and the update is now apparently available for the Nexus 5 on Sprint.
As yet there are no details on what is included in the Nexus 5 Android 4.4.3 update on Sprint, and it is not clear when the update will be available for the Nexus 5 on other carriers.
If you have received the Android 4.4.3 update on your Google Nexus 5 on Sprint, leave a comment and let us know. If you haven’t received the update as yet, you can check to see if it is available through the setting menu.
What to Expect in the Android 4.4.3 Update
The Android 4.4.3 update is expected to bring a number of improvements and bug fixes to the Nexus 5. While the exact details of the update for Sprint users have not been disclosed, previous updates have typically included enhancements to the camera, battery life, and overall system stability. Users might also see improvements in the user interface and performance optimizations that make the device run smoother.
For example, the camera improvements could include faster focusing, better low-light performance, and enhanced color accuracy. Battery life enhancements might involve better power management and reduced power consumption by background apps. System stability improvements could address random reboots and crashes that some users have experienced.
Availability on Other Carriers
We previously heard that Google were expected to release the Android 4.4.3 Kit Kat update over the next few weeks, so we suspect it will start rolling out to other Nexus devices shortly. This means that users on carriers other than Sprint should keep an eye out for the update notification on their devices. Typically, these updates are rolled out in phases, so it might take a few days or even weeks for all users to receive the update.
If you are using a Nexus 5 on a different carrier, you can manually check for the update by going to Settings > About Phone > System Updates. This will prompt your device to check if the update is available for download.
As soon as we get some more details on when the Android 4.4.3 update will be available for Google’s Nexus range of smartphones and tablets, as well as other devices, we will let you guys know. It’s also worth noting that other Nexus devices, such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10, are likely to receive the update around the same time.
In addition to Nexus devices, other smartphones and tablets that run on stock Android or have minimal customizations might also receive the update soon. Manufacturers like Motorola, which has a close relationship with Google, often roll out updates quickly after Nexus devices.
If you are eager to get the latest features and improvements, make sure your device is charged and connected to a Wi-Fi network before attempting to download and install the update. This will ensure a smooth and uninterrupted update process.
