The Japanese company Sony has just surprised all owners of the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact by publishing this morning the Android 4.4.4 KitKat update. It is an update that responds to the name of 14.4.A.0.108, and surprisingly incorporates the most recent version of the Android operating system including all the subsequent corrections that have taken place after the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update. The update has been detected in Russia, Italy and Indonesia, and it is only a matter of time before the rest of the countries begin to receive the same file.
The news in this update focuses on small improvements and corrections aimed at solving the problems caused in some terminals after the update of Android 4.4.2 KitKat (published approximately two months ago). Therefore, users will not find any notable visual novelties when updating their Sony Xperia Z1 Compact to the latest version of Android 4.4.4 KitKat, but should only appreciate certain improvements in the operation and fluidity of their smartphone.. The problems detected so far were summarized in interface failures, overheating problems and some errors with the camera application.

In general, the first mobiles to receive this type of update are those acquired freely, while the terminals subject to an operator must wait some additional time to receive the same update.
These types of updates are usually notified to users by means of a notice in the notification bar, although anyone who does not want to wait to update the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact to Android 4.4.4 KitKat also has the possibility to check the availability of the update. manually. To do this, we must enter the Settings application and, once inside, click on the " About phone " section.
