Google Android 4.4.3 to start rolling out to Nexus devices today (Updated)

T-Mobile USA mention of Android 4.4.3 KTU84M buildFollowing rumours that predicted that Android 4.4.3 would be out by now, we have a new potential date for you. According to T-Mobile USA, the latest version of Android KitKat will start rolling out today to Nexus devices. According to various support pages, the Nexus 5, Nexus 4 will receive build version KTU84M of Android 4.4.3 while the Nexus 7 (2013) will receive build KTU84L. Here is hoping it will not be pulled down the same way a similar Sprint update was back in April.

Weighing in at about 54MB, the small update will not bring any new features (despite some rumours suggesting otherwise) but will add a number of security improvements and various bug fixes.

There is no word yet on when Android 4.4.3 might start rolling out to devices at carriers other than T-Mobile USA but it should not be much longer.

This may well be the last update Google makes to Android KitKat before it unveils the next version of Android at Google I/O 2014 at the end of the month.

To manually check for the update on your device, select Settings -> About phone (or About Tablet) -> System Updates -> Check now.

Update: Google has now posted factory images of Android 4.4.3 for supported devices to its Developers site, effectively confirming that the rollout should begin in the very near future. Images are now available for the Nexus 5, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 (2013) Wi-Fi model, Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 10.
