Sony Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 Dual get Android 4.4 KitKat update

Just after the Xperia E1 and E1 Dual, Sony has begun rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat for the Xperia M2 and M2 dual. The KitKat update for the M2 brings in emoji support, cloud printing, new KitKat core, move to SD card option and UI enhancements.

Here's the changelog of the Android KitKat update for the Xperia M2 and Xperia M2 Dual:

• Google’s Android 4.4; KitKat as standard – bringing performance & UI optimisation
• We’ve added our tweaked Status Bar and Quick Settings… now more intuitive and customisable (and pretty easy on the eye)… cleaned up to ensure you only get the notifications you really need
• If you’ve got a Sony PlayStation 4, you might recognize our new user interface – we’ve added the same sleek launch animation and live wallpaper across the lock and home screens
• Better storage choice – you now have the option to easily move applications from internal memory to SD card – we recognised the need to have more control over your content… as something particularly useful for devices with slightly less space
• We’re also uplifting Sony’s entire native app portfolio to the latest versions – bringing tweaked / improved / current experiences for (to name but a few): Messaging, Smart Connect, TrackID, What’s New, and Battery STAMINA Mode, Sony’s Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies
• And proving pretty popular, now totaling over 2 million downloads (!) – our unique custom interface experience: “Xperia Themes”, with downloadable UI packs from Sony Select – skin up to 280 assets across your Xperia smartphone with a variety of styles…
• Compatibility with our SmartWear Experience; SmartBand SWR10 and Lifelog app – enabling you to record social, physical and entertainment activities and have them all visualised in a beautiful interface… reminisce at that past, make the best of the present and plan for the future

Sony has stayed true to its promise of updating its current line-up to Android KitKat.
