Xolo Q1010 Android 4.4

The Xolo Q1010i got the Android 4.4 (KitKat) update few days back. Today Xolo has released the Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) update for the Xolo Q1010 as it promised in May. The Xolo Q1010 was released back in February running Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Xolo promised Android KitKat update for a range of older devices including, Q700S, Q3000 and more. Hope Xolo would roll out the KitKat updates for its older devices soon since it already started selling smartphones running Android 4.4 out of the box.

The Android 4.4 (KitKat) update brings restyled status and navigation bars, color emoji, printing support, a new camera UI, new phone dialer with ability to look up contacts directly from the dial pad, see and tap frequent contacts, and search your corporate directory easily, under the hood improvements and more.

This update is currently not available over-the-air (OTA), and you need to download the 316MB file from the official Xolo support site and load it to the smartphone manually. You can find out the complete instructions from the Xolo support page (PDF).
