Google’s Android KitKat 4.4.4 update for the Motorola Droid models could be out soon.

After the much anticipated Android KitKat 4.4.3 update rolled out on June 2, 2014, Google unexpectedly pushed out another update on June 19, Android KitKat 4.4.4.

The latest update provided a small security update for an OpenSSL vulnerability.

Android KitKat 4.4.4 was first implemented on Google’s Nexus models — the Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10 — and has since been pushed out to Motorola’s Moto G, Moto E, and Moto X.

The Motorola Droid series is set to get the next wave of Android KitKat 4.4.4 updates, according to a change log acquired by Android Central.

The Motorola update, which is more than 200MB in size, will not only provide the Android KitKat 4.4.4 security patch, but will also come with in improved visual voicemail, camera enhancements, and ISIS mobile payments.

The update will be released to soak testers soon, before being pushed out to the general public in about a day or two later.

Soak tests are done to gauge if there are any major problems to the software before it is pushed out on a large scale.

There is no set release date yet, but there was speculation in early June that the update would roll out in about three to five weeks time.

As it is about three week since the speculation, this means that the Motorola Droid Android 4.4.4 updates could be out soon.
