Lenovo had announced it would start the roll-out of Android 4.4 KitKat for the Vibe Z smartphone in a phased manner starting from the last week of May. It seems the Lenovo Vibe Z is now finally getting the Android KitKat update in Malaysia.

Soyacincau reports that some Vibe Z users in Malaysia are receiving Android 4.4.2 KitKat update and also notes that the update is about 1.2GB in size. The report claims that the Android 4.4.2 KitKat for Vibe Z is now available OTA (over-the-air).
