Motorola has finally revealed plans for its Moto X smartphone's Android 4.4 KitKat update. While announcing the Moto G during Wednesday's event in Sao Paulo, Dennis Woodside, Motorola's CEO also confirmed the software update for Moto X.

However, Woodside did not reveal the exact date for the Android 4.4 KitKat update's rollout, but said that the Moto X will get it 'in a matter of weeks.'

Google unveiled the Moto X, a customisable Android smartphone in August this year. The smartphone natively ran Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

The Moto X features a 4.7-inch display with a resolution of 720x1280 pixels. It is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960Pro Snapdragon processor along with 2GB of RAM. There is 16GB of inbuilt storage. It also sports a 10-megapixel rear camera accompanied by an LED flash and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The Moto X also features a shake gesture that directly opens the phone's camera app. Users can customise the body of the Moto X and choose from 18 back covers, different colour accents for the ring around the camera lens, accents around the volume and on-off buttons and get a personal message etched at the back of the phone.
