Micromax offered Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) update for the A116 Canvas HD back in June. But both the Canvas 4 and the Canvas Turbo were launched on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) with no sign of future upgrades even though these have built-on OTA update support. MMXNewscaster, popular for smartphone leaks has tweeted that Micromax plans to release Android 4.4 (KitKat) update for 11 Canvas devices and 3 Canvas smartphones would be upgraded to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean). If this turns out to be true, its an awesome news for the Canvas users, since they would get the Android 4.4 directly, skipping the Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) update.

The exact time frame of the roll out is not available yet. Since this is just a rumor at the moment, we can’t confirm if Micromax would release the KitKat update for all these devices, until we get an official word. Even though Android KitKat supports devices with 512MB of RAM, we have not seen a single entry-level smartphone running on Android 4.4 out of the box. Wickedleak announced Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Wammy Passion Z+ last week. Everyone want too see other OEMs to offer KitKat update for their devices.
