Google has started rolling out the Android 4.4.4 update for the Google Play edition HTC One M8, M7 and the Moto G. The company had initially rolled out the update to the Nexus 5 and other Nexus devices a couple of weeks ago, mainly to fix a serious bug related to an OpenSSL vulnerability.
Android as an OS is as complex as Microsoft’s Windows or even Apple’s Mac OS X. While Android usually works without a hitch, every once in a while you will need to reboot it, clean up all the junk files and remove unnecessary files to make sure it is running at its optimum level, just like you do on Windows or Mac.

All the high-end Android smartphones released in the last six months or so have the ability to record videos in 4K resolution. Considering that 4K content and display are still a rarity, having this feature on your $800 smartphone is a biggie.
As it turns out though, there is a slight catch. None of them can record 4K videos at a stretch for more than 5 mins. This includes the Xperia Z2 and the Galaxy S5 as well as last year’s Galaxy Note 3.
