Google may not be bringing Android 4.4 KitKat to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, but it’s still supporting newer Nexus devices. So you’re probably wondering when the update will be coming to your Nexus 4, Nexus 7, or Nexus 10. Well, Google hasn’t given us a specific release date yet, but it has said “soon.”

The Google Play editions of the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One are on its list, too.

With the Samsung Galaxy Nexus celebrating its second birthday this month, we had a feeling it wouldn’t be long before Google finally stopped supporting it with the latest Android updates.

Yesterday, Google unveiled its latest flagship smartphone, the Nexus 5, and as expected the handset will ship running 4.4 KitKat, Android’s brand new version of software when it leaves the warehouse.

The wait is finally over — the new Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 KitKat is now available to order through Google Play. The device is a lot like LG’s flagship G2 on the inside, featuring a 4.95-inch 1080p display, LTE connectivity, and a speedy Snapdragon 800 processor. It’s a heck of a lot cheaper, though, with prices starting at $349.
