Xolo has announced the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for its Q1000 Opus smartphone.
Notably, the update is not available OTA (over-the-air), but can be downloaded from Xolo's officialsite. The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for Xolo Q1000 Opus is about 294MB in size.
The domestic handset maker has also listed instructions for updating the Xolo Q1000 Opus. Users will have to download the update file from the download link to a computer and will have to rename the file to 'update.zip' from 'update_KitKat' before transferring it to the Q1000 Opus's microSD card.
Users will then have to exploit company's preloaded Xolo Care app to check for updates in the microSD card. Next, Xolo Q1000 Opus' users will have to choose 'update.zip' file and then the phone will reboot automatically, installing the update on start-up.
The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update brings a new phone dialler application and brings SMS/MMS support to Google Hangouts, amongst various other changes. Unfortunately, the company has not revealed any changelog for the new Android 4.4 KitKat update on Q1000 Opus, or any company specific features.
Xolo launched the Q1000 Opus back in December last year at Rs. 9,999. The smartphone ran Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box.
The Xolo Q1000 Opus is a dual-SIM phablet with support for GSM+GSM and features a 5-inch FWVGA IPS display with 480x854 pixels resolution. It continues the Q range tradition and sports a 1.2GHz quad-core Broadcom BCM23550 processor with Videocore IV GPU and 1GB of RAM.

Samsung has reportedly started rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to the international variant of the Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100) phablet.
The roll-out is said to have begun on Friday in France, and will gradually roll-out to other regions and carrier-specific models.
The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Samsung Galaxy Note II is said to bring several new features, like full screen album art; option to bring camera shortcut on the lock screen; transparent status bar; wireless printing functionality; NFC tap-to-pay support; option to set default messaging and launcher apps, and is also set to revamp the overall response time and speed of the phablet.
Users would be also receiving some Samsung goodies like the latest Samsung Knox and Samsung Wallet seen in the latest Samsung's TouchWiz UI. The KitKat firmware for the Galaxy Note II was firstspotted by Sammobile on Samsung's Kies PC suite software, though GSMArena says it is also available to download over-the-air (OTA).
The Samsung Galaxy Note II phablet was launched with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS in August 2012. Some of the key features of the phablet are its 5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD display, 1.6GHz quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM. The device also comes with an 8MP rear camera, a 1.9MP front camera and a huge 3,100mAh battery on-board.
