According to the information provided at the Nexus Factory Image page, and a post by Anroid Engineering Program Manager, Sascha Pruter, at Google+ this latest OS version of Android basically contains some security updates. Sascha suggested that the update mainly fixes the CVE-2014-0224 issue, a flaw which was noticed in the OpenSSL post discovery of Heartbleed bug.

Sascha told that more information on the update will be provided soon. However, for now it is unclear which other android devices will be provided with the new OS.

When Google launched the Android 4.4.3 OS version this month then the users got to use an improved dialer, better interface, and many small features which made the usage user-friendly. The update also fixed many bugs and security loopholes. A major improvement was seen in the battery drain issue which was in connexion with the camera usage.

Our sources have tried to contact Google for more information. As soon as we will get a response we will update the story.
