this is actually nice.... most people on 3rd world nation that buys really low end phones, or have really old smartphones usually either still stuck on android 2.3, or on 4.0 but laggy

to have kitkat available to ANY smartphone is a nice upgrade.
now the question. most people who have those lower end phone barely cares what OS they are running on, as long as it copes up to their needs. this provides the problem: low end phone that will use kitkat are going to be those which already come out with kitkat installed....

It's sluggish enough on a 512MB phone though does feel mark ably better than Ice Cream Sandwich. I think 768MB is probably the sweet spot for KitKat 512MB is even a bit low.

And Apple's solution for emerging markets is a $450 iPhone 4s.

I have a smartphone Android 4.2 with 512mb of Ram and 1GHZ processor and it's very slow, it would be good if Google could make these phone faster
