The Lenovo Vibe Z, on the other hand, will get improved 4k video playback compatibility, as per the company. In addition, the update will also boost the UI transitions, such as adding widgets to the home screen easy.

With the Android 4.4 KitKat update, the Vibe Z will also offer better management of the multi-window mode on the handset.
