Confirmed by ZTE today that the Boost MAX will get the Kit Kat Update this year! No official date just yet, but we will have more news probably before the end of this quarter. Currently running 4.1.2, going to 4.4 will be a massive jump, especially for users who bought this phone with the intention of using Google Now and all of it's newer features.

Personally I'm really glad to hear this. I have to deal with Sprint and Sprint Prepaid stores, and this is just an awesome kind of thing to see. ZTE is finally making the right steps with one of their phones. Hopefully this will only carry some weight with it, and bring 4.3 or 4.4 to the Warp 4G as well. Currently in some areas the Boost MAX can be bought in stores for $275, along with a $35 a month for 6 months promotion with a new activation. While the Warp 4G can be bought for $125 for a current promotion and is also included in the LTE promotion of $35 a month for 6 months.
