Android 4.4 is a boon to cheap phone manufacturers because of low memory mode while retaining all the modern features. A $99 phone that isn't shit that runs Android 4.4 and has BLE would enable so much stuff that the rest of us take for granted.
But the prices have gone down so much that you can get a low-cost smartphone with Kit Kat. The Moto E is $129, has decent specs (even Gorilla Glass) and runs Kit Kat. It's only a matter of time before such phones dive below $99.
