14 DAY TRIAL // Good news for Verizon customers who own the DROID MAXX, DROID Ultra and DROID Mini, as the carrier has just started the rollout of a major update that will improve these smartphones' camera.
Additionally, several important changes related to other features of the smartphones have been included as well. Phandroid reports that the following improvements and new features will be added via this update:

The update software version 12.15.15.en.US is now pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, so it might not be available for all DROID owners.
In order to manually check for availability, head over to Settings / About phone / Software update / Update. If it doesn't show up on the screen, you might want to check back later.
Keep in mind that all three Motorola smartphones receiving this major update have been confirmed for Android 4.4 KitKat upgrade.
