Officially Google still provides security patches for Android 4.4 but there is not much information on what this means in practice. How many OEMs actually make use of this and provide security patches for 4.4 devices?
(source: https://source.android.com/security/overview/updates-resources.html https://source.android.com/security/overview/updates-resourc... - "Android security team currently provides patches for Android versions 4.4 (KitKat), 5.0 (Lollipop), and 5.1 (Lollipop MR1). This list of backport-supported versions changes with each new Android release.")
Google themselves dropped the Nexus 7 v1 from security support a while ago, after having updated it to 5.1.
