Despite being the biggest and most successful, Samsung isn’ta always the most vocal player in the game When it comes to Discussing upgrades to new versions of Android. The company has yet to formally detail a list of devices thatwill be receiving Android 4.4 KitKat.
While anyone might have guessed That the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 might not have been in line, a source close to the matter has confirmed to Phandroid That the Following list of devices will be receiving the illustrious upgrade (devices in bold havealready started to receive official rollouts):
As you can see, the Note 3′s rollout started late last month over in Poland, and Should be heading to other regions as Samsung works out logistics and testing. As for the Samsung Galaxy S4, it was only this morning That Samsung Began pushing out KitKat for users of the LTE-A variant over in South Korea.
Early reports of the firmware from both the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 suggest Samsung did not change much in KitKat, though that’s Because most of Their significant upgrades came with the upgrade to Android 4.3 (Which Mainly enabled new camera features and Galaxy Gear compatibility). Users are treated to improved performance, though, as well as slight changes to Samsung’s UI Which Amount to little more than a couple of new icons.
Unfortunately, that’s about the length of our knowledge thus far. There’s no telling When, exactly, Samsung will look to push the upgrades out, nor do we know if they’re even close to being ready for public consumption.
More than anything, though, we’re just happy to knowthat devices dating back to 2012 are getting some love (especially considering a lot of other OEMs havealready abandoned phones That only released just last year). We’ll be looking to you up any information we can on the impending updates in the weeks (or months) to come.
