Note the three elected anyway

success that Samsung has the Note Series is also not escaped others. Meanwhile, almost all famous brands brought their own so-called ‘phablet’ out. One is there more successful than others, but it does mean that the discs it gets more difficult in today’s market. There is the Sony Xperia S Ultra, the LG Optimus G Pro and HTC One Max compete for the favor of consumers. Even Nokia has recently released the tack and Windows Phone 8 running on Lumia 1520. Note was always relatively expensive enough already cheaper alternatives are also available, such as the Acer Liquid S1, the ZTE Grand Memo and the Huawei Ascend Mate. We will look at this review or he may take to it and hence it is worth its hefty price tag.

Note 3 comes in a cardboard box with a wood motif. The box looks too small for the discs, but he fits in really. In addition to the device we find a charging / data cable, a loose charging plug and one in-ear headphones with three different design pieces in total. Also, a quick start guide and a manual for use of the S Pen in the box. Especially the cable is a striking appearance. It seems to be a USB 3.0 cable that the part fits the phone is wider than the standard microUSB. Yet you do not throw your old cables away even that work in most cases simply. What advantage then this cable is just eludes us.

Android 4.4 Update KitKat Set? OS Release Date For Samsung Galaxy S4 ... - International Business Times

Samsung has yet to formally announce any of its Android 4.4 update KitKat plans for its flagship Galaxy devices, but recent reports indicate That popular handsets like the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 may start to update by late- January.

According to mobile network SFR France, the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 are on track for Android 4.4 updates. SFR has notably tipped Android updates for a number of Galaxy devices, the network reported previously That it would start updating Such devices as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in November and December. Since then most Samsung Galaxy models have in fact updated to Android 4.3. The carrier’s most recent announcement May signaled when Android 4.4 updates will start for international Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 models. U.S. device models, All which are subject to carrier approval Often before updates roll out, May receive Android 4.4 a bit later than international models, several at by days, weeks, or even months. Regardless, this could be an indication That Android 4.4 updates are on the way for Galaxy devices across all markets.

Previous Android 4.4 Update Clues and Rollout Progress

Other reports have suggested usefull That We May see Samsung’s latest update to Android 4.4 flagships in the early months of 2014. Tech website iTechAddict leaked an Android 4.4 update timeline for Samsung’s high-end devices, All which said the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 would update in January, while the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 will Reportedly update in March and April. With Samsung staying quiet about its plans Android 4.4, it is hard to determining the validity of any Android 4.4 update reports for Galaxy devices. But many other manufacturers,-including HTC and Sony, have confirmed thatthey will start to update Their flagship devices and many others to Android 4.4 in January. Perhaps Samsung will start — usefull as reports suggest – to update its devices early in 2014 in order to keep up with the competition

.

Notably, began updating its close rival HTC HTC One U.S. models to Android 4.3 in early October, while Samsung began updating its flagships in late October. Many Samsung Galaxy models are still receiving Android 4.3 updates, while most models have long HTC One updated to Android 4.3 unlocked and various models are actually now updating to Android 4.4, the HTC One zoals Google Play Edition and the HTC One Developers Edition. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition has usefull updated to Android 4.4, All which tells us That Samsung has the system code on hand. The company May still be Adapting the system for its specific devices, adding its own software to Android systems, zoals the TouchWiz UI and Premium Suite features. This could account for why we have not heard any news from Samsung directly. The manufacturer Tends to not make any announcements until it is close to releasing updates – until there is something definitive for the company to announce

.

Android 4.4 Update for Samsung Galaxy Devices KitKat Still Uncertain?

With Android 4.4 KitKat, Google Aims to decrease system fragmentation by increase increasing compatibility with a wide range of devices. The “Project Svelte” optimization in Android 4.4 makes the operating system compatible with mid-range and low-end devices with as little as 512MB of RAM. Since more devices with lower-end specs are now expected to update to Android 4.4, most high-end devices are believed to be shoo-ins for an update. However, it is still Ultimately up to OEMs to decide their fiduciary All which devices will get the update. Many Samsung devices have gone up to one year on the market before receiving Their first system updates, as we saw with the Galaxy Note 2 All which skipped some Android versions. The Note 2 released with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in September 2012 and began updating to Android 4.3 in November 2013, completely missing out on Android 4.2.2, All which was released in late 2012. The Galaxy S3 usefull skipped to Android 4.3; having leg released with Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, it updated to Android 4.1.2 in late 2012, and did not update again until late 2013. If Samsung followed a similar pattern for the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3, it is likely neither device would see an update until well into 2014. By That Time, Google could be on a system version very different from the versions we are seeing now.

Just updating to Android devices hört Kit Kat are not updating to the very first iteration of the operating system, as Android 4.4.1 Android 4.4.2 and have since released. A number of devices eligible for the earliest updates-including some Nexus devices, Google Editions Play and Motorola devices, skipped the short-lived Android 4.4.1 and updated to 4.4.2 directly. Considering That the rapid release of Android 4.4.1 and Android 4.4.2 was such a surprise, consumers can never be certain of what turn companies will take withtheir products. SFR announcing its Samsung Galaxy update schedule does not meansthat the devices will actually update at those times. Keep in Mind That the network usefull Announced That the LG G2 would update to Android 4.4 in November or December, but has since changed its plans, Stating That the device will update in early 2014, now giving no definitive timeline for the rollout.

It is likely That Once Samsung has finished updating its current batch of devices to Android 4.3, it will focus its attention on introducing new hardware with the latest Android software before providing system support for any devices already on the market. The same way we saw the Galaxy S4 release with Android 4.2.2 and the Galaxy Note 3 update with Android 4.3 before any older devices updated to either operating system, future Samsung devices zoals the Galaxy S5 May get a taste of KitKat well before the Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note 3.

Do you think the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 will update to Android 4.4 KitKat in January? Let us know in the comments below.
