Samsung had gone on record earlier in February to Confirming That it will be rolling out Android 4.4 KitKat for a number of Galaxy phones. Though, no specific time lines were given, Samsung promised the software would be rolling out soon, and while updates for the Galaxy S4 are making good time, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Users continuously to wait for Android 4.4 to arrive in the United States.
As Such, the question most consumers who still own and use the Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Note 2 remains this – where do we go from here? When will Android 4.4 KitKat be rolling out, and what’s in it for us? Here’s a quick look at what U.S. device owners can expect Regarding Android 4.4 for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
According to most reports, Android 4.4 KitKat will be arriving for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 in March or April, and while Samsung’s promise of “soon” is tantamount to saying “rollout date to be determined,” both Those timelines Are not too far off if you come to think of it. Especially That May be true if Samsung follows the same update schedule as the Galaxy S4, where American carriers were surprisingly among the first to roll out Android 4.4 for the company’s 2013 flagship phone. Traditionally, the U.S. has bone at the back of the line, But that seems to be changing with Samsung’s more recent software update / upgrade rollouts.
Still, it can be Argued that “March” or “April”, or Especially “Coming Soon”, are not the types or release information people want to know. Consumers want the most accurate, precise information possible, and there are even some who May expect more than just a tentative release week, but the actual date. Unfortunately, chances are U.S. device owners will only know about the Android 4.4 update for the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 when they are already there. It’s very rare for American carriers to be transparent enough to announce a software upgrade in advance, as they would want to avoid last-minute hitches or testing problems thatwould only disappoint subscribers.
However, if we are to speculate, history tells us That Sprint and U.S. Cellular May Be among the first American carrier to roll out Android 4.4 for the Galaxy S3 KitKat and Note 2, while Verizon May Be among the last.
Regardless of when Android 4.4 arrives for both older Samsung devices in question, thesis updates will be rolling out in phases, meaning a long wait for many; Usually it takes up to two weeks for carriers to have new software available for everyone. Those who can not wait for Android 4.4 to arrive at KitKat official form May only have about one or two leaked versions available to choose from, as Samsung is now more vigilant in Preventing software builds from leaking out.
Still, device owners who are knowledgeable in the process of installing unofficial software and aware of the consequences can keep tabs on the XDA-Developers forums or SamMobile in the coming weeks, both sites tend to offer a lot of leaked Android builds ahead of the actual rollout date.
