Samsung has detailed rollout plans for the Android 4.4.2 update, and more than a dozen devices have made the cut. As usual, there’s good news and bad news for Samsung device owners Depending On All which Galaxy phone or tablet you’re waiting to see updated.

Which Samsung phones and tablets are getting KitKat? The Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S 4 and its variants (mini, Active, and zoom), the Galaxy S3 and S3 mini, the oversized Galaxy Mega, Galaxy Light, Galaxy Note 8.0, Galaxy Tab 3, and both the Original Galaxy Note 10.1 and its 2014 update.

It’s good to see the Galaxy Note 10.1 is getting KitKat, Because Samsung did not exactly do a great job pushing updates out to the first big-screen Note. Delays with the delivery or Android 4.1.2 Samsung had some faithful seeing red back in 2012.

Unfortunately, eventhough We devoted a lot of time and effort to making surethat KitKat ran well on lower-end Android devices there are not any Galaxy S2 variants on Samsung’s list. That’s a bit disappointing, since some – like the Galaxy S2 4G – did not launch until later on in 2012. The Galaxy S2 Plus Is not included either, and it was not until Announced CES 2013.

Thanks to Project Svelte, KitKat has a reduced footprint That should have no problem fitting on a phone like the S2 Plus. The factthat Samsung’s chosen to leave it off the list May have more to do with the popularity of the phone itself. Still, it’s always disappointing to hear that a one-year-old device has already fallen off a manufacturer’s update list.

Samsung Galaxy devices thatwill be getting the Android 4.4.2 should start seeing it any time now. The company did not specify exactly when Particular devices willreceive the update, and as always carriers will havetheir say in scheduling delivery, too.
