The Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 could receive Android 4.4 KitKat

The Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 could receive Android 4.4 KitKat.

About a week and a half ago Google finally made its new Nexus 5 official and with it also the latest version of the operating system, 4.4 Android KitKat, version that at the moment can only be enjoyed officially in the company's new flagship. Now all users of Android devices wonder when it will be possible to enjoy Android 4.4 KitKat, however, not everyone will be able to enjoy it since it will depend on whether the manufacturer decides to adapt the version or not.

Little by little, the different models of the main manufacturers of mobile devices that will receive this update have already been known. Among them is Samsung, which has a large number of devices on the market. When 4.4 Android KitKat was officially launched the South Korean company got down to work to update its main devices before singing.

Among these devices we find the principales ships insignia of the company such as the Samsung Galaxy Notes 3 and Samsung Galaxy S4, but there would also be room for previous generations like the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 could receive Android 4.4 KitKat.

From the web of androidsas They comment that the first Samsung device to receive Android 4.4 could be the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which apparently had already been tested with this version of the operating system. It is also from this same website where they echo a recent rumor that talks about the possible arrival of 4.4 Android Kitkat both to Samsung Galaxy S4 as the Samsung Galaxy s3, Although an approximate date of when this arrival could occur would not yet be known.

Both devices just got Android 4.3

When it comes to smartphones, Samsung has recently released its official update to 4.3 Android Jelly Bean for Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4. As can be seen, several months have passed until these devices have been able to officially enjoy Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, so the same will surely happen with Android 4.4 KitKat.

Upgrade to 4.4 Android KitKat would bring big changes and news to both devices. However, this is a rumor and it is not yet very clear if both devices would benefit from them. So, while it is almost certain that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will receive the update to this new version, we do not have the same assurance that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will also receive it, since it is an older model. If we stick to what was said by Google, devices with more than 18 months on the market will not receive such an update, and the Galaxy S3 is right on the barrier of 18 months, so we will have to wait to see what happens in the end.

    Now you know when they will launch said update to Android 4.4 that surely as it says will come out in a few months. But as Google launches a new update suppose Android 4.5 Again Samsung would be left behind with Android 4.4 Therefore they should not delay so much in launching said update

    Hello, I have Samsung Galaxy S4 and my Android version is 4.2.2. How can you upgrade to 4.3 and later to 4.4?

      TO UPDATE IT DEPENDS IF IT IS FROM AN OPERATOR YOU MUST WAIT FOR THEM Q TO RELEASE THE UPDATE, IF IT IS RELEASED FROM THE FACTORY. IT DEPENDS ON THE COUNTRY WHERE THE CELLULAR IS CONFIGURED. IF YOU CONNECT IT TO KIES AT THE END OF THE SOFT YOU WILL SEE A FEW LETTERS Q THEN IN SAMMOBILE YOU CAN SEE WHAT COUNTRY IT BELONGS TO AND SEE MORE OR LESS WHEN THEY RELEASE IT

      Through Samsung Kies you can update your S4 ... you open kies on the mobile, you activate usb debugging and then you connect the mobile to the pc via USB and the drivers will be installed and the kies detects the mobile and if it has any update available for the S4 it tells you in a You give a message to update, you follow the steps and now, it is updated very quickly, it depends on the pc.

      Link to download Kies, do not download the Kies 3 if not the Kies:http://www.samsung.com/ar/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
