The number of Galaxy
devices which will be receiving the updates are Samsung Galaxy Note 3; Galaxy S4; Galaxy S4 Active; Galaxy S4 Mini; Galaxy S4 Zoom; Galaxy Note II; Galaxy Note 10.1
(2014 Edition); Galaxy Note 10.1; Galaxy Note 8.0; Galaxy Tab 3 8.0;
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0; Galaxy Tab 3 10.1; Galaxy Mega 6.3; Galaxy Mega 5.8; Galaxy Grand and Galaxy
Express 2.
The
news comes from Robert Nawrowski's website,
where it has been stated that Samsung Galaxy S III has been missing
from the Android 4.4 KitKat update list due to the device's RAM which is
1GB.
However, to much surprise, the Samsung Galaxy Grand also comes with
1GB of RAM and is there in queue for the update. Moreover, Android KitKat OS is said to work on
devices with just 512MB of RAM, and it supposedly more memory efficient.
Additionally,
it has been noted that the Samsung Galaxy S III US version will be
experiencing the Android 4.4 KitKat experience as it comes with 2GB of
RAM.
Last year, it was noted that Samsung Galaxy S III started facing some
issues after the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS update.
Reports
at the time said that Galaxy S III users were complaining of
unresponsive handsets, particularly the lockscreen, after updating the
smartphone. Other issues included erratic Wi-Fi connectivity, poor
battery backup, and a system hanging problem that requires the battery
to be pulled out to restart the smartphone. Hopefully, this would not
happen with Android 4.4 KitKat OS update.
