In addition, the two older smartphone models Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) and Galaxy Note 2 (SM-N7100) mentioned on this list. The firmware update is according to the information released in March or April 2014 for the two devices. Furthermore, also the online magazines Know Your Mobile reports that Samsung Android 4.4 KitKat will roll out for the older models around two to three months after the release of the latest smartphones.
Since Samsung has Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S3 withdrawn recently due to massive errors for now and the version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean even ceased completely for the same reasons, currently remains to be seen whether the port of Android 4.4 KitKat will occur without these problems.
