Samsung has officially completed with Phase 1 of its Android 4.4.4 Kitkat OS update. Google, however, has already rolled out its latest operating system, the Android 5.0 Lollipop. Samsung is still a bit behind, rolling out the last version of Android KitKat OS for its other products.
According to the leaked document, the update for Galaxy S5 (G900I, G900F versions), Note 3 N900, and Note 3 LTE GN005 are scheduled for October and have already been completed. Some carriers already rolled out their version of the OS update. The Galaxy S4 I9500, S4 LTE I9505 and Note 3 Neo updates are in the final testing stage and the roll out are set next month. Lastly, S4 Mini Duos I9192, S4 Mini I9190, Grand 2 Duos G7102, Grand 2 G7105, Note 2 N7100 and Note 2 LTE N7105 are reportedly in pending status and will most probably get the update before the end of November. At the moment, there is no word on the Android OS update for other Samsung smartphones
Samsung’s Android 4.4.4 KitKat OS update will bring bug fixes, security enhancements, as well as device-specific improvements to the devices. The update will require 285 MB of free space.
When installing the software, users must ensure that their smartphones have enough battery and has a strong internet connection. Moreover, it is a great precaution to back up files before heading on with the update.
