Rumor: Galaxy S III and Note II to receive Android 4.4.2 KitKat by March end

Firmware

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The Galaxy Note 3 has started receiving the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update while we've seen a couple of leaked firmware for the Galaxy S4, and that has naturally made owners of the company's 2012 flagships wonder when it will be their turn to hop on to the latest version of the OS. A rumor late last year suggested that the Galaxy S III and Note II would be updated to Android 4.4.2 before April this year, and now, according to insider info received by Android Geeks, both device should begin receiving the update by the end of March.

Now, many will probably just shake their heads at that, but unlike the Android 4.3 update, which took months to arrive on the S III and Note II, the KitKat update does have a high chance of making its way to users by March. Both variants of the Galaxy Note 3 were updated to KitKat in record time (if only because KitKat isn't exactly a major update), and while the update's only just out in a couple of countries at the moment, Samsung should be able to kick off the rollout for the S III and Note II rather quickly as well. At least, that's what we hope, but we'll just have to wait and see what happens.
