In a rather strange move, Samsung has pushed out the Android 4.4.4 update to the Galaxy S3 Neo before any other device in its lineup, before even the flagships like the Galaxy S5. The update is currently rolling out to the device in Kazakhstan with build number I9300IXXUBNH3; it should be available as an over-the-air download as well as through Kies, though advanced users can also grab the firmware from our firmware section to update manually. As for the changelog, we’re guessing there is nothing major to speak of, and the update should mostly include bug and security fixes that are a part and parcel of Android 4.4.4.
As always, keep in mind that the update will gradually roll out to more regions in the coming weeks. We’ll be sure to let you know when Samsung rolls out the update to other devices, and we will continue hoping that Samsung completes the Android 4.4.4 rollout for eligible devices well in time before Android L comes knocking.
