"Android 4.4 in late January on Galaxy S4 and Note 3" - Techzine

The French operator SFR Samsung will begin between late January and early February with the rollout of the Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3.

The French operator SFR has often fairly accurately stated in the past when updates are rolled out to devices. The telecom company is able to report that the update to Android 4.4 KitKat (review) from the end of January or beginning of February will be available for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (review) and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (review) now. This corresponds to a roadmap leaked earlier Samsung India.

Although it is still only an estimated date, this means that Samsung have in all probability going to wait to roll out Android 4.4 KitKat than the company less time did with the rollout of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. At the launch of Android 4.3 users had to wait a long time and there were also many problems with the update. However, there is still the possibility that the date will shift further back.

The indication is indicated by the provider is believed to be the date on which the software will be available in France. From this we may conclude that the users of the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 in Korea probably already by that time the new software. It is expected the Benelux will simultaneously or shortly after the rollout of the software in France at the turn.

Previously there were rumors that not only the high-end Samsung phones update to Android 4.4 would KitKat receive, but also the cheaper devices.
