Literally seen it, you’re right on. With Android, however, it took a long time before the 2. * Versions saw their share decline significantly. It seems that 4. * Now definitively broken.

Windows and Windows Phone is too often over come the last days. Well then it should be yet again cited as Android ….

Kitakt 4.4.x is the best Android version to date increasing because it is also suitable for older hardware.
I can finally use my S2 for a whole day without my battery pack.
All that is fast and there is a new app in it’s beautiful included.
pity that Samsung itself no longer roll out this update for older devices

Is there a big difference between 4.3 and 4.4? And falls under the S3 ‘older devices’?

After Google released a new version of Android release it still has to be fitted by the manufacturer for a device. Because this costs money and does not pay (handset is indeed already sold) many manufacturers do not do this, if it happens often months go by before it is available for each device. Many manufacturers also supply their own brackish skin / launcher with Android and which should therefore be integrated and aligned with the new OS.

Even the Google Nexus devices releases have only 1.5 years of support, then you have yourself as a user bad luck.

more than 1/5th of an ox three years . And zelfst Froyo from the beginning of 2010 is still in the list Android

Here is a nice chart [/url] that shows how bad update is support for Android. Note that this graph is biased because only high-end Android devices in it, in reality, the situation is even worse.

Much, much worse, because many manufacturers only offer decent support for their flagship phones. Major updates for low end or middle end phones so you can forget about, unless you go yourself with custom ROMs to work.
This latter opinion is also an extra security issue, because you been running behind because of the fact that you do not get updates, you should also consider rooting your phone, and so in fact make it even more dangerous, to a 3rd party OS convert. This, while Android already so “safe”. That does Apple (and Microsoft’s Windows Phone) still better / cleaner. And a lot safer.

latest Android runs pretty good, but it remains to wait for a secure mobile OS.

The S3 will in March / April update to Kitkat.
As far as I have the S3 no problems with the battery life or speed, so the difference will not be as big as my S2.
