geeteam Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) It’s a tricky one as always with Android. Google claimed it has made huge optimizations to the platform and its core apps so even devices with 512MB of RAM (the overwhelming majority of Androids across the world are actually low-end devices with 512MB of RAM) can have a good, smooth Android experience. The new Android 4.4 KitKat however still seems to be coming first and only to the top-shelf devices.Here is a list of phones we know will get the update.We have added a timeframe for that update.The information comes straight from the manufacturer, so it is official.

AlexCross Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I have a custom cheap phone made by Vodafone, it's called Vodafone smart 3. I don't know if it's selled word wide. I don't spend money on phones, they are too expensive. I just sign a new contract with Vodafone every year, and they give me a new phone for 1$. This year it was this phone, let's see what they give me next year :DLE. http://www.gsmarena.com/vodafone_smart_iii_975-5464.php Edited January 13, 2014 by AlexCross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Android 4.4 KitKat starts to hit Galaxy Note 3 By Lance Whitney January 13, 2014 4:54 AM PSTThe 4.4.2 update has already reached owners of the international version of the Note 3 in Poland, says Sammobile. When could it land in other countries?Owners of the international version of Samsung's Galaxy Note 3 should expect Android 4.4.2 KitKat to flavor their phablets before too long. The latest version of Android for the Note 3 has already begun showing up in Poland, according to blog site Sammobile, where users must download and install it via Samsung's Kies software. An over-the-air variant is expected to appear as well. No specific dates were revealed to indicate when additional regions might see the update. But other Note 3 owners around the globe will likely receive it sometime over the next couple of weeks. However, US users are out of the running for this particular update. The firmware version for the new update is N9005XXUENA6, which points to the international edition of the Note 3.http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57617113-94/android-4.4-kitkat-starts-to-hit-galaxy-note-3Exclusive: N9005XXUENA6 – Leaked Android 4.4.2 KitKat Test Firmware for Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005)http://www.sammobile.com/2014/01/12/exclusive-n9005xxuena6-leaked-android-4-4-2-kitkat-test-firmware-for-galaxy-note-3-sm-n9005/F/W Free DL Direct Link: Size: 1.3GBhttp://terafile.co/8ad62b6a39c6/N9005XXUENA6_N9005OXXENA5_N9005XXUENA2_OXX.zip Edited January 14, 2014 by Turk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
