So it is looking as though owners of the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be joining hands with owners of the Galaxy S3 Mini, Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy Mega as they are all going to be updated to KitKat.
It isn’t just smartphones that will get the update. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 along with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 is also getting updated.
Samsung will offer the KitKat depending on device; they are not going to offer it to everyone at the same time. So it makes sense that newer devices will be updated first and then the older ones. So owners of the Samsung Galaxy S3 may have to wait some time, but they will get the update.
