In the last few days we began to receive a large number of rumors that the arrival of Android 4.4 KitKat for the Samsung Galaxy S3 was imminent. This time we already have the official confirmation from the South Korean company Samsung. This confirmation has let us know that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update at the end of this month of March. This confirmation is excellent news for the owners of this terminal, which at the moment has only received the update of the operating system corresponding to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
The news has been confirmed from the official account of Facebook of the division of Samsung Arabia. A user posted a message on the wall of this Samsung account asking about the Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Samsung Galaxy S3, and the person in charge of the South Korean account confirmed the arrival of the update, adding that we will only have to wait until end of March to receive the update. The big question lies in whether this date includes Europe or if, instead, the owners of a Galaxy S3European will have to wait longer to receive the same update. What is evident is that the first to receive the update will be the owners of this smartphone in its free version, while users who have purchased their terminal under an operator will have to wait a few weeks to be able to update to the latest version of Android.
Since the news has been confirmed only in this way, at the moment we do not have any official additional information that may allow us to get an idea of the news that this update will bring. Even so, it is quite obvious to think that the first difference will be in the visual aspect of the terminal. It is expected that the upper notification bar includes a more modern design (clearer and more attractive icons, for example), and also both the lock screen and the main screen should include a renewed look with small changes compared to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. In the aspect of the internal operation of the terminal we will probably find a lower battery consumption and a greater fluidity in the execution of the applications.
And is that despite the fact that South Koreans have already launched more modern versions of the Samsung Galaxy S3 (see the Samsung Galaxy S4 or even the recently presented Samsung Galaxy S5), this smartphone is still a modern terminal that should not have any Difficulty moving smoothly with the Android 4.4 KitKat update. While it is true that the update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean brought with it a good handful of problems to the owners of this smartphone, we hope that this time Samsung has learned its lesson and does not release an update that could cause problems for users. update their terminal.
