Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4 KitKat Update: What You Need to Know

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.4 KitKat update is on its way but there are still a number of Samsung devices without the Android 4.4 KitKat, the Galaxy Note 2 being of them. Here is what Galaxy Note 2 owners need to know about their missing Android 4.4 KitKat update.

In November, Google announced the Android 4.4 KitKat with some useful features to the table but it is only early this week that the Android 4.4 KitKat started rolling out to Samsung Galaxy devices. The most current variant of the Galaxy Note has received the Android 4.4 KitKat update but it is still confined to a region and it is the only official Android 4.4 KitKat update from Samsung so far.

Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update Still Rolling Out

First and foremost, the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note 2 is still rolling out, which means that the Android 4.4 KitKat is still far out in the distance. In fact, the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 update started rolling out three months ago in November and it is still on going up to now.

March or April Release Date Window

Rumours suggest that the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4 KitKat update points out to two possible release dates. One says that it will happen in April alongside the Galaxy S3 Android 4.4 KitKat update and another says that the Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 will have their Android 4.4 KitKat updates in March, after the Galaxy S4 KitKat update.

According to Android Geeks, the information came from a Samsung engineer and that the rumour is solid. In the past, this Web site accurately predicted the Galaxy Note 3 launch date, so the Android 4.4 KitKat update release date is a rumour worth buying into.

Official Announcement from Samsung is not Expected

Samsung is not likely to release official announcements about the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4 KitKat update as the Galaxy Note 3 update rolled out without a warning. At the time of the roll out, Samsung did not even offer a change log for the Galaxy Note 3 users, which forced them to just rely on the leaked information in the Web. As for Galaxy Note 2 users, we must expect the same treatment with a mysterious release date and an absent change log.
