2. Requires Android 4.4 KitKat to run new TouchWiz UI as privilege.

3. Hardware compatible which all of them features such as quad-core CPU and 1 GB of RAM at least.

4. Selling history could also become a considerable factor for Samsung to provide new UI.

5. Flagship status is a strong factor to get new TouchWiz.

6. Update window period makes them eligible for any software upgrades.

7. Android 4.3 updates ported Galaxy S4 and Note 3 UI on Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
