With Android 4.4 KitKat,
Google is aiming to bring a better Android experience to the masses
through features such as reduced memory consumption on low-memory
(512MB) and low-cost devices, and that has had a lot of people hoping
manufacturers will bring the new version of Android to some of their
mid-range devices that may not otherwise be eligible for another update.
Well, according to an image , Samsung is
thinking of an Android 4.4 KitKat update for Galaxy S4 mini,
Galaxy S3 mini, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy Ace 3, Galaxy Core, Galaxy
Fame, Galaxy Ace 2, and the Galaxy Fresh – there are many more other Mid-Range devices
on the list.
However, just because Samsung is considering the update doesn’t mean the
updates will actually come – the Galaxy S4 mini is is the device that is most likely to get the update, the other devices on that list. Google has done on reducing the memory consumption on Android
4.4 KitKat.
But then again, we can always hope Samsung will be able to work some
magic and update at least some of the devices on the list to Android 4.4
and bring some gestures and new features to
consumers.
Note: that devices that have been in the market for more than
18 months, and devices like the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2 which have
already received two major updates, won’t be getting Android 4.4, because of the 18-month support policy manufacturers follow.
