Samsung Galaxy S3 and S3 Mini will not be receiving KitKat update

Android KitKat

Bad news for those who’re holding on to the Galaxy S3 I9300 and Galaxy S3 Mini as Samsung has confirmed that this 2 devices will not be receiving the KitKat update. The reason why is because both devices doesn’t meet the technical expectations required for this update.

“In order to facilitate an effective upgrade on the Google platform, various hardware performances such as the memory (RAM, ROM, etc.), multi-tasking capabilities, and display must meet certain technical expectations. The Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions come equipped with 1GB RAM, which does not allow them to effectively support the platform upgrade. As a result of the Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions’ hardware limitation, they cannot effectively support the platform upgrade while continuing to provide the best consumer experience. Samsung has decided not to roll-out the KitKat upgrade to Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions, and the KitKat upgrade will be available to the Galaxy S3 LTE version as the device’s 2GB RAM is enough to support the platform upgrade.”

Maybe its a sign for you to upgrade your device?
