It is said wide range of devices will be getting it... Sooo what do you think? Maybe after all those news about our device ending on 4.2. and lately new unconfirmed info about getting 4.3, we'll see 4.4 on our s3 mini...
I'm interested how much KitKat had to pay Google for this name of Android

Or other way around... They say they dropped Key Lime Pie name cause not many people know its taste... But KitKat is worldwide famous chocolate and there you go
Trademark issues? Not to worry, as Google got Nestle's blessing to use the "Kit Kat" trademark (albeit without the space), but with a twist. John Lagerling, director of Android global partnerships, explained to the BBC that "this is not a money-changing-hands kind of deal," but instead, they wanted do something "fun and unexpected."

We not yet get official 4.2 update and you guys expect 4.4 running on our device? Keep dreaming...
noe4516: even S3 will not receive 4.2 but directly 4.3, maybe directly 4.4 if there is no problem with drivers.
I still have faith.

to kickback people's expectation and rumors that the next Android version was Key Lime Pie?
you know, the name "KitKat" is a very big thing, because in the past, we called it "Key Lime Pie". a major kickback
I think 4.1.2 is as far as we can get with this device. Sorry...

This phone is currently running 4.2.2
I keep reading that people claim the Samsung S3 mini does not run 4.2 officially. But I just got one yesterday from AT&T.
Model number: Sumsung-SM-G730A
Android version:
4.2.2
Baseband version:
G730AUCUAMH4
Kernel Version:
3.4.0-1299773

Yes, I am confused about the difference between the GT-I8190 and the SM-G730A. Does anybody know what the difference is, I don't understand the model number difference, the hardware all seems to be the same. My phone is the blue one, not the white, does the color have anything to do with it (that wouldn't make sense to me).
If you look at my post (post #16) you'll see in the build version it says the kernel was released Aug 21st.
Difference is in CPU.
While I8190 has ST-Ericsson CPU, SM-G730A has Qualcomm’s Snapdragon. And bigger battery.
And this is why we probably dont get 4.2 or 4.3, because ST-E does not longer exist. So no new drivers for our CPU. Maybe, just maybe Samsung will make those drivers themselves, but that depends if ST-E gave them everything before they closed.

So, did I get lucky by buying the SM-G730A, what you are telling me is that my processor and battery life (as well as support) are better than the I8190? I was confused when I kept seeing everybody calling their S3 mini the I8190 because that's pretty different to my model number, I would have guessed they would have made the model numbers much closer to easily recognize the similarity.

If I were them I'd skip it. It's more an incremental than point release and the only substantial feature that it has that 4.1 doesn't is multi-user. Going to 4.3 or 5.0 assuming there's a material difference in features, infrastructure, or functionality makes more sense. Google seems to be updating all their revenue generating apps without tying them to a specific OS version (EG: Google Now) so all their apps should stay current and Samsung can update their’s via Play or Samsung Apps. When you think about it 2>3>4 were huge leaps because Android was so immature. 4.1>4.2>X.X and beyond are likely to be far less earth shattering. Based on user reports, 4.2 had lots of issues with little gain. I'd rather have something stable that works well than something "new" just because it's new.
Yes I hope they skip. Not a fa. Of the newly centered nav keys

Yeah, thats one of the reasons I like the Note 10.1 over the Nexus 10.
4.2 also has a very screwed up Bluetooth stack.. everyone's screaming about it. (Actually, it got screwed up in 4.1.2... uh oh...)

Samsung users their own which is why we have AVRCP 1.3 and AOSP ROMs don't. So we're safe. Kind of sad that OEM's are pushing out more stable s/w than Google. Part of everyone's lust for Nexi is their "pure Google" experience and all the (theoretic) benefits that's supposed to bring.

All devices have 4.1 now. You do not need one for your country, take any 4.1 for your device and simply choose your language at setup, change the standard keyboard language in the settings and all is like in your own country version.

I think that when Nexus devices come out, they get the latest Android version (4.2 here) and they have an exclusive on it for some time. Yes multiuser is nice, but I do not need it.
What do you think? I dont think its coming bcuz of the specs, but who knows? Every thing points to 5.0 needing 4 cores. Anyways we have cyanogen.

How did you get past the 1st Grade with that grammar son? The galaxy tab 2 is the newest one of its series, Samsung would be dumb as**'s to NOT releasing it. Whats "everything points to 5.0 needing 4 cores." I think your saying that to operate/run key-lime pie you would need a quad core? No, there are a handful of tablets/phones that are below 4 cores that are getting a slice of key-lime pie man. www.dailygrammar.com/ <== Use it. It will help you.

Samsung wont update beyond 4.2.2 because they would rather you purchase their new Tab range that will carry 5.0....its pretty clear and obvious...Samsung isnt a charity at the end of the day...
Yes, this is true that the original Tab range will be getting the updates as well but thats partly due to the fact that they carry some pretty decent hardware specs such as Tegra 2 and Exynos...both of which are more pronounced in the performance department when compared to Tab 2 range of TI offerings...

That makes no sense the galaxy exhibit came out in may 2013 with 4.1.2 i based my source of oliverg96 for s3 mini changed a few blobs and then 4.2.2 booted I just don't get why our device isnt getting 4.4 . How come the ace II gets it . The galaxy exhibit t599v is a canada version of exhibit called ace IIe so its weird they would leave these phone off the list we have 3 variants of the exhibit.I dont believe anything that is not from sammobile. This is my phone

It says that it may Samsung galaxy s 3 mini MAY get the update, it's not sure. I read somewhere that s3 mini will get an update that will contain s4 features. This was about 6 months ago. I can't understand why iPhone got ios 7 immediately and we will have to wait years!

When will Sprint officially release the update for both phones?
Thanks in advance.
First Android Lollipop needs to be released. Then Samsung needs to work on firmware for its line up. Note 4 first then s5, note 3, then s4. THEN... they need to send it to sprint so sprint can add it's enhancements (bloat)... AND THEN sprint starts the roll out which hits most devices two weeks after they announce it. Sprint is working on the 4.4.4 update now so we are looking at months.. maybe Feb or March.
I'm hoping since Google did the whole new preview thing that Samsung actually worked on it and push rapid updates to all their main devices to 1up other manufacturers but of course that won't happen.
