Yep people
Google have named that kitkat.
It's being considered as a major android update
Its android version 4.4
So wait for it
And keep figures crossed
Hoping tab 2 will get it:beer::thumbup:

Oh already? Im pretty sure we don't get it officially but with custom roms probably.
Maybe cm supports our device officially,but its pretty clear that we don't get any touchwiz update (we don't even know about getting an official sammy 4.3 update)

What if , when sammy changes their mind ?
That posts are posted in sammobile before 4.3 were released, and also 4.3 is a minor update so there is a chance in building 4.3 for dual core devices....:what:
When klp rumors flied up,the most exiting feature heard was it would even support devices with 512MB . ie; klp would support low end devices ( And look there's no quad core device with 512 mb ram) .And this is just opposite of what sammy said (klp needs minimum quad core devices)...... just hope the rumor formed with klp will applicable for kit-kat ..
Edit: now also sammy is supporting their first gen tab series . So just hope they will extend our support period

Google say the same for ICS, and we all know, that ICS laggs even with dualcore and 1 GB RAM So no argument. Second, you forget, that Samsung build this ****ty Touchwiz, so Quadcore will be a must to run Kitkat with TW
I dont believe that we will get 4.3/4.4. Samsung will forced us to buy new tabs.

Ok I agrees with your argument...
But just think why sammy put dual core processor on mega 6.3 , And remember that mega is released after s4 (this makes sense that sammy is going to debloat their TW in their future builds)
So the sammy has responsibility to support mega atleast 1 yr . So they should bring support to dual cored devices in their next updates...

Samsung is saying that Android 5.0 will need higher resolution screens. That's why they are dropping support for various devices, even for Galaxy Grand Duos which just released. It is probably a big fat lie so we can probably expect CM to work on it.

Codeworkx already said 4.2.2 will be the last version CM supports.
I don't really care about 4.2, to be honest. Well, don't get me wrong, it's awesome that Samsung updates the S2 to 4.2.2, but that update isn't that interesting from what I've heard.
I'm more interested in proper sources...

I can't see anything interesting going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. Not bothered at all.
Great news indeed. Lets now wait for official announcement from Samsung themselves.
the guys interested if they want to read the article, here is
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/
i think its good news
I think 4.2.2 is no more needed for GS2…4.1.2 had enough function for us…maybe 4.2.2's only adv is battery saving…
However,sam is good enough for an old model to give so much updates…
sorry for my poor English…
I love how the masochists in this thread announce how they DON'T want or need 4.2.2. The attitudes of some people ...
Going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 will offer significant upgrades. Not least of all the lock screen widgets and hence the ability to use Dashclock.

Hello
According to Sammobile we dont get 5.0 android update - at least no official update. S3 mini is recently new Samsung phone and having least no 1+ version upgrade is no fair, if i remember there some +1 version promise for all samsung phones. Im not going ever buy again any Samsung device if this become true. 4.2.2 is minor upgrade and dont count, not for me. What do you all think ?

It looks like, but this phone is still one of lastest released phones from samsung. I called samsung to ask them and they dont confirm this list and says there is no official information about future firmware upgrade for S3 mini. I still have hope !
Thats a shame if its true...I thought I was safe buying this phone thinking we would get the next generation Android OS. Hmm I hope its not true. You really have to buy high end to be guaranteed anything. Im amazed to see the S2 on our list. That phone seems pretty old now.

its not fair, considering that the SGS3 and the SGS3Mini both have the same Cortex A9 Processors and Mali400 GPU. If you'd look at it, the donwside should be on the SGS3, since it needs to cope up with a huge screen resolution as compared to the SGS3Mini. Bigger resolution needs bigger RAM since the devices both have the same GPU,. Can the bigger RAM needed by the S3 be handled only in a 1GB of RAM as compared to the smaller resolution, less RAM intensive S3Mini with the same 1GB RAM..?
S3 and S3mini have diffrent cpus with difrent clocks, even the gpu is diffrent. Look it up on gsm arena.

The only difference is the chipset, clockspeed and the number of cores. But both have the same type of processors intended for the same instruction set and the same GPU. If you'd take a look at Quadrant's benchmark at system information, you'll see that they both have the same Mali-400 MP GPU. See?
The proccesor is allready a big diffrence. And s3mini has mali400 vs mali400mp (s3), i'm not sure it's the same chipset.

Indeed ... also 4.3 does have some interesting features but nothing major from my perspective ... also i think they won't separate the editions for those major updates and they'll roll out them for all s4 together ... but that's only an assumption ... and i would be shocked if any s4 doesn't get 5.0 KLP update at all ...

IF samsung decides to give us the 4.4 update. sure, it can run on devices with 512mb of ram, but the question is not whether google will enable it because it was already answered and it is possible, but the question is whether samsung will develop it for devices such as our grand.

Hi, there is already a quites stable beta version of SLIM-KAT available for the GT-i9300.
It is based on AOSP 4.4.2 and more information you can find on the XDA-forum "[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat i9300 [beta Weeklies]" and their website "slimroms.net".
S3 is the father of mobile . its better than i9500 - and yes with cm you will always be updated and better than stock one.
