Hey guys, I have bought an S3 Neo (GT-I9301I) yesterday and I just want to ask: is Samsung planning to update it to Lollipop?
I have attached the photos of the phone's information. The region is SEB.

It's highly possible that the device will get it, because the 18 month support period hasn't passed yet. However only thing Samsumg tells us is to wait.
I think too that this device can get Android Lollipop but as we know Samsung, we will wait along!

First of all, our phone doesn't have this type of notifications to tell user there's an update available. If so, only to 2.2 froyo, via KIES. Are you sure you are the G3 user?
You will probably be one of the Samsung Galaxy S3 owners out there, they post here alot, because they think this forum is for SGS3, which isn't. I repeat - read forum name correctly, S3 users This is the forum for Galaxy 3 GT-I5800. Not the S3.
From Phandroid's article:
Despite being the biggest and most successful, Samsung isn’t always the most vocal player in the game when it comes to discussing upgrades to new versions of Android. The company has yet to formally detail a list of devices that will be receiving Android 4.4 KitKat.
Phandroid 4.4 KitKat
While anyone might have guessed that the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 might have been in line, a source close to the matter has confirmed to Phandroid that the following list of devices will be receiving the illustrious upgrade (devices in bold have already started to receive official rollouts):
Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317
Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747
Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-t217a
Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337
Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-i537
Samsung Galaxy Mega SGH-i527
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom SM-c105a
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900a
Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 SGH-i467
Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini SM-g730a
As you can see, the Note 3′s rollout started late last month over in Poland, and should be heading to other regions as Samsung works out logistics and testing. As for the Samsung Galaxy S4, it was only this morning that Samsung began pushing out KitKat for users of the LTE-A variant over in South Korea.
Early reports of firmware from both the Galaxy S4 and Note 3 suggest Samsung didn’t change much in KitKat, though that’s because most of their significant upgrades came with the upgrade to Android 4.3 (which mainly enabled new camera features and Galaxy Gear compatibility). Users are treated to improved performance, though, as well as slight changes to Samsung’s UI which amount to little more than a couple of new icons.
Unfortunately, that’s about the length of our knowledge thus far. There’s no telling when, exactly, Samsung will look to push the upgrades out, nor do we know if they’re even close to being ready for public consumption.
android-kitkat
More than anything, though, we’re just happy to know that devices dating back to 2012 are getting some love (especially considering a lot of other OEMs have already abandoned phones that only released just last year). We’ll be looking to dig up any information we can on the impending updates in the weeks (or months) to come.

Sammobile said our device and Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 are cheap devices and they're not sure if Samsung will bring KitKat to budget phones -_- God bless us.

What's the difference from the normal S3 mini (8190) to the G730A? Why did they create a new model number for an already existing model? Can I install this new firmware on the older model?

I hope they publish an oficial rom for international phones... So far all custom roms have some glitches... I'll be expectating...
There's many roms for this phone. I like the Carbon Rom personalization, but it's isn't ready yet on 4.4...

Hello XDA ,
As you can see I have a big problem. I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon and I left the country. Now, I want to use it where I live and I have fixed the SIM card problems but I want to run the original S4 I9500 ROM and not the Verizon one, as i suspect the Verizon one causes problems. Can I do that? As the devices are the same but the one i have is from verizon and has a different model number.
I (my wife) has the same phone, I managed to root it and tomorrow I will try to flash twrp and look if I can get cm14 on it. Stupid Verizon ROM....
Late reply I know... Merry Christmas
Hi,
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Duos (China/TD-LTE) Marshmallow update was released in 03.08.2016 in China (Open China) and for (PHONE Version N9100ZCU1DPH1)
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY%20Note4/22fd/CHC/N9100ZCU1DPH1/N9100CHC1DPH1/
My phone is Galaxy Note 4 Duos (China/TD-LTE) is Firmware SM-N9100 but with different (PHONE Version which is N9100ZHS1CPG1)
https://samsung-firmware.org/download/Galaxy%20Note%204%20Duos%20(China/TD-LTE)/862g/TGY/N9100ZHS1CPG1/N9100ZZH1CPG1/
Now my question is as follow, can I manually flush framework SM-N9100 for Galaxy Note 4 Duos (China/TD-LTE) by downloading (PHONE Version N9100ZCU1DPH1) for a different PHONE Version which is (N9100ZHS1CPG1) using Odin Tool or any other tool?
Is it possible? if yes, any issues doing so?
Is it going to break the support for the device? or is going to break next OTA updates?
My problem is my phone get hacked and I wanted to update since long time, but after waiting this long to released the update, they released it but for another PHONE Version, and everytime I keep waiting for long time to get the update, which is very bad for me to keep waiting.
If anyone have any suggestions, guid or advice, please let me know
Best regards
Yes you can. As long as the firmware belong to N9100 you can. If the firmware belong to other variant like N910F then you can't
