How about 2012 flagship..
I'm using Note 2 N7100 Indian version.
Will any Note 2 gets lollipop updates?

Between is Note 2 with Exynos 4412 prime with 1.6 ghz capable of handling lollipop?

    It doesn't matter if the updates bring no visible changes. They can't even update the weather widget for us galaxy note 2 users. Something which isn't difficult at all.

      Dave, 03 Nov 2014I dont see why people are bothered everyone who owns the S4... moreI don't think i'm going to upgrade to Galaxy S6
      I have a feeling it'll be bigger than the S5 which is already bigger than the S4
      And that is total Nope from me

                      I think after motorola, samsung would be the next manufacturer who will provide lollipop to their phones. :P

I am talking about how long will it take to update all of those variants Samsung idiotically manufactured... This is what I hate about throwing out variants and variants. Users will die waiting for their S4's to be upgraded to Lolipop...

                            NONE. You can make promises at any time... it's delivering on those promises that is the real challenge.

                              Please prioritize the International Model Galaxy S4 i9505 because there is a lot of people around the world using this model compare to i9500. Please be fair to all users that need an update specially the Kitkat lot of bugs.

                                I bet they will (officially) announce it late, but they will still manage to make the update "real" before Sony.
                                Wouldn't be the first time and certainly won't be the last.
