            I'm already using KitKat on my S3. Probably going to get S5 after the release. Updates don't matter to me, since I'm going to use CyanogenMod anyway. There will be (daily/weekly) updates then.

                Galaxy grand is in the list. That would make it almost certain that the S3 will get an update

                    AnonD-77351, 20 Feb 20144.0 -> 4.1 -> 4.2 -> 4.3 Still not a bad run. Sam... moreGalaxy Nexus uses an old chipset that has been *proved* to not have hardware support for the new kernels.

                    The S3 is not only a newer phone, it is made by Samsung. It is Samsung's decision to not update the phone, to not include the chipset support. Shameful for a flagship that is not even two years old.

                            That is because they need time to correct the 4.3 first. Lol

                                What about with the S3 I747???? it has 2gb of ram, and besides of that i believe, plenty of samsnung phones can hold the 4.4, it only has to release some space of the infamous touchwiz, it´s nice, but i might think it´s overloaded with useless applets!!!
                                P.S. sorry for my english.

                                    If that's the case, hopefully they release a more stable version of the 4.3 firmware. Leaving the consumer with a firmware with multiple issues who cant upgrade nor downgrade definitely leaves a bad taste for the company.
