    Well that's normal for samsung, android 4 can work on 512mb devices but not on 1Gb devices. I ain't going to buy s4 or s5 just for a new software, that is wasting money. S3 is at the same price as S4 mini witch is so inferior, at list in my country. Who would wanna buy new phones when for the same amount of money are inferior? Samsung is trying to squeeze too much money from people. Last update for S3 has major bugs(never update it), i think it has been don intentionally. Anyway, hoping for my first jailbreak if samsung does not give a android 4 update for s3.

            The S3 is the best value-for-money handset available on the market right now. It's basically a much, much cheaper S4 + a radio receiver. Not releasing the update is Samsung, politely trying to tell their customers to shed some cash and switch to the S4 already. but then again, why would they still sell the very outdated S2 Plus??

              I own a Galaxy SIII and i bought the phone in December 2013 because i didn`t like the size of the S4 and various functions that I wouldn`t use, but i wanted to get all the neat software updates including KitKat. If samsung confirms that galaxy S3 won`t get the software update, i will lose all respect for this company. And i really have a lot of devices from them

                          Why you all are waiting for TouchWiz. Just root your phone and flash CM 11, yuppeee!!!! you got 4.4.2 on your Samsung Galaxy S3. It's butter smooth.

                                    Not only are they very delayed half a year in all their updates, Last year flagship will not get any major upgrade because they don't wanna lose some money. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

                                    At least offer the stock android version, we don't want your clutter anymore. but we don't wanna risk bricking the phone or spend hours learning to root.

                                      The international Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305 has 2GB of RAM too. This is nonsense
