    darkgamer, 15 Jul 2014Actually the question is, why would you want 4.4.4??? Th... moreYeah that's so true,Samsung rocks in software and stability issues unlike Sony. S4 is really a great buy,yesterday evening i used it like hell,facebook,whats app,viber then watched some videos still it had 46% of juice left in the morning,highly satisfied with it's battery life it reminded me of my Lumia 720 which had equally good battery life.
    Thanks for the information bro.

          The difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 is only a couple of bug fixes in stock android. Samsung already has fixed those bugs and now we don't have any of those bugs on 4.4.2. So it's practically 4.4.4

          The reason sony had to do it is that sony uses a lot of stock android in their UI.

          The difference is just copying and pasting a few lines of code. That's why sony is fast.

          Sony will be super slow in the next android release.

          For example:

          s4 and HTC m7 got kitkat in february

          Z1 and Z ultra which were newer flagships( released in Q3 or Q$ 2013) got kitkat in late april

          Xperia Z which was released at the same time as s4 got in in early june.

          Don't compare these small tweaks. It takes less than a day to implement them.

          And the next OS update s4 will get, it'll get the new touchwiz used in s5 and that takes time to prepare.

          I bet we'll get android L faster than even Z2. Samsung rocks in software and stability updates.

                            The best phone ever.

                            Just hold it in your hand without Cover case.

                            S4 user will know how premium it is..

                            Look better than S5 with sharp thin silver lining edges wen compared to S5.

                                  If you go to a samsung store, they use the same odin and will update it for free.

                                    I have not dropped my g2 and I'm not going to as it looks fragile and I don't want to lose it.

                                    G2 has really thin bezels and that means very low impact resistance.
