Learn what today’s Samsung phone updates bring to the handsets below.While it would be nice indeed for the updates to bring Android 5.0 Lollipop, it’s pretty unlikely that any of these are going to see that update anytime soon.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active getting Android 4.4.2 KitKat today

Google’s launch of Android 4.4 KitKat is already 7 months old, and it isn’t until now that we’re seeing most OEMs update their smartphones to the latest and greatest version of the operating system. Such is the case of Samsung, which has done a decent job this year with updates, but not as good as OEMs like Sony and HTC. Still, we’ve seen the leaked time-lines for the update, and we’re now seeing some of last-year’s models getting the update. Today Samsung has officially launched Android 4.4.2 KitKat for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. This ruggedized ...

Samsung leak shows progress towards Android 4.4.3, 4.4.2 updates

Back around the start of May, an internal Samsung document leaked out, revealing the company’s work in pursuit of Android 4.4.2 updates for a number of currently available smartphones. What it revealed wasn’t great news – for instance, we saw the Galaxy S III fail to make the cut for models that would get the update – but it was still nice to insight into Samsung’s progress. Today we return with an update, and while there’s not a ton of progress on the 4.4.2 side of the fence, we also touch ...

Samsung leak reveals KitKat update status for numerous models

Fragmentation isn’t today the nasty word it was just a few years ago, as differences between the various Android platform releases tend to not have quite the limiting effect they once did. Still, that desire to have the latest-and-greatest update remains a pervasive one, and owners of models still stuck on older builds are going to be keeping a look out for any sign of incoming releases. Today we investigate a leak from Samsung that gives us a little taste of what’s to come, detailing the status of KitKat updates for a number of its ...

Moto G customers complain about loss of connection after Android 4.4.2

One of the biggest benefits that Moto G customers have found, aside from the fact that they’re paying half as much for such a powerful smartphone, is the fact that Motorola has mastered Android software updates. Today, if you want to get the latest and greatest version of Android at an affordable price, there’s now way to beat the Moto G. That said, the benefits of the early adopter aren’t necessarily positive, and that’s been the case for some Moto G customers. As it turns out people are now complaining of the smartphone losing connectivity in the Motorola support ...

Samsung Galaxy S 4 KitKat test build leaks; no big UI overhaul yet

Back in November, we saw a leaked document that indicated Samsung’s plans to begin with distribution of an Android 4.4 KitKat update for its Galaxy S 4 flagship sometime this month, in January. It remains to be seen if the company is going to meet that schedule, or if things have (all too likely) slid back a little, but today we get a little bit of a preview of what to expect, with the leak of a pre-release GS4 KitKat update. The interesting part, however, may not be what we see present, but what we ...

Well that was fast: Moto G Android 4.4.2 update already landing

We were all ready to get out hands on the Moto G sometime in January, as Motorola finally made the crazy-good-deal smartphone available to shoppers in the US, when out of the blue, Motorola started selling the Android smartphone in late November. This early arrival was definitely appreciated, but it didn’t come without cost; as we noted last week in our Moto G review, instead of the KitKat we were hoping for, Motorola ...

Android 4.4 KitKat was introduced when Google released the Nexus 5.

We’re not even sure everyone managed to grab the Android 4.4.1 update that started rolling out to the Nexus 5, Nexus 4, and some Nexus 7 devices recently, and now Android 4.4.2 is being pushed out to pure-Androids.
