[Galaxy S III General] .NetRolller 3D:
What I would like to see is a KitKat upgrade out *before* Google comes out with 4.5.

The S3 has not had an update to the bleeding-edge Android since October 2012, when 4.2 came out. It has been up-to-date for about a total of 2 months in its entire lifetime (~1 month between initial release and Google 4.1, ~1 month from Samsung 4.1 to Google 4.2).

The 4.1.2 OTA came already when Google had 4.2.

The 4.3 OTA similarly came after Google's 4.4.

Just for PR, Samsung had better not screw it up this time.
[Galaxy S III General] gieffe22:
another rumor, i don't know why but i trust this site (probably cause of detailled infos):

http://www.justaboutphones.com/android-4-4-2-kitkat-update-samsung-galaxy-s3-almost/
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
First week of May...

guess the whole S3 community would be watching out for this date then, if the source is reliable. (No Knox, hah. Wasn't the very first build of Knox demoed on an S3?)
[Galaxy S III General] gieffe22:
knox has never included on s3 i9300 (on i9305 yes)...so with kitkat samsung tried to put this **** in, but for our luck they failed (or simply is a gift for modders because of stopping support)...ram is NOT a problem(would be ridicoulus for a release developed for low ram use), this is only a rumor that some users put in circle here on xda and then in many other forums!

EDIT

another confirm? faryaab says:

It'd also be interesting to know the track record of the websites... whether they're onto something or just speculating.

It'd be nice to see a test firmware sometime soon, the original Note 10.1 just leaked its Kitkat so maybe we're set to see more devices?
[Galaxy S III General] gieffe22:

man by your info even now there aren't test build for our phone?

and if so...the people of justaboutphone that have an insider why tell us first week of may,fake?is possible that your insider have no infos because of a lower level on samsung internal work hierarchy(or secret test build to make crazy owners of gs3 and improve sales of gs5 ) ?

[Galaxy S III General] user3k:
Well, there's a leak 4.4 for the gt-n8000, and the hardware is practically the same talking about cpu/gpu. I think this is good news.
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
There aren't any tablets on there, so fair enough note 10.1 is not listed there.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Stop writing about hardware. Not updating the S3 to 4.4 will never have that reason.

Mostly,it's about whether Samsung wants to update it or not.
[Galaxy S III General] user3k:
My point was about the s3 being old/end of support and the note 10.1 too. I looked in the specs of the note, and the release was in August. I was thinking the release was a bit sooner, so my conclusion. By myself I know that the s3 is fully capable of running 4.4

My other point was that the rom can maybe be ported, I read it can be done, don't know if is really possible.
[Galaxy S III General] Cristi10:
Maybe we'll get a leak before (there is one for note 10.1) but i don't know we'll see. I think Samsung is delaying the update in hope that more will upgrade but i think we'll get it eventually.
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Think people, think. Who is potential S5 buyer, the one with Note 3, the one with Galaxy S4, or the one with Galaxy S3?

If update is going to happen, it will happen in a month from now. And even if it happens don't expect anything apart from incremental Android update, changelist between Android 4.2.2 and 4.3 was much longer than the one between 4.3 and 4.4, just FYI. It won't fix crappy TouchWiz, it won't bring any new features and it will be the last official update for S3.
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
I appreciate the realism in this post. Now if only people on Sammobile (and a select few on xda) could understand that...
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
I'm just a bit tired of everybody going crazy about faked or non-faked news and new update, while the reality is that it doesn't offer anything interesting, and it won't offer anything interesting. The 4.3 update was the one we had high hopes, and it ended as a big s... crap. Android 4.4 won't magically fix it. In best scenario it will be a bit more optimized but it won't contain any S4/S5/N3 features, and still will perform bad in comparision with any AOSP here.

Just my 3 cents.
[Galaxy S III General] Havoc-X:
In general i know that Samsung releases a bit buggy ROMS at first, but 4.3 was below their usual buggy standard. The more likely explanation is that while busy with 4.3, they received 4.4 details (manufacturers obviously get it earlier) and therefore released 4.3 with as least work as they could. If we have any luck, they started 4.4 for development awhile back, worked on it slowly and will release it when the initial contract upgrade season is over.

They did this before with the S3, they had 4.2.2 sorted but never released it until way after the S4 came out. Wasn't officially released but the leaked build was basically 95% working, in fact it was more stable than 4.3.
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Yes, they had perfect 4.2.2, they waited with the release and released buggy non-waking-up 4.3. Now we have 4.4.2, and we'll wait a bit longer to get even more buggy 4.4.3 or 4.5 :D.
[Galaxy S III General] regaber:
Is the (hopeful) release of official 4.4 going to help AOSP ? I'm thinking of camera support for example, or blutooth.
[Galaxy S III General] Choristav:
No and no.
[Galaxy S III General] joevik:
I think Samsung should be more like apple when they release updates. When apple releases updates all its products gets the same IOS. Now that android 4.4 has been released for many of its devices, Samsung should really consider releasing it to its high end smartphones.
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
Samsung has slightly more models and variants to maintain than Apple.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
First reason why I want kitkat is choosing default messaging app feature. That will make my life easier.

Other than that,white icons,lockscreen wallpapers and optimization are much appreciated.

I know that it will still remain laggy in places (settings for ex.),but at least I will have a worth it update with custom kernel for smoothness and I think that would be good.

[Galaxy S III General] popoyaya:
Surely yes and yes, when sources are published.
[Galaxy S III General] DaReDeViL:
I am pretty sure we'll have kitkat for 2 reasons:

1- they aren't updating current 4.3 line since some time which means (for me) they are working on something else ...

2- some similar phones just got official/leak kitkat firmwares

So it's just about time ;)

[Galaxy S III General] regaber:
Why the hurry ? Do you need kitkat so much that you would flash an unstable ported rom ? Give it some time, don't brick your device. If samsung releases kitkat in one month, you will be glad you waited. If not, some great devs will take time to see if it is possible to port note2 rom stable enough for a daily driver.

I mean, it's not like kitkat is gonna transform you device into a galaxy s6 or anything...
[Galaxy S III General] xda_Noob.:
we need kit kat to port s5 apps much easier :D
[Galaxy S III General] WarCow:
Galaxy Note 10.1 is getting Kitkat as well. That device was launched about the same time as the Galaxy S3, and also if im not mistaken, the chipset and cpu is identical. So porting should be easy enough, i hope? :)

I think that include all the varians, including the i9300 and i9305. Us version isn't much better that international version. Only have more 1 gb of ram, but kitkat it's optimized to phones with 512 mbs of ram so...
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
4.4.2 would be awesome , we could then port alot of S5 Features like ultra power saving mode (greyscale) and stuff :/
[Galaxy S III General] pfigo:
Yes but S3 9305 has 2gb ram and was lunched after Note 10.1
[Galaxy S III General] dkionline:
Lol, whait man...
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
It does not include the i9300/i9305 they have never ever been launched in the US, samsung USA has nothing to do with them, they've likely never even seen an international model. It's not just more ram, it's a totally different phone, it runs a qualcomm chipset for a start instead of our crappy exynos.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Oh okay... So if Samsung will no give Android kitkat to my Galaxy SIII, i will never buy a Samsung anymore :D
[Galaxy S III General] Cavalera90:
So buy HTC instead! Their flagships One X and One X+ from 2012 got Kitkat! ... hm wait... oh damn, they stopped at 4.2.2!!

We got Sonys flagship the Xperia S from 2012 which is also up to date with Kitkat. Hm it isn't? Stopped at 4.1 :laugh:

Which big player is left? LG? First flagship from 2012 was the Optimus 4X HD, guess the what the latest software is? 4.1

But their second flagship from 2012, the Optimus G, has Kitkat planned for this summer. *Hooray*

If I'm correct, it launched the same time than the Note II, which is already on official Kitkat :good:

If I still have to read some dumb a** comment about people whining that there are no real news on Kitkat ( which will eventually come -> Note 2 and Tab 10.1 have similar hardware ) I will take a plane to come in person to you and slap you with a stick!!

This thread is supposed to be the main source for leaks, news, twitter and facebook rumours and it should be like this again.

Edit: Having the latest software isn't always necessary. Most of the people dont care, as long as their phone runs just like it used to. I even prefer 4.1 over 4.3 on my S3. If I didnt install a new kernel, i'd surely perform a downgrade! I chose to buy an S3 because I liked it one year ago, why shouldnt i like it now because it doesnt run kitkat? Some people just want to throw their phone away, even though it runs perfectly fine. If kitkat really comes I keep using my S3 for at least another year!
