Neither there are indications when they will begin updating their Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 models to Android 4.4 KitKat.

Samsung confirmed in early May that the International Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 model would not receive the Android 4.4 KitKat update due to incompatibility with RAM capacities. As according to Samsung, the 1GB of RAM in the International Galaxy S3 model is not enough to support the Android 4.4 operating system effectively.
