With the surprise release of Android 4.4.2 on all of Google’s Nexus devices last week, it was only natural that the Google Play Edition devices would also be updated to Android 4.4.2, albeit slightly later. Android 4.4.2 for Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition has been made available today and updates the device to the KOT49H build which we have heard so much about. The update should be doing the rounds as an OTA update, but if you can’t wait till it takes its sweet time to get to you, you can download the files from the Google servers; links below:

Specifically for the S4 GPe, there appears to be a fix for the H symbol being replaced with the 3G symbol even if you are connected to HSPA+. Along with that, like all the other Android 4.4.2 updates, the update squashes a lot of bugs and security vulnerabilities, in particular the SMS DOS bug that was causing waves recently.
If you download the update, be sure to let us know how you find it in the comments.
