Late last year, an alleged Samsung internal document appeared to suggest that Android KitKat would become available for the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 in January 2014, and sure enough, the Android 4.4.2 update for Galaxy Note 3 started rolling out last week. Reportedly starting its roll-out in Poland, the update will be rolling out to all Note 3s with model number SM-N9005 presumably in the near future; sorry Note 3 owners with carrier versions, you’ll have to hold your breath a little longer.
If you do have a SM-N9005 and you can’t wait for the OTA update, you can try your luck by downloading the update files over at SamMobile.
Accompanying the roll-out of the Android 4.4.2 update, Samsung has made the kernel source files available for all the excited developers out there. The files are available now on Samsung Open Source for download so hit the source link below if you’re interested in tinkering with the newest update.
Let us know if you get the Android 4.4.2 update on your Note 3 and how you find it.
