Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012) Android 4.4.2 KitKat update arrives in the Philippines

Samsung has finally rolled out the Android 4.4.2 update to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2012). This is the tablet's first ever software update after it had 4.1 so it was a very long wait for those who owned one. Earlier today, I got a notification from my N8000 (with mobile connectivity) that an 800MB software update is ready for download. I was sure with that size of  download that it is gonna be the KitKat coming and it did not fail me. There are a lot of things going on with the new software once you have it installed. Aside from a new look and feel it will give your device, it gave the tablet the boost it did not have with 4.1. It feels faster and apps seems to launch faster with 4.4. Multi-window has now been changed from what we previously known from the Note 10.1 to the one that the Galaxy Note 3 has (check photos below). I am sure there are a lot more things with this update, I still need to discover them but for those who have the update already and are looking for the screenshot button? Samsung removed that. Taking a screenshot with the new software will require you either with the S Pen (the S Pen trick) or pressing and holding the Lock and Volume Down buttons. Check the update now and enjoy your even faster Note 10.1 (2012).

It first came into the world in France. So I kept waiting until, this morning, my phone downloaded the update.

The Samsung Galaxy S III finally gets its Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update! Download now!

The time Samsung announced that the they will be bringing to the Galaxy S III the features found on the Galaxy Note II like that amazing, multi-window feature, every SGS III owner, I believe, was excited. Yesterday, a lot of people from my circle have posted on social networks that they already have the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update on their devices which puts Samsung's promise into reality. Now, the Galaxy S III is at part (software-wise) with the Galaxy Note II with this update. Both devices are already on this version of the OS since the SGN2 was updated a week or so ago. So, SGS III owners who still did not update, start downloading, this probably is a 260MB download like the Note II's so I suggest you do the downloading either via WiFi or on your PC with Samsung Kies.
