You can always flash one.... If you're looking for an official release I would certainly say yes. How long remains unknown. The GSIII and Note2 are Samsung's flagship phones... and 2 of the best phones on the market. It will come, just a matter of how long.

Thanks for the advice acrually I don't wanna flash it will make my S pen useless. So , why did nexus devices got android 4.2.2 early ?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium HD app
Because the Nexus IS "the google phone" It's Google's very own. It's made by various companies depending on which one (previous "google" phones), but it's "vanilla" meaning it has no UI on top of it. Example: HTC phones have "Sense". Samsung has "Touch Wiz" It takes time for Samsung to implement their stuff on top of the new OS.
Ok ok thanks

The nexus will have 4.3 or 4.4 by the time Samsung gets around to getting a 4.2.2 rom out for the note 2 ... just the way it is .... Nexus is always ahead

You would be better suited to post in your phones forum. This is the sprint note 2 forums (sph-l900) and you're using the international variant (n7100)
I like to break stuff!

We'll get 4.2 TWiz ROMs when we get 4.2 TWiz ROMs. Which will be sometime, who knows when. A leaked GS3 4.2 build appeared in the wild today FWIW.
This phone runs awesome on the current version. I'm very content
I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.
Transmitted from my SGH-T999.
I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/

Do you think that the galaxy nexus will still be updated to android 4.3 and 5.0?
Definitely get 4.3 with gnex as its still jellybean an its not exactly a major update just a couple of tweaks here an there, why would they discontinue the jellybean updates with the gnex while we are already on jellybean that's just stupid as for android 5 i seriously doubt we will get it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i think we will get 5.0 also since majority of the phones in the market are still on gb and ics and single core phones, ours is still dual core and i feel its got enough juice to run the future os versions
I think the nexus 4 and 7 will get the 5.0 update, for the galaxy nexus probably only 4.3 hopefully also 5.0

Hey man, how are you? I'm kind of new to this thread so I'm sorry if this question already exists. Ok so I bought my galaxy nexus in South Korea and now I'm in Mozambique, In Africa and I am on android 4.1.2 and I don't get notifications to update to 4.3 and when I go to check for update it says your phone is up to date, could you please help me? Thanks :fingers-crossed: oh and I got the phone like 3-4 months ago

does samsung galaxy note 8.0 will be android 4.3 or 4.4 ? note 2 get android 4.3..sorry bad english
Nobody knows the answer to that yet. My best guess (based on history of updates to the first Samsung 10 inch flagship tablet) is that an update to 4.3 may be possible, but don't expect it until the version after KitKat 4.4 is almost released by Google. I would be surprised if we see it before next summer. Android 4.4 should make it to our tablets in custom ROMs by the developer community. Less likely to be updated by Samsung, but not impossible.

I don't think that they are gonna update the Xperia S anymore. It's a shame as it's a good device, I hope they don't do the same and abandon my Z1 after 18 months like they did with this device. Hopefully tho they might update this but it's very unlikely

Abandon? You expecting lifetime of updates? They didn't abandon Xperia S. The current firmware is fine.

Why must there be? There are unofficial versions, just use those. Are you expecting Sony to keep every single phone they ever released up to date? There must be hundreds by now (okay that was a hyperbole, 48 according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Xperia), noone can keep up with that. If you must blame anyone or anything for the short while that phones are getting updates, blame Android because it's so hard to install on hardware (compared to more classic PC OS's like Windows and Ubuntu/Pick-Your-Favorite-Linux-Distro). Not even the Galaxy Nexus got an update to Android 4.4, and if there was one Nexus that was most like our Fuji-phones it was that one. So if our generation's Nexus isn't even getting any updates anymore, how do you expect a non-Nexus device to get that update.
Seriously, I don't like this either, so ever since KitKat I haven't run a stock ROM. Now you've learned that if stock updates are important to you, you should get a Nexus or a Google Play Edition device. Sony has been known not to be very good in providing long term updates ever since the Xperia X10 (their very first Android phone). And if you can't afford to get a new phone every 2 years (because that's how long it'll be relevant), you should stop being so sensitive about updates and be happy with what you have.

Best not buy a HTC, support isn't great there either. The One X(L) isn't going beyond Android 4.2. If this is important to you, there's only q Nexus, a Google Play Edition phone or maybe a Motorola Moto X but we still have to see how long Motorola is going to support phones now they're part of Google.
And indeed we wouldn't be much without Rayman or bilchen. But it's like this for the vast majority of Android devices.

I tried several KK-based roms for xperia S, but all gave me random reboots
had some on 4.3, but with 4.4 I have too many to be stable as dayly driver.
i guess they all use the same kernel (open semc), that could explain why the all have it?
but... why do some people claim to have no reboots, and others have em 'all the time'?
i'm now on nature rom (4.1) and no problems at all, it's a great rom, but i really like 4.4 as well.
will there be a stable kernel/version soon?

First of all, the XS it's not just another phone sony launched, its a flagship device that only got two major updates (one actually cause ics should have been out of the box) so I at least expected 4.2 or 4. 3, even Galaxy s2 got them
second, the galaxy nexus didn't get 4.4 because of Texas instruments (supposedly) and as long as other oems continue to update it means it's possible and we have every right to complain about it

You're absolutely correct that Galaxy Nexus lack of KitKat is due to Texas Instruments. Similar, Xperia S ain't getting 4.2 and above due to Qualcomm, not Sony.
