Samsung ha comunicato ufficialmente (e finalmente diremmo) quali dispositivi riceveranno l’attesissimo aggiornamento ad Android 4.4.2 KitKat. La lista non presenta sorprese e come si prevedeva vede l’abbandono da parte della casa Coreana del Galaxy S2 che quindi non riceverà Android 4.4 KitKat.
Teniamo a precisare che la lista è stata redatta dalla divisione USA di Samsung e riguarda i dispositivi distribuiti sul territorio Americano anche se ovviamente al 99% le controparti Europee riceveranno il medesimo aggiornamento.
Ecco la lista completa dei dispositivi Samsung che riceveranno Android 4.4.2 KitKat:
