The Korean electronics giant said availability of KitKat varies by carrier and product, but updates will begin Tuesday and will continue through the coming months. The Galaxy S4 and Note 3 are among the devices that will now run Google’s latest version of its mobile software.
New features of that operating system include a redesigned dialer that allows users to search for any number, even if it’s not in their phone books. For example, users can start typing the name of a restaurant and see the number appear in their list. In addition, search results or queries now pull data from apps as well as the Web. A search for a restaurant, for example, could include an app in the search results.
Here’s the full list of Samsung devices scheduled to receive KitKat:
- Galaxy Note 3
