Android 4.4*KitKat*might have rolled out to quite a few Samsung devices already, but the update is yet to start making its way to most of the low-end and mid-range phones in the company’s lineup. We’ve heard that Samsung has been working on those updates and is also*planning on bringing Android 4.4.3 to some of its devices, and thanks to our insider, we’ve obtained info on where the company stands regarding said updates. Starting off with*Android 4.4.3*(build number KTU70), the yet-to-be announced version of Android is currently being tested on the*Galaxy S5*(both the Exynos and Snapdragon models) and the LTE-A variant of the*Galaxy S4*(GT-I9506A).
However, Android 4.4.3 is only being integrated with Samsung’s own software and features at the moment, so it will likely not be made available for a month or so (Google will probably roll it out by the end of this month or sometime in June before Google I/O, after which we can expect to see it rolling out to the Galaxy S5 and other devices.) It’s also a bit strange that 4.4.3 is currently being integrated into the Galaxy S4 LTE-A – from what we know, Android 4.4.2 is actually being tested on that device, but since it hasn’t rolled out yet, we might see the handset skipping directly to 4.4.3 in the future.
As far as older, more modestly powered phones are concerned, it seems that Samsung is on track to follow the time frame that we’ve seen in the past. Devices like the*Galaxy Grand 2,*Galaxy Mega 5.8, and the*Galaxy Mega 6.3*are undergoing final testing and should get the Android 4.4.2 update sometime in June. Like the Galaxy S4 LTE-A, some of these devices might skip directly to Android 4.4.3 as well, so it’s possible that the update’s rollout could be pushed into July or later.

Hi all, looking to get a Galaxy S, saw this post. Should I wait and see whether they arrive here?
"Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular all decided to give their respective versions of the Galaxy S fancy trademarks, but not lil' Cellular South: the regional is just sticking with Sammy's original name for a change of pace. This would also seem to be the closest North American Galaxy S to its European cousin, featuring the standard industrial design and what appears to be a fairly stock TouchWiz load (if you can really call TouchWiz "stock") atop Android 2.1. Oh, there is one nice bonus, though: this version's got an LED flash for the 5 megapixel camera, a feature many variants left out. It includes a 16GB microSD card pre-installed to complement the 2GB of internal storage, and it's available right now for $199.99 on contract after a $50 rebate. Follow the break for the full press release."

Verizon's Galaxys S model also comes with with flash so will only be availble on their network, but afaik verizon don't offer a mobile network in the UK??? Best bet is buy an unlocked version on ebay. Also a big thing with the Verizon model is that Microsoft must have paid them some big bugs as the default search widget uses Bing
Also if you look at the image below of verizon "Samsung Continuum a Galaxy S phone" notice the ticker display the only and first phone to ever offer such

Samsung’s highly anticipated next-generation flagship smartphone has reportedly been pictured. Dutch mobile blog GSM Helpdesk on Wednesday published what it claims to be an official press photo of the Samsung Galaxy S III, obtained from an unnamed source. The site also reasserts a wide range of specs exclusively reported by BGR over the past few months, including a full HD Super AMOLED display, Android 4.0 with Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and a 1.5GHz quad-core processor. The device pictured is in line with previously leaked renders, though we can now see that Samsung appears to have opted for capacitive hardware buttons in place of the on-screen navigation buttons seen in other Android 4.0 builds. A potential date for Samsung’s announcement has been reaffirmed as well; the weather in London and the Unpacked Event calendar entry pictured on the home screen point to a May 22nd press conference in London.
Hardware sounds pretty amazing. But ne honest, who needs such a thing? It's just to keep up competition.
I wonder why the front camera never gets any better though.
Its just a galaxy 4.2 wifi with galaxy s 2s home screen and photoshopped buttons. many sites bashed this sh** in minutes.
Samsung Galaxy S3 first look
No need to wait more. The samsung galaxy s3 is came.

Gizmochina has leaked a list of different phone models which are supposedly going to be updated to Android 6.0 Marshmallow, and the Galaxy S5 is inside the list. It's worth mentioning that this is not official information and it could very well be fake.
Let's just hope this is real though, as the latest statement from samsung regarding Android 6.0 update plans didn't include the Galaxy S5.

Pretty sure we'll get MM 6.0 considering the S4 got LP not that long ago
Yeah we'll get it later given the hardware specs of s5. Samsung flagship devices take priority.

Unlike others, Usually Samsung doesn't provide any feature upgrades. Except core android feat It will remain same despite of android versions till the EOF.
I think It's a consequence of Google's hall of shame plan. OEMs has to atleast provide security patches for certain time.

Yeah...its a good sign from samsung for the future updates...
What are the benefits from security patch. I have no much knowledge about security patch. Please correct me. thank you
It's not completly clear and I can't find any trustworthy infos about the future of the next big Android update for Edge 20. Us were promised two big updates, but just can find that our beloved Edge 20 is not on any update list for A13. How could it go on and has anyone infos about this?
It's not because motorola offers only one major update officiali

They promised 2 major updates. Very annoying.
Motorola have stuck true to their word, and have added the Edge 20 and its variants to the list of phones getting the upgrade fairly recently. I believe they had marketed this particular model as having 2 "big" updates rather than the usual 1, hence why they have added it to the list.
Hope this helps even with the age of this thread.
Motorola usually updates phones after the release of the new edge series, after the global version of edge 40 they will start updating older phones with android 13. I'm guessing that the edge 20 will receive the update around April or May, It could also come late this month but it's unlikely. You can watch the release date of android 12 on this same device to get an idea.
Now we can say that the update delayed a little bit more, but seen in china region already. So we almost there, maybe this month
