Samsung Devices with 1gb Ram will Not get Kitkat update - Confirmed

Recently we posted that samsung galaxy s3 was not going to get any further update . May be it is because of 18 months policy that after the launch of device , it will get updates till 18 months only . But yesterday , Samsung cleared that They need approximately 2Gb or 1.5gb ram to make Samsung kitkat official roms . 1gb Ram cannot handle Samsung apps and Are hanging and giving Force close . This is the reason Why Samsung galaxy s3 was eliminated for getting further updates . Also Samsung is not even giving any updates to 1gb devices .

Here is the message from Samsung Uk, which confirmed No updates for 1gb devices-


“In order to facilitate an effective upgrade on the Google platform, various hardware performances such as the memory (RAM, ROM, etc.), multi-tasking capabilities, and display must meet certain technical expectations. The Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions come equipped with 1GB RAM, which does not allow them to effectively support the platform upgrade. As a result of the Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions’ hardware limitation, they cannot effectively support the platform upgrade while continuing to provide the best consumer experience. Samsung has decided not to roll-out the KitKat upgrade to Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions, and the KitKat upgrade will be available to the Galaxy S3 LTE version as the device’s 2GB RAM is enough to support the platform upgrade.” – Samsung Mobile UK

 More over Samsung introduced Samsung galaxy ace style with 512 mb ram and with kitkat out of the box .
Samsung is really doing wrong with the customers and instead of Further giving more updates , they are launching more and more smartphone , to increase their sales . Many pages of Facebook and comments are showing that the users will not further buy Samsung products .

Here is the list of devices which will not get any kitkat update -


  • Samsung galaxy core
  • Samsung galaxy core duos
  • Samsung galaxy grand
  • Samsung galaxy grand quttro
  • Samsung galaxy s advance
  • Samsung galaxy s3
  • Samsung galaxy s3 mini
  • Samsung galaxy S duos 2
  • Samsung galaxy 
  • Samsung galaxy grand duos
  • Samsung galaxy grand Neo
  • Samsung galaxy s2
And more devices with 1gb ram . If your manufacturer is samsung and your device has 1 gb ram , u will not get further updates . Maximum samsung will only update 1gb devices to 4.3.1 jelly bean .

Samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300 Is not getting official android 4.4.2 KitKat update

And it is dooms day for Samsung galaxy s3 users . Recently Samsung galaxy s3 sprint version got android 4.4.2 Update but after the leak picture of devices getting android 4.4.2 kitkat update we got to know that s3 users are finally not getting android 4.4.2 kitkat update .Only  s3 GT-I9300 international variant will not get any further updates because of some unsolved issue . 15 minutes before Sammobile.com posted the confirmed kitkat update for devices and it became a very bad day for s3 users .


Also many users are also disappointing with Samsung decision . Samsung has declined the third generation Samsung smartphone to up date with kitkat because it has only 1gb ram , while other s3 variants comes with 2 gb of ram that are LTE and US models  .Also its being 18 months to launch Samsung  galaxy s3 and according to Samsung's 18 months policy there will be no further updates for the device .
