Ok this is right but I am absolutely not going to iPhone. I'm gonna buy a Samsung device. Maybe that's why Samsung doesn't want to update their phones,maybe she knows that everyone eventually will buy another Samsung device.. :'(

Go for nexus with iPhone leave about updates my brother phone lost speakers in one year and software problem won't boot into dustbin
IPhone work great until it works
So nexus is better
Agree, once you go Android you never go back, but I think I might just buy a nexus or so, because Samsung dissapoints me if they don't update their devices
...and(!) thehacka1...

Yeah but there are still some minor ( or not so minor for some) issues on that version... It would be great to get original update and then other roms that branch out of the original one
Its nice to see people care.

I think that these updates come for AT&T phones... But I'm not sure. Someone else may know... :what:
Those are all qcomm devices which makes sense.

I already know that. It has a qualcomm CPU msm8930. Same with tab 3 mine has a Marvell CPU yet the ones with qualcomm are getting 4.4. Qualcomm code is very clean and support is very good and it's easier to work with and bring up. This is always the case no one wants to recode when CPU vendors don't have code for newer android versions. Ste died with 4.1 and Samsung has no time to go and recode until it's stable.

13Of course S3 Mini will get KitKat
http://maclaw.pl/2013/11/10/project-kitkat-has-started/
http://maclaw.pl/2013/11/10/another-kitkat-photos/6If you're a Galaxy S3 Mini user and really want to get Kitkat on your phone then your in luck! I saw an article about Samsung updated their Linux Kernel which is optimized for low memory or low spec phones!
READ THE ARTICLE HERE:
http://www.sidhtech.com/news/android-44-kitkat-update-roadmap-phones-list/10019827/2People, you can forget about Samsung developing and releasing KitKat for 3mini. Remember SGS1? It didn't get official ICS because (their reply to my mail) "HW in SGS1 is not capable of running ICS." They didn't care that in that time ICS was working on that phone way better than GB...
It's their policy. You have flagship current SGS4 and SGS4 mini, future that everyone is expecting (SGS5, announced) and obsolete in their eyes (SGS3 mini).
If they upgrade SGS3 mini, they will lose about 1/3 of potential buyers that would go for SGS5. They don't want that people stick to "old" stuff, there is no profit in that. Remember SGS1 again? That piece of magnificence (best phone ever build by Samsung) is running KitKat! So all those people still on SGS1 are lost cause for Samsung's profit. According to Samsung they should buy SGS2, SGS3, SGS4 and in 4 months SGS5 and not stick for the same phone 4 years.
As I said, if you have same phone in your pocket more than 1 year, Samsung ( and any other manufacturer, be honest about that) is treating you as lost investment. By not updating second generation phones (and tabs) they will get a lot of people to buy new, better, updated blahblah phone, and when that new, better, updated phone will be second generation they will forget about it again, like they did for SGS3 mini. That's market's, focused only on profit, reality.
Sorry to bring you bad news, but you already knew that.2STE doesn't exists anymore. So there's no producer support for our board anymore. Samsung would have to make whole, realy whole, from the beggining. They don't have any reason to spend money to develop for "cheap" devices. So sorry guys, don't get excited. I don't think so it'll happen. Similar news was published about 4.2.2. Did we received official 4.2? Nope
