Android 4.4 KitKat OTA Available for International Galaxy Note 3 Neo

 

Samsung finally released the Android 4.4 KitKat OTA update for the international model of Galaxy Note 3 Neo. This firmware launch comes rather late as Samsung already made available the same update in Korea for a while now. Anyway, if you are still running your Galaxy Note 3 Neo on stock Android OS, then head towards “menu – settings – about phone – system update” for checking if KitKat is available for you. In case you have rooted your phone and installed it with a custom ROM software, like CM11, AOKP or Paranoid Android, you will have to apply the official Android KitKat OS manually, by using Odin.

The firmware is available in India and it will be offered gradually or in phases like any other OTA release – thus not all the International Galaxy Note 3 Neo users will receive the notification at the same time. Anyway, as already stated, the Android 4.4 KitKat XXUCNG6 is available online which means that you can manually download and flash the same on your smartphone. Moreover, do note that for being able to receive the OTA roll out, your device must be locked and powered by the stock Android software – else you will have to complete a manual update procedure (stay close as I will soon show you how in a dedicated step by step guide).

In case you have already received the notification for your Note 3 Neo, don’t apply the OTA without using a WiFi connection – don’t use your data plan as the KitKat firmware represent a major OS improvement and you might have to pay for extra network service.

So, that was all for now; don’t forget to share your impressions with us once you test the Android 4.4 KitKat XXUCNG6 OS on your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo. Also, stay close as we will bring a manual update tutorial soon – then you will be able to learn how to use Odin for updating your Samsung device.
