Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update

New Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update Build Rolls Out on January 6

Samsung and Sprint have announced that that a brand new Android 4.4.2 KitKat official update will be rolled out in the first week of 2015. The new update will probably be the final KitKat build that rolls out for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 smartphone.

The Android 4.4.2 L900VPUBNK2 KitKat OTA Update brings several new features and bug fixes, as well as stability improvements. Your Sprint Galaxy Note 2 should be faster and smoother than before. This future new firmware will most probably be one of the final builds of Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung and Sprint focusing on Android 5.0 Lollipop integration for some of their newer Samsung models. There is no word on the availability of Android 5.0 Lollipop for Galaxy Note 2, but we can still have hope that the latest Android OS build will be released for it, too.

This new Android 4.4.2 KitKat build with L900VPUBNK2 as its firmware version will bring HD Voice Icon, it enabled ORNL, it patches various Google Security vulnerabilities such as SSL, TowelRoot and TrustZone. Beside these changes you will get bug fixes and a much more stable KitKat environment. The update will start to roll out in January 6th, 2015 for all the 100% stock Galaxy Note 2 devices.

This future firmware update won’t be released for any Note 2 models that are running custom ROMs. Also, remember that these types of updates will be rolled out in phases and if you’re owning a stock Sprint Galaxy Note 2 phone then you shouldn’t worry if the new OS notification doesn’t arrive on January the 6th.

Android 4.4.2 KitKat OTA Update was first launched for the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 in May 2014 and it was one of the biggest software changes that this device has seen since its release. Now it remains to be seen if Sprint and Samsung will upgrade it with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop firmware some time in 2015.
