Samsung has reportedly started rolling out the Android 4.4.2 KitKat
update to the international variant of the Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100)
phablet.
The roll-out is said to have begun on Friday in France,
and will gradually roll-out to other regions and carrier-specific
models.
The Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for the Samsung Galaxy
Note II is said to
bring several new features, like full screen album art; option to bring
camera shortcut on the lock screen; transparent status bar; wireless
printing functionality; NFC tap-to-pay support; option to set default
messaging and launcher apps, and is also set to revamp the overall
response time and speed of the phablet.
Users would be also
receiving some Samsung goodies
like the latest Samsung Knox and Samsung Wallet seen in the latest
Samsung's TouchWiz UI. The KitKat firmware for the Galaxy Note II was
first spotted by Sammobile
on Samsung's Kies PC suite software, though GSMArena says it is
also available to download over-the-air (OTA).
The Samsung Galaxy
Note II phablet was launched with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS
in August 2012. Some of the key features of the phablet are its
5.5-inch Super AMOLED HD display, 1.6GHz quad-core CPU and 2GB of RAM.
