Samsung confirms that Galaxy S3 and S3 Neo Lollipop Update is CANCELED

Earlier this year, So Far, Samsung has promised to release the Official Android 5.0 Lollipop updates to all its latest flagship devices... So far the Korean giant updated the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S5 variants to Lollipop 5.0.2 and preparing for the Lollipop 5.1.1 update.

Sadly, Samsung confirmed that the official Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) and Galaxy S3 Neo (GT-I9300i) has been permanently CANCELED. Both variants will not get any further updates (from 4.3 Jelly Bean - 4.4 KitKat).

@Arqam241 We don’t like to disappoint our customers, but we have had it confirmed that the S3 and S3 Neo will not receive Lollipop.

This decision was made because the device's support has ended as it was released in 2012 (3 years ago). In other hand, a 1 GB DDR2 Ram and an outdated Exynos 4 CPU is not good enough (in performance perspective) to run Lollipop smoothly which will affect the user experience.
