Good News to Samsung users. According to the recent reports, Samsung is now currently testing the latest Android KitKat build 4.4.3 on two of its latest flagship devices to bring the update to its Galaxy line-up.

The recent leaked internal update status report shows that Samsung is in the process of integrating KitKat 4.4.3 with Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S4. However, other midrange and budget Samsung models like the Galaxy S3 LTE and Galaxy S4 mini are just about ready for prime time.

Android 4.4.3 Update features indicate that it's dominated mainly by bug fixes and optimizations, so don't expect any redesigned interface or new apps. Expect it to hit your device very soon.
