Galaxy S3 Android 4.4 KitKat Update Available for Sprint
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.4 KitKat update is now available for Sprint users.
Those on the carrier should receive a notification to update the device soon. Users that don't get one can update manually from the Settings menu. Changes made to the handset should be similar to what KitKat brought to other smartphones such as the Galaxy S4.
The Galaxy S3 was released in 2012 and features pretty impressive specs for that time period. The device packs a 4.8-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels, an 8-megapixel rear camera, a quad-core Exynos processor, and 1GB RAM.
