The latest Android 4.4.3 Kitkat OS update will arrive for the Samsung Galaxy S5 this month and will come to the Galaxy S4 in July.
Reports claimed that Samsung is already gearing up for the imminent roll out of the newest Android OS update to its own line of handsets. The speculations deepened as the update already headed to the Nexus devices particularly in India.

Earlier reports stated that Samsung expressed its desire to cut off its ties with Android OS. Rumors said that Samsung will adopt the new OS that they can have more control of, like Tizen OS. It is true that Samsung played an immense role in making Android more popular. However, the company has no control over the OS.
