With the Nexus 4, 5, 7 and 10 having already received their updates, it is now the turn of other devices to receive theirs. A list was released containing the names of all the devices which are about to receive their nightlies soon enough. Among the phones included we can find the Samsung Galaxy S 3 (i9300) as well.Nightlies are expected to roll out any moment now so make sure you keep an eye out for your device. It should be mentioned that these are very new releases and there is always the chance of discovering certain issues unknown to the developers until then.Possible Android 4.4 updates for non flagship Samsung devicesAccording to an image posted by Sammobile, Samsung is seriously taking into consideration upgrading some of its mid-level and low-end devices with the newest version of Android, Android 4.4 KitKat. This probably comes as a result of Google's desire to make Android 4.4 available for everybody, regardless of their gadget. Some of its features are specifically targeted at this, such as reduced memory consumption on low-memory.The devices seen in the photo include the Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S3 mini, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy Ace 3, Galaxy Core, Galaxy Fame, Galaxy Ace 2, and the Galaxy Fresh.

It remains to be seen what course of action the Korean company will choose.Samsung Chromebook released in IndiaGoogle's Chromebook manufactured by Samsung has been released in India.
