There is no indication that the firmware is a final build, so it may include some bugs. SamMobile also reports a performance boost and increases benchmark results after the update. Several Android 4.4 KitKat-specific features are included, such as the white status bar icons, full emoji keyboard and wireless printing. The Android 4.4.2 build version I9505XXUFNAD, available for download for the GT-I9505 model of the Galaxy S4 specific to Europe, is fairly recent with a build date of Jan. Tech website SamMobile shared a test firmware build on Monday.

But the tech-savvy can get their hands on the latest test firmware right now. The official Android 4.4 KitKat update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 remains scarce at the moment, with only the Sprint Galaxy S4 and the Korean Galaxy S4 LTE-A receiving the OS at this point.
