Verizon’s Galaxy Note 3 gets incremental update to Android 4.4.4

Verizon is pushing out an update to its variant of the Galaxy Note 3, and while it’s not Lollipop, it does bump up the Android version slightly to 4.4.4. Plus, there a handful of fixes and improvements on the device, so it’s a worthwhile update.

In addition to the improvements from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4, you’ll also get a handful of tweaks on Verizon’s end, including changing Isis Wallet to Softcard, plus updates to Verizon Support and Protection and Caller Name ID. As far as apps go, you can expect Knox 2.0 to be on board, plus Find My Mobile, Samsung’s Kids Mode, and the Virtual Camera Tour feature. If you use Samsung Side Sync with a newer tablet or PC, you’ll also finally be able to take advantage of call forwarding with this update.

As far as under the hood stuff goes, Verizon claims to have improved Bluetooth and data connectivity, as well as SMS and VPN issues. Pretty standard as far as incremental updates go.

Lollipop shouldn’t be too far away for the Note 3, but in the meantime, you’ll probably want to grab this update.
