The update has been slowly rolling out and there will be plenty of Samsung Galaxy S5 users hoping it makes its way to their devices soon. The promising news today is that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Android 4.4.4 update is now in carrier testing, so it shouldn’t be too much longer.
The US carrier Sprint version of the Galaxy S5 has appeared on the company’s website wearing 4.4.4 KitKat, meaning that testing for the update is underway. These kinds of updates usually arrive at different times depending on region and individual carriers. However, taking into account that carrier versions of updates usually arrive after the update appears for the international version, this is a good sign.

Of course, it’s worth pointing out that some owners will be more concerned about the impending Android L launch, and will be wondering just how long it will take to receive that update. The next major update for the operating system is currently in the hands of developers and heading for a fall release.
