A report from Samsung-centric blog, SamMobile, posted Tuesday morning discusses the potential of a “handful of Galaxy series smartphones” being rumored to see the Android 5.0 update. Dubbed ‘Key Lime Pie,’ Google is expected to announce their newest, post-Jelly Bean Android operating system at their next I/O event.
The “insider pre-list” puts five Samsung devices in the ‘to be updated to Key Lime Pie’ category: the Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4, Note II, Note 8.0 and Note 10.1 were the only ones mentioned that may see Android 5.0.
Also, the list states that Samsung will be updating the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, though ceasing further OS updates for those devices afterwards. As Google will most likely roll out their new phones, Samsung is expected to hold off for a bit longer.
Good news for average Samsung customers: “plenty of MID-range Android devices of 2012/2013 will also receive a value pack update.”
Below is the insider list, as posted by the reliable tech-rumor blog, SamMobile:
