Hello all, longtime lurker here ;)

Wondering what the consensus is on the Kitkat 4.4.2 upgrade for the i9505. I'm currently on 4.2.2 due to generally neutral to negative reviews of 4.3.

I have read the changes and new features and they all seem nice, but I do have 2 major questions for people who have moved from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2;

a) I understand 4.3 was a little slower than 4.2.2 although not as gamebreaking as the Jellybean 4.1.2 and 4.3 for the SIII (GT-i9300) - How does Kitkat feel vs Jellybean 4.2.2?

b) Battery life appears to be better or equal to 4.2.2 - is this correct?

c) I've come across this article here at TH. Has anyone really felt this during gaming or is this restricted to benchmarks only?

d) Upgrade? or stay with 4.2?

Thanks!
