Sammobile is reporting it now too->Samsung to update the Galaxy Tab 2 until Android 4.2.2, testing on 1st Gen Galaxy Tabs | SamMobile
It's mainly an article on tablets but the bold red section says smartphones based on dual-core.
Here's another one to stir the pot. Good news for S3 owners.

If it's true, it's an arbitrary limitation placed on the update by Samsung, not an actual OS limitation. If it did come true that the US S3s won't be updated because of the processor, there would be a huge backlash from millions of angry US customers. That's a huge chunk of marketshare they could lose.
Besides, like other posters have said, the Nexus 10 is dual core and has to get KLP based on the Nexus label, and Samsung's reason for putting 2GB of RAM in the US versions was to future-proof the phone so it could receive updates for at least two years.
It's exactly the opposite of Samsung's best interest to stop the updates short of KLP. There's no way they would do it.
I would say less than 1% of phone owners come to phone forums. I would be willing to bet that close 99% of mobile phones users don't even know what Keylime Pie is and therefor don't care. We are not that high a priority to Samsung.
Hey, what brings you back?
Agree completely. My wife's LG isn't even on ICS, and she's perfectly happy with her phone as is. If I were to root it and update her she'd probably be mad because she'd have to learn a different way of doing things.
