I'm not sure if there's been any official statement yet, but I think the general expectation is that the Note 3 will get an update to Kit Kat. Wasn't there a push from Google a while ago to get manufacturers to support OS upgrades on their handsets for 18 months? I'd be pretty surprised if the Note 3, a brand new device, doesn't get Android 4.4, an OS released shortly after the device, at some point. But as still1 said, I wouldn't expect it any time soon. My experience with my old original Galaxy S phone was that it took around 9-10 months to get OS updates, if they came at all. Six months wouldn't be too bad compared to that, but I think other manufacturers were able to do 2-3 months in the past. I'm not sure why Samsung can't or won't do the same. But yeah, I think we'll get Kit Kat, after waiting most of a year from its release.
