Rumours that started floating a few days about Samsung skipping android 4.2.2 update for Note 2 ago have been confirmed by Telstra. As per latest info by Australian carrier Telstra, "Samsung have elected globally to skip the 4.2.2 update for this device and will instead go to a newer version of Android. No schedule has been provided for this update."
This news talks of a newer update but doesn't mention whether it is talking about 4.3 or 5 and the biggest deal-breaker is that there seems to be no schedule for update promised for this device.
Customers have been waiting for a long time for this 4.2.2. Delays kept creeping up and now this particular update has been skipped. This shows how serious Samsung is about older flagship devices. Note 3 has brought incredible sales figures for Samsung and is an example of this giant MNC trying to save its latest flagship (S4) by making its previous flagships less desirable.
The thing to note is that this piece of news does not come directly from Samsung (not ready to face the flak of customers). So this is not to be considered as official statement but carriers always seem to have first hand information.
