The Galaxy Tab 3 is a fairly old Samsung device, but even it is next in line for an Android update: T-Mobile is now rolling out the Android 4.4.4 KitKat (T217TUVUBNL1) to the tablet, and it’s never (really super) late than never!

Other Tab 3’s from around the world have already been updated to KitKat, but as is the case with many US mobile providers, software updates usually come a lot later.  The update from T-Mobile is now coming over the air to devices, and if you are too feeling impatient to wait for that push notification, you can now check for the update in the settings of your device under About device.

What to look forward to? The Galaxy Tab 3 had been running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and can expect all the perks of Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Check out the T-Mobile changelog on more information about getting the update.
