According to this list, posted on Samsung's web site, the Galaxy Tab 3 will get a KitKat upgrade. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00059206&fm;_seq=82024You can indeed update it now, but to do so will require hackery. You could read about how to do that on www.xda-developers.com.If you're willing to wait for the official upgrade from Samsung, it should be a much easier process.

Hi Marilyn, Upon referring that same question to Google, I received more or less the same answer that Roger got.He is correct, saying that it is best to wait for Samsung to provide the update. John

yes it can be updated to 4.0. mine was already installed on the tablet. but try going to the settings menu then scroll down until you see about tablet. on the top of the about tablet it should say system updates click on that and see if it works.... hope this helped

I haven't tried it myself, but the tablet does run on the Android platform, so I think you can do this.

I was searching for the 4.4 KitKat version and apparently it came out in October, 2013. My Galaxy S III was apparently manufactured in 2012 so it does not include KitKat version although I think you can update the firmware and access it that way except that some of the "apps" may not be licensed for access. I like my Galaxy SIII and it fits my needs as I am not big on having too many app options but you might want to check out the KitKat version and see if that is something you want for an operating system.

android 4.2.2 came out for this tablet, so you can update it. I am using 4.2.2 now.

I believe it is 4.1 I have a Samsung 10.1 tablet that has 4.2 and there is really no big difference,as long as you have jellybean you are fine,next upgrade is kit Kat 4.4.

No, the update to the current operating system is free and should be KitKat 4.4.

Yes, you can access the Google Play store. My tablet came with KitKat version of Android.

The 4.3 update is not yet available for this tablet but Asus has confirmed it is on the way. When it does get the update, you will eventually get a prompt on the tablet that there is a system update ready for download. Once downloaded it will prompt you to initiate the update, which it will then do automatically without further input from the user.

No, Galaxy 3 Tab 8.0 only works with microSD or microSDXC up to 64GB. Full size SD card form will not fit.

sorry we do not have one for tab 3 8.0 at the moment. In half a month, there will be B00HRWBY6S and B00HRW9DSE then.

The latest firmware upgrade includes access to Google Play. Unfortunately not all applications will load properly and you get the "incompatible device message" on few apps. Hopefully, the next firmware update will take care of this but don't hold your breath as B&N; basically is getting out of android tablet business and turning over future development to third parties.

Really don,t know...get a Samsung tab 2 or 3 instead, they're cheap nowadays.

I could never get mine to update, honestly you might as well dish out the extra $50 and get a tablet that actually works...

4.4.2 is most recent update, but I do not recommend KitKat on this device. The Dell support site is flooded with complaints. Jelly Bean worked well.
