Will this phone ever get the Kit Kat or Lollipop? Have you found any custom roms to compensate?

At this point I have no hope of this phone EVER getting an update. Blu has been promising Kit Kat since almost a year ago and so far: NOTHING. Anytime I contact them about this they send a cut-and-paste response with the list of devices that do have upgrades available.

If your referring to another launcher so you can customize the phone more yes. Many people use Nova Launcher. I used the Next Launcher but I believe the Play Store sells it for $15.

Unfortunately it appears unlikely that BLU has any desire to live up to their commitment. It will most likely not be getting it.

There aren't any Roms available for it. So currently no its not upgradeable. Doubtful that Samsung will update this to jellybean either

ASUS has not provided an update, and it doesn't appear that they will. Some people have had success with custom ROMs that are available on developer sites.

Yes it should come upgraded with it. In my case it did not, but two weeks after having it the upgrade was sent to my vivio iv ad a pop up message. All you have to do its make sure it's connected to WiFi and accept the upgrade. If you want to ignore the pop up is you missed it don't worry it will be in the settings under about phone. Now my phone is android kit kat 4.4, hope it helps

Yes, it does support upgrades as I did download the upgrade to 4.3. I cannot answer about kitkat.

I bought the Nexus 10 on July 2013, and it came with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Now my Nexus 10 have Android 4.4.2 KitKat and the OS is great.

That really sucks. This really looks like a fantastic piece of kit. Not having MMS is putting a serious dent in my desire for this device. =/

Don't get this phone, trust me, it isn't worth the hassle. Email me brighamray55@gmail.com for further questions. First off, the phone may or may not work when it gets to your house. Mine did but it has a dead pixel in the corner that really bugs me. The os is smooth, until you try to run most applications. The MTK soc is poorly optimized by developers, which means most games will not run smoothly. They said the device will get kit Kat, in May, still doesnt have it. Customer support is awful, good luck getting anywhere with them. The camera sucks really bad, most pictures don't turn out. Conclusion, buy the motto g 2nd gen, that phone is guranteed android L which will double its battery life. That phone actually possesses a camera that can shoot and contains an soc highly supported by developers so most everything on Google play runs amazing. Trust me when I say, get the moto g.

It ships with 4.4 but was just updated to 5.1 Lollipop. Runs awesome except the FM radio in mine stopped working. Runs smooth.

What vendor did you get yours from, by the way? And did Samsung tell you anything worthwhile?

The only dfference, other than size, is kitkat vs. Jelly bean.Apps are the same, just optimized for kitkat. So the answer is no.

Thanks for the interest. We no longer offer this model, discontinued. Instead you can buy the Moto X or Moto G which are latest phones. Thank you. KICKmobiles

Yes if you root it and install a custom ROM but....it is choppy and runs really really slow.terribly so...wouldn't do it. Along with that, more things would NOT work on the phone than DO.

Yes! Mine is running KitKat 4.4.4 right now, and Android L (4.5 or 5.0) should be out for the Nexus 10 either by the end of the month at the earliest or the end of the year at the latest.
