Millions of Galaxy S3 owners were understandably upset when their handset was absent from a recent list of Samsung devices set to get a KitKat upgrade — but it seems there’s still hope for the two-year-old handset.

HTC-Windows-Phone

Microsoft has reportedly made its Windows Phone operating system free to select handset manufacturers in an effort to gain ground on Android and iOS.

Both Xolo and Karbonn — two smartphone makers based in India — recently signed deals with Microsoft that will allow them to launch Windows Phone devices free from license fees, according to sources speaking to The Times of India.
