Samsung Galaxy S Google Play edition was released now and there are some hard fact coming out with that. One of the biggest challenge will be, who will provide the future updates of the device. And also will Galaxy S4 Google play edition get the latest and greatest Android updates first just like Google Nexus devices. Neither Samsung or Google addressed the problem directly. But what it seems like Samsung is the one who will have to provide future updates for the Galaxy S4 play edition.
Anandtech in their review found out that the Android part is from Google but still the Kernel is from Samsung. So there is no doubt that Samsung has to provide updates. That means Galaxy S4 Google play edition will not get the latest Android as fast as the Nexus devices. But it will definitely get much earlier than th regular Samsung Galaxy S4 with TouchWiz.
