Galaxy Nexus and KitKat Now that Android 4.4 aka KitKat is out, I couldn't find out whether Samsung Galaxy Nexus will get the upgrade or not.

Does anyone have any information on this?

I hope it will get it, this why I bought Nexus device in the first place.
Nope, there will be no official support for Android 4.4 on the Galaxy Nexus. However, you will almost certainly be able to flash custom ROMs that are based on it.

There's some supposition and explanation going on on Android Police. They make a few good points:


The Galaxy Nexus is old and well outside normal support windows.
The CPU Manufacturer doesn't even make CPUs for phones anymore - official kernel support from them would be difficult or impossible.
Google's relationship with Samsung isn't what it used to be. (Supporting 4.4 on the GNex officially would require them to work together again to some degree.)
Google's relationship with Verizon has never been good. Supporting 4.4 on the GNex would also mean the necessity to support it on Verizon's GNex - something that I'm sure neither Google or Verizon would be excited about collaborating on.
