[Q] Please explain, android updates, pushing topic

Hi all,

Firstly a thanks to everyone contributing to this website, i find it to be a most invaluable source of information.

I have perhaps a simple question, I want to know who pushes updates to my phone, note 3? I bought this online unlocked and when I had a look at the back behind the battery it is made in Vietnam. My phone is a SM-N900, Android 4.4.2, Baseband Version N900XXUENG1, Build Number KOT49H.N900XXUENH1.

I am looking forward to a android 4.4.4 update and then eventually lollipop.

I am confused as to whether Samsung pushes any updates directly to my phone or if it has to go through a carrier? However, my phone is not locked to any carrier although my sim is on a plan with Vodafone. Vodafone says they are testing a new update but when they released the 4.4.2 update my phone had updated prior to that and the update I have is different to the Vodafone update details, e.g. baseband version.

I hope I have included enough information to have my question answered. Sorry for the long post.

Thanks all!

:)
