In October and November, Samsung started rolling out the Galaxy S4 Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates. And while many of Those updates have rolled out, there are still some major updates thathave yet to emerge, even as Android 4.4 KitKat update rumors continue to swirl. Here, we break down the current Samsung Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update situation.
Back in April, the Samsung Galaxy S4 hit shelves with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on board. At the time, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean was Google’s most current version of Android. Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 owners figured They would be next in line to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It did not turn out That Way. Instead, Samsung skipped Android 4.2 Jelly Bean in Favor of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean was Announced in July, just weeks after the arrival of the Galaxy S4. And while it rolled out to Nexus devices in July, it did not start hitting Samsung smartphones until late 2013, somethingthat rumors accurately predicted months prior to the official announcements.
In October, Samsung confirmed the Galaxy S4 Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates. A few days later, the Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update rolled out. In November, the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 updates started rolling out and since then, carriers have been pushing out updates to Their Highest.
As expected, the Android 4.3 updates are much more than Android 4.3. They bring the Galaxy S4 software features to the Galaxy S3 And they overpriced bring the Galaxy Note 3′s brand new Multi-Window View to the Galaxy Note 2nd
We’re now in 2014 and the Galaxy S4 Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates are still rolling out. We’ve been tracking what’s left of These updates and here, we’ll take at look at Samsung’s progression as These rollouts wind down.
Samsung Galaxy S4
The Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean roll out has wound down in the United States but That does meansthat the roll out is completely done. Updates continue to emerge for carriers around the world, most recently in Venezuela and one Australian carrier Telstra, the latters Of which just saw the update’ve become available through Samsung Kies.
Telstra was one of the few major carriers left That had not updated the Galaxy S4 with Android 4.3 so it’s pretty clear That the Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update is extremely close to completion. Those who have yet to see the update Should see it emerge in the near future.
French carrier SFR has saidthat it will roll out the Galaxy S4 Android 4.4 KitKat update in late January or early February and it would be extremely odd to see the Android 4.3 roll out collide with Android 4.4 KitKat.
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung’s Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update roll-out Continues as well, weeks after the roll out finished up in the United States. The update, most recently, hit carriers in Singapore and it’s scheduled to land for the Galaxy S3 LTE on French carrier SFR sometime this month after a slight delay.
Australian carrier Telstra remains one of the last major carriers without a Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update and the carrier is still not sure When The update will be deployed. Recently, the carrier pushed out an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update right as some Galaxy S3 variants were receiving Android 4.3. It’s still not clear if the company will follow suit.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 update, Which starting rolling out load, remains active and there are still Several major updates Remaining in action. The update recently landed for the 3G version of SFR’s Galaxy Note 2 and overpriced’ve Heard That it hit Taiwan within the last couple of days as well.
Still, there are two major updates missing. French carrier SFR still doing now? Rolled out its Galaxy Note 2 LTE Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update though it claims That the update Should country sometime this month. Galaxy Note 2 customers on the Australian carrier Telstra are in even worse shape it seems thanks to an Unforeseen delay.
The carrier originally promised to roll out the update by December 23rd, though, thanks to user complaints, we know thatthis doing now? happened. The carrier has apologized and says That it’s working to figure out the source of the delay. It has not, however, provided any kind of timeframe for its users.
