Samsung Galaxy S3
It wasn't too long ago that Samsung announced that it's 2012 flagship phone, the Galaxy S3, wouldn't be receiving Android 4.2.2 and would instead get Android 4.3 in October. Well, it looks like Samsung is going to be living up to its words as another Galaxy S3 has been spotted in the wild running Android 4.3.
It seems like it's been ages since Samsung last rolled out an Android update for its 2012 flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3, but the wait is finally almost over. The South Korean electronics giant is expected to release Android 4.3 for the handset in October.
Finally, the moment that Samsung Galaxy S3 have hoped for, and feared might never come: Samsung plans on rolling out the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to Samsung Galaxy S3 handsets in October, according to Android Authority.
More mid-tier Samsung Galaxy devices are getting the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update, as the former flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S3, gets skipped for the update again. This time, it's the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 WiFi variant in the United Kingdom receiving the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update from Samsung.
Once again, owners of the Samsung Galaxy S3 have two choices: you can either feel even more slighted by the South Korean phone manufacturer, or you can become ever more hopeful about the possibility that their Galaxy S3s will be upgraded straight to Android 4.3. It's up to you.
The saga of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android update continues. This time, a German wireless company has told their customers that the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be updated to Android 4.3, skipping the Android 4.2.2 update.
Now that a lot of non-flagship devices have received Android 4.2.2, can we expect the Galaxy S3 to soon get a small update? Or does the mid-tier rollout further bolster rumors that Android 4.3 will be the next Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S3?
Samsung's third-generation Galaxy smartphone has narrowly scored the highest marks in customers satisfaction in the U.S., based on a new survey.
Adding to the confusion and disarray of the possible Android 4.2.2 or Android 4.3 updates for the Samsung Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note 2, Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus owners in Germany are now receiving the Android 4.2.2 update.
There's no good news yet for people that want the Android 4.3, or even the Android 4.2.2 update for their Samsung Galaxy S3, but AT&T has announced that the Android 4.1.2 Premium Suite is rolling out for their customers.
With the release of Android 4.3, manufacturers have been scrambling to deal with consumers asking "When will we get it?" Some, like Sony, have given concrete answers, while others like Samsung have simply sidestepped the question, creating more frustration.
Google announced Android 4.3 Wednesday, and the reveal has many OEMs scrambling to keep their lineups fresh and updated. While Sony has come out with an official statement regarding which devices will get Android 4.3, rival smartphone manufacturer Samsung has only sidestepped the question.
The folks from Windows Phone have released a behind-the-scenes video of their features comparison video featuring the Lumia 928, Apple's iPhone 5, and the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Recent developments have indicated that Samsung might simply skip Android 4.2.2 for the Galaxy S2 and release Android 4.3, and there's now palpable proof that may turn out to be true: a Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3 has been spotted.
Samsung Galaxy S3 owners around the world have been patiently waiting for a new Android update, and there's no good news in sight. Australian wireless carrier Telstra has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 2 on its network will not be receiving Android 4.2.2, lending credibility to the rumor that the Galaxy S3 won't either.
