Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update Leaks Ahead of Release for AT&T Model

The Samsung Galaxy S3 Premium Suite with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean upgrade is around one month away from releasing, but that hasn't stopped insiders from leaking early builds to the public. AT&T Galaxy S3 owners will be pleased to know the latest build applies to their device, and offers them a sneak peek at what's to come.

The download comes courtesy of DesignGears, which posted Android 4.3 builds for a number of other AT&T Samsung devices as well, including the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 2. The usual warning labels apply, and f you haven't flashed an Android device before, it's best to wait for the official rollout. Interested parties can head over here to download the firmware.

According to SamMobile, the firmware contains the following changes:

"- Galaxy Gear Support
- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)
- ANT+ Support
- Samsung KNOX Implementation (KNOX bootloader and dedicated application)
- Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded
- Improved RAM management
- Improved Display colour reproduction (Display looks much sharper than before)
- Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)
- New Samsung Keyboard
- New Samsung Browser (Full screen by default, new tab interface and more)
- New Reading Mode (Optimizes display for reading, used by only a few specific applications)
- New Camera firmware
- Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)"

It won't be too long before AT&T rolls out the highly-anticipated Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. A recently-leaked Best Buy internal document reveals that AT&T will begin pushing out the update Nov. 13. Other carriers such as Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint will also release their Galaxy S3 updates around the same time.

Samsung recently announced that the upcoming round of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates for its devices will contain numerous changes, including some features from the recently-released Galaxy Note 3 and Samsung's KNOX security suite. The main reason for such an aggressive Android 4.3 update campaign, however, is simple: Android 4.3 contains Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, which is required for full connectivity with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
