I'm not referring to the HTC One which has already made the jump to version 4.3, but to the Galaxy line-up. Apparently, Samsung is working on bringing Android 4.3 on some of its more iconic devices in the "Galaxy" series. This includes the Galaxy S3, the S4, and of course, the Note 2. But, more to the point, we're here today to discuss about the Samsung Galaxy Mega Android 4.3 update, which could be released sometime soon. More details below. Samsung Galaxy Mega – Android 4.3 Update Enters Testing Phase According to the guys over at Sam Mobile, while Samsung is set to launch Android 4.3 on the Galaxy S3, S4 and Note 2, sometime within the October-December time-frame, the Korean manufacturer is also quite busy testing the Samsung Galaxy Mega Android 4.3 update.

Samsung Testing Android 4.3 for Galaxy S3, S4 and Note 2

On the day it makes a high end phablet Galaxy Note 3 (Note III) available, a device that is rolling out globally, there are reports that Samsung has embarked on testing the next major operating system software upgrade for a number of Galaxy devices notably S4, S4 and Note3 to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Samsung is said to be testing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean operating system and the question is when should the end user expect an official update?  Samsung has featured in the news lately, from its launch of galaxy Gear smartwatch alongside Galaxy Note 3 phablet to rumor of the company preparing to release a smartphone with a flexible screen this October.

Screenshots of a Galaxy S4 (non-Google Play edition) running Android 4.3 have already surfaced, indicating the build might be close to completion. Like Us on Facebook The screenshots don't reveal much about the new build except that the firmware version is XXUBMA8. For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S4 Android 4.2.2 build is labeled XXUBMF8. Other than that, expect the Android 4.3 software update to contain the standard improvements Google has built it. These new features include OpenGL 3.0 support, always-on Wi-Fi location detection, enhanced security options, and an increase in system performance.
