Galaxy Note 3 is the First Samsung Android Device to Get Jelly Bean 4.3
It is likely that Samsung will release the Galaxy Note 3 with Jelly Bean 4.3 out of the box, provided reports proved true that the new Android sweets is served by Google in late July.
Reports are piling up that Google will finally push out, silently, the next Android edition and it will be another Jelly Bean for now. It appears that Key Lime Pie will have to wait a little longer before it hits the update pipeline,
Regardless of the Android make that will be released next month, Google's timely move will give Samsung enginners to work on reconfiguring the mobile OS for compatibility with Galaxy handsets. As in previous cases, the Asian tech giant prioritises new handset releases for firmware bumps with the flagships on the top of the list.
This system favours the Note 3, being Samsung's second flagship and one of the most anticipated handsets to come in the second half of 2013. The company would an to sustain the frenzied interest that the third-gen phablet has already spawned and shoring up hopes that it will be Jelly Bean 4.3-powered should prove a deft manoeuvre.
More so in realising it, which is not a remote possibility. On Sept 4, Samsung will reportedly stage an event and chances are it will be the tech giant's Episode 2 Unpacked that will showcase the Note 2 and other Galaxy devices.
Between July and the first week of Sept, Samsung has ample time to fuse the new Jelly Bean baby with its TouchWiz skin and deliver a powerful tool in the Note 3, which by then should oozing with the combined Premium Suite and Android software prowess.
Such mobile OS muscles will surely complement the purported Note 3 premium components, headlined by a quad-core CPU from Snapdragon or Exynos build, a 5.7-inich screen with Full HD Super AMOLED on 1080p resolution, 3GB of RAM, a 16MP cam shooter and the much-improved S-Pen stylus.
Samsung is pouring the best it can offer on the Galaxy Note 3 release date, analysts said, in order to regain the momentum that its first 2013 flagship, the Galaxy S4, seems to be losing in the past few months.
And having Jelly Bean 4.3 in the Note 2 is one surefire way for Samsung to start the recovery of the $US29 billion market value it lost recently, all because GS4 global sales is reportedly losing considerable traction.
