Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Next Update

Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 users are still looking after the official Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for their devices, but Samsung intends to push Android 4.3 Jelly Bean instead based on the information from two network carriers in Australia and Germany. The firmware will take some time, as the company is working on its own modifications such as apps and TouchWiz UI but is certain to arrive before 2013 ends.
