After a long wait, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update has finally started rolling out. The rollout only applies to a few selected Galaxy Note 2 users at this point, with the rest of the updates more likely to rollout in the next few weeks. Now that the roll out has started, Galaxy Note 2 users need to know the following important things about the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update below:

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 rollout par for the course, turning out exactly how it was expected. Samsung starts rolling out with one variant in one region; soon, the update spreads to another device, and another, then it goes to different places. On Nov. 20, two devices and two regions got the updated as opposed to one. Is this a sign that Samsung now tries to speed things up? The Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 now receives the software in India as the Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7105 (LTE model) sees the update in Nordic countries. The staggered approach is expected and Galaxy Note 2 owners should be patient.

For some, there can be two installation methods. Like Galaxy S3's Android 4.3 Jelly Bean roll out, this update for Galaxy Note 2 is also available over OTA and Samsung Kies. This is important because it means there's a good chance that at least some Galaxy Note 2 owners can cut down the long wait for Over-the-Air updates and manually install with Samsung's Kies software but there's still no guarantee that carriers will offer the update through Samsung Kies.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 users who are interested in the Android 4.3 update must proceed with caution. There have been issues that reportedly halted the updates for Galaxy S3 owners in the UK and Galaxy S4 owners on AT&T. Issues and bugs can be the reason why other carriers delay its Android 4.3 rollout. While it may be tempting to update and install the software immediately when it becomes available, it could be better to sit back and wait for user feedback. It's normal to hear poor feedback early on, and it could be worthwhile staying on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for a bit longer, until feedback becomes positive and installing the software becomes safe. Keep Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 issues and feedbacks in mind as the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 roll out still progresses.
