Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in Service Centres
A user from India was fortunate enough to get his Samsung Galaxy Note 2 updated to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS from a local Samsung service centre. Samsung apparently announced the new Android update and it is set to be rolled out starting in November 2013 which will be carried by network carriers as well with their own schedule of the push update.
According to Sam Mobile, the build number of the firmware is N7100XXUEMJ9 and dated back in October 31 which makes it the final build version of the update and scheduled for official roll out - unless certain bugs are found, new build may be released.
So far, changes and features are not certain from the new build firmware but it is expected to contain most things found in the Samsung Galaxy S3's Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update.
As of now, owners of the Galaxy Note 2 interested to get ahead of push update schedule should take a visit on the nearest Samsung service centre and possible a good time to ask about bugs, repairs and everything else about the phablet and its new firmware.
But for those busy users, expect the Firmware Over-the-Air update within this month or by December 2013 in your territory or check your network carrier for their schedule.
