Samsung Galaxy Note 2 'Stable' Android 4.3 Jelly Bean with 20 New Features Goes Live in Canada and U.S. Cellular

Official Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 resumes from Canadian and the United States network carriers. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update include Galaxy Gear support, Premium Suite, Group Play 2.5, Group Messaging and Easy Mode features.

United States Carriers Push Update

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean firmware update is now rolling out for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in the United States and subscribers of U.S. Cellular are getting the newest software pretty quickly. Other network carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon are all scheduled to release their own push update for the phablet but they didn't exactly follow the schedule dates accordingly.

According to Android Pit, Verizon didn't release the Android 4.3 firmware to their Galaxy Note 2 owners on the expected scheduled date which left users to expand their patience longer. International variant of Galaxy Note 2 has been reported getting live update of the newest firmware and should be arriving in the United States by now.

Canadian Network Carriers

It seems like Canadian network carriers are quite polite as Android 4.3 live update is ongoing for their customers. Multiple carriers in the region already started sending push software update via Over-the-Air procedure which sizes up to 700 MB.
