Android 4.3 update
Samsung Galaxy S3 owners around the world have been patiently waiting for a new Android update, and there's no good news in sight. Australian wireless carrier Telstra has confirmed that the Galaxy Note 2 on its network will not be receiving Android 4.2.2, lending credibility to the rumor that the Galaxy S3 won't either.
Google is set to launch a new iteration of its popular 7-inch budget tablet, the Nexus 7, but owners of the original Nexus 7 need not feel left out. If the stars align as they should, Android 4.3 should be landing on the tablet as early as July 24.
And it's official. Samsung will not, despite prior speculation to the contrary, be releasing Android 4.2.2 for the popular Galaxy Note 2 phablet.
Samsung Galaxy Note 2s worldwide have been waiting patiently for an Android 4.2.2 update, and while initial speculation centered on the fact that the phablet might not see the upgrade until November, a new report states that it might not see Android 4.2.2 ever.
It's been quite some time since Google has released a new version of Android, with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean rolling out last October. The wait should finally end, however, as Android 4.3 is expected to officially rear its head for the first time on Wednesday, July 24.
It seems that Android 4.3 has been spotted on every device but the one that's bound to receive it first. The soon-to-be released version of Android, however, has finally been seen running on a Nexus 4, and even better, it's available for download.
The Sony Xperia Z is still in the midst of receiving its dosage of Android 4.2.2 around the world, but one avid developer is already on the next page. That's right Xperia Z owners, there's an Android 4.3 ROM available for download.
Interested Samsung Galaxy S4 owners can now have one more thing to hold over rival HTC One fans: Android 4.3.
