Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (GT-l9305) Now Getting Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update Rollout

[dgstorm]

Despite the fact that the SGS4 is the predominant Samsung flagship currently, and we are already hearing rumors of the SGS5, there are still millions of users out there still sporting their trusty Samsung Galaxy SIII. For owners of the LTE (GT-l9305) version of that device, you will be pleased to know that the Android 4.3 Jelly bean update has started rolling out to that device. Even the the rollout has started, it will go out in batches so your particular device might not get it for a few days.

Also, keep in mind that if you are locked to a carrier, it will likely take even longer to get the carrier vetted update. Here's a quote with a makeshift changelog below,

•
