Xiaomi Pad 7 Review
After the frustrating delay, the long wait of the Samsung Galaxy SIII users is now coming to an end. Samsung has finally started rolling out the much-awaited Android 4.3 update to the last year’s flagship.
The former Galaxy flagship gets the treat it deserves. Skipping the 4.2 update, the Galaxy S III is jumping right ahead to Android 4.3 “Jelly Bean” which brings some new features under-the-hood. Also, the latest version of Samsung’s proprietary TouchWiz is on board. That means you’ll get some Galaxy S4 and Note 3 features.
Here is the list of changes and improvements (by SamMobile):
– GALAXY GEAR Support
– TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)
– ANT+ Support
– Core UI elements updated to the ones on the Galaxy S4 (Galaxy S4?s theme all over)
– New Samsung Keyboard
– GPU drivers have been updated (Higher GPU benchmark scores)
– New Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message
– New Screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional Photo
– Daydream
– Driving mode
– Actionable notifications
– Move-to-SD-card feature
– New Camera mode : Sound and Shot
– New Additions in Notification Centre
– Completely revamped Settings UI (Tabbed interface – Exactly like the Galaxy S4)
– Implementation of Voice controls (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands – Galaxy S4 feature)
– New Samsung Apps: Calculator, Clock, Contacts, Gallery, Music
– Full screen Samsung apps
– New S-Voice (from Galaxy S4)
The update is currently rolling out first in Ireland. Other regions of course will follow including the Philippines. Keep in mind that the update is for the international Galaxy S III (GT-I9300).

From what I’ve heard, the S3 mini won’t be getting the 4.2/4.3 update because of TouchWiz issues.

Well, we really can’t ignore that Samsung is also doing well in terms of adding features.
But I have to agree with you on this one. LG is currently doing well in their products and innovation. Mostly focusing on providing their consumers a better smartphone “experience”.
luiz says:
yap. Samsung is really a good product but sometimes we have to try something new. Something that can trigger you mind like LG G2 :)
Lennie says:
Luiz I thin you’re right. Maybe it’s about time to try something new, something better, something like LG G2 :)

kim says:
exactly, nagtataka nga rin ako bat push sila ng push with lg g2 lol.

Yuri says:
If that so? maybe LG really has those great features. And what’s wrong about word of mouth? HAHAHA! Loser!
lala says:
hindi ba pwedeng ayaw lang nila ng Samsung and LG users talaga yang mga nag co-comment. opinion lang nila yan. #isipisipdin :)
prince says:
Lg sucks seriously note 2 kicked G2’s a$$

What more pa kaya ung note 3?
MIKE says:
I don’t think so! wait for LG’s Revenge! :p
silver says:
Hello! have you read abt the LG G2?! srsly note 2 is medieval compared to the new specs of the G2, nexus 5 and G-flex.
ven says:
Iisa lang ang nagpopost ng LG G2 na yan. Look at the smileys at way ng pagcocomment, pare-parehas lang.
Anyway, still waiting for the update. It’s taking too long to arrive. Nauna nag-announce ang Samsung kesa sa HTC sa update na ‘to, 2 weeks yata, pero nauna pa silang mag-update kesa satin, WTF, Samsung?
raindrops says:
tagal naman ng 4.3 update :/
samsung fanboy says:
I checked kanina and meron na update though hesitant ako to install it due to the articles I’ve read online regarding the numerous bugs sa updates released sa other regions. May nakapag install na ba and kumusta naman so far?
Danna Carissa says:
I have samsung galaxy i9035… and my current ios is 4.1 something.. am I already left behind??
john says:
i read in some reviews nexus has 4.4 kit kat OS already
Danna Carissa Calma says:
Will the update be applicable in s3 LTE? Cause I have the model i9305
dondhie says:
Samsung has finally started rolling out the much-awaited Android 4.3 update to the last year’s flagship.
—-great :)
ventocoseuss says:
Nakapag-update na ako. Hindi sya lumitaw sa auto-update, kailangan ko pang icheck sa Settings. Subukan nyo, baka available na sa inyo. Good luck sa update, guys!!
ryan says:
Hi Ventocoseuss. After mong nag update, may mga bugs ba or issues? thank you
samsung fanboy says:
Meron na ngang update! Sino na updated and so far kumusta? Ironed out na ba mga bugs? May significant changes?
Hindi siya lalabas sa auto-update, you have to manually check for software updates sa S3 or use Samsung Kies :)

UPDATE NA KAYO.
OFFICIAL FIRMWARE UPDATE!
meron na sa pinas.
solve na lahat ng issue.
magian51691 says:
I think the reason why the update for s3 took so long was because it was reported to had many issues. I had updated my s3 few days ago, so far, I had no serious problems experiencing. I’m still waiting if I’ll have battery problems (although I already had it even before). The only drawback is that my Toucher Pro is not working completely okay. Anyway, it’s no biggie.
chris says:
I Updated my GT-I9305 last week via OTA so far wala naman bug and It made my phone faster visual wise ang nag bago lang dito ay ung transparent notification panel, revamped UI (which looks like SGS4 and Note 3) and tons of new bloatwares from samsung the only thing that I like is the Knox
