One or two weeks. That was the deadline that SamMobile predicted a few days ago for the process of updating the Samsung Galaxy S4 to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean to begin. Within that period, the starting gun would be given so that the South Korean high-end would begin to receive what today is the most recent version of Google's operating system, and it has been. As we have learned through Unwired View, the LTE edition with Snapdragon 600 processor "" the international model "" has begun to notify users of the availability of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean installation package.

To do this, every time we get impatient, we just have to click on the "Update" command and the Samsung Galaxy S4 will check the firm's repositories to see if the Android 4.3 package is available. In case this is the case, we could start the process through the call via OTA ( Over the air ), a wireless method that downloads the update wirelessly and that it is advisable to carry out when we are connected to a Wi-Fi network. -Fi. We could also do it through Samsung Kies, the company's desktop platform and that attends the process as iTunes would with Apple devices.
