It will be in October when Android 4.3 Jelly Bean begins to arrive on the Samsung Galaxy S4. This week the update for this version has begun to be rolled out on the HTC One, and although the gradual progress will take place over several weeks, there are already lucky ones who can access this edition of the Google platform from the Taiwanese flagship. To whet your appetite, the owners of the first sword presented by Samsung in March can get hold of an update that incorporates several improvements to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
The upgrade package that can be downloaded through the OTA ( Over the air ) system weighs 43 megabytes. The main purpose of this update is focused on providing greater stability to the system. In the same way, in terms of connectivity there are also samples of how the Samsung Galaxy S4 behaves somewhat better after downloading the package of improvements. In particular, the Wi-Fi sensor has apparently faster operation.
Among the first symptoms that show the installation of this update, a certain improvement in the fluidity when handling the different options of the system stands out, and as has been noticed among the first to install these implementations (in other countries the process was developed days ago), there is also a greater efficiency in energy consumption, so autonomy should be significantly prolonged compared to previous records.
In case we are a user of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and we have not yet received the notification that invites us to update, we would only have to follow the following route to force the verification. First we access the settings menu, and once inside, we select the fourth of the four tabs in the upper area, marked as «More». We then go to the lowest area of the screen and click on «About the device». At this time, we would only have to choose "Software update". The first of the three options that we will see then, "Update", makes the Samsung Galaxy S4 communicate with Samsung servers in search of the package of improvements.
If there is nothing within our reach, we will have to be patient, since this type of process usually unfolds gradually. And that as long as we have a unit of the Samsung Galaxy S4 in free format, since terminals with operator anchor can be delayed by the needs imposed by the firmwares of the different companies that market the device.
As we say, this update serves as a starter for the arrival of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, which is expected next October. The arrival of this version of the Google platform could precede with a minimum margin the presentation of Android 4.4 KitKat, a version that the Mountain Viewers have already anticipated but which is not yet official, in terms of all the news that this edition of the system.
