According to a leaked road map that popped up online shows that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be getting the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean software this month. Shortly after the road map showed up, a test build for the exact update leaked on the document has been made public. Even though the test build is not the final version according to some it looks and feels like it is very close. Any new features and enhancements are not included in the test software, but if you download it you should get a good idea of what you are in for.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $139.
Those that have the Galaxy S4 have been waiting patiently for the update, but have yet to hear directly from Samsung about the software. The expectation is that Samsung will get the update out to the public within the next couple weeks. According to one source, the upcoming software is going to be most identical to the test build that leaked this week, minus the bug fixes and minor enhancements. The build number I9505XXUEMJ3 and is said to be the final version before the official version gets released soon.
This update is for the unlocked version of the Galaxy S4 over in Europe and is ready for download for those that have experience manually downloading software to their smartphones. Remember that if something goes wrong during this process you could “brick” your device and that would easily void any warranty that you have. According to Twitter, the update is coming very soon, so it might be better to just wait until then to get the official version. Some of the new features include Samsung Wallet, Samsung KNOX security, better color reproduction and sharper text on the screen.
Just by doing a quick search, you are able to find a few videos that users have made with the new software installed on their devices. That way you can see what features are in store with the official version, but you do not have to take the risk in downloading and installing them yourself. Other online sources have published the updated software leak information as well, so that is adding credibility to the fact that the update should be coming at any time. Android 4.4 KitKat is also supposed to be released any day now and it is very likely that the Galaxy S4 will get that update as well.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist can be purchased at a discounted price tag now starting at $139.
