If you're an owner of the Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone and you've been counting down the days to get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, you won't have to wait much longer.
Rumors and reports are circulating that Samsung will be delivering Android 4.1 for S3 owners in October. That's only about 20 days away.
Also, delays are likely to take even longer for international users and US S3 users with a carrier branded device.
Before reports claimed that Samsung was going to release the operating system in October, tech communities were expecting Jelly Bean to land for the smartphone in late August. Additional leaks then had users hoping the update would land this month. Exactly, why the upgrade launch date is slipping is unknown.
Samsung may be halting the release of Jelly Bean to prevent from being overshadowed by Apple as the iPhone company prepares to release their latest installment in their line of phones.
So far, we've seen the 4.1 update leak for the international quad-core version of the S3. We've also seen the update surface for the T-Mobile version of the smartphone. In both leaks, the upgrade appears to be complete and stable indicating the update was ready to ship.
The only good news is we're only a few weeks away from October now. Of course, there's no guarantee that these reports are correct, the operating system update could be further delayed or could land tomorrow for all we know. Without an official attributable statement by Samsung, we really just don't know.
