Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Release Date: After Asus Nexus 7 Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Will Carry New Android OS

The release of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean last July 25 came when Asus announced it’s new Nexus7 tablet. The gadget is the first tablet to ship with Android 4.3, the latest version of the popular mobile operating system, according to an Asus press release.

SamMobile is reporting that the much-awaited Samsung Galaxy Note 3 will be the next device that will carry the newest version of Jelly Bean. The famous phablet will come with the updated OS out of the box. The Samsung-focused tech site wrote in a tweet that the tech giant is testing Android 4.3 internally.

One of the much-awaited features of the brand-new Android 4.3 is restricted profiles; a function that allows parents to limit children’s access to mature content.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean also supports Bluetooth smart technology, opening the doors to mobile apps that connect to new devices like fitness sensors. The OS also comes with Google apps like Chrome, Maps, YouTube, Hangouts and Google Now. All the apps are designed for the cloud, making it simple and works seamlessly across multiple devices.

Future users of the devices with the Android 4.3 update will have access to Google Play, which enables them to download movies, apps, books and magazines.

According to the Christian Post, the new software will roll out to Nexus devices immediately with other best-selling handsets like Galaxy S4 and HTC One receiving the update later on.

Recently, the U.K. subsidiary of Samsung has confirmed that Samsung Galaxy S3 will not get the Android 4.2.2 update and will instead go straight to Android 4.3
