Samsung Galaxy S3 Update: Uproar After News That Android 4.3 Update May Not Arrive Anytime Soon, ‘Won’t Be Getting A Samsung Phone Ever’ Says User

Samsung Galaxy S3 update, or it being constantly delayed, seems to be a driving force for many of its current owners to consider getting a new device from another manufacturer. The recent round of news regarding the possible delay of the Android 4.3 update, after the highly expected Android 4.2.2 being canceled has caused uproar from users.

An article we posted about the Samsung Galaxy S3 update has received vehement comments from users, with one commenter saying that he will not be “getting a samsung phone ever again.”

Other users responded by saying that their next device will be a Sony phone or an iPhone.

One user named Nitin shared that Samsung is always in a habit of “releasing a new handset with new Android version and then update its other handsets which is always time consuming and frustrating for present customers.”

Some Samsung Galaxy S3 users have blamed the slow sales of the S4 has reason for constant delays.

In our last KpopStarz article, we reported that in a review of Android 4.3 for various phones, Gotta Be Mobile said that if in case the Android 4.3 roll out happens, U.S. carriers are expected to not issue a major update until early 2014. Although no specific month has been identified, the gradual roll out for the Android 4.3 according to Gotta Be Mobile is rumored to arrive November this year, with an official release next year.

Know Your Mobile reported that a spokesperson from Samsung U.K. said that the company “will confirm upgrade plans to Android 4.3 to selected Galaxy devices in the coming months.”

The International Business Times on Tuesday reported that the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for older Samsung devices maybe in jeopardy. The news site showed that one of the major clues for the arrival of the update has been removed by its source.

Australian carrier Telstra, who earlier announced that the Android 4.2.2 for Galaxy Note 2 (a batch mate of the S3 handset in terms of release schedule), had been “withdrawn” to give way for a new version has remove the detail from its support page.

The Business Times said that many believed this could be an indication that the Galaxy Note 2, and therefore similar Samsung devices in that category like the S3, potential update to get Android 4.3 might be canceled.

The recent roll-out of Android 4.2.2 to lesser known devices has given many Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2 users hope that their update is on its way But the latest from Samsung officials and affiliates in both the U.K. and Germany is that the S3 will skip the Android 4.2.2 update and go straight to the Android 4.3

A few months ago, the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update was very much expected and there have been leaks of the features. Many S3 users were expecting that they were getting the update only to be disappointed that less famous handsets get the recent software upgrade while they’re stuck with an older version.
