Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Update: Rollout For Jelly Bean Update Expected November, Leaked Build Makes Available OS Now

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 update: According to SamMobile, the official rollout for the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean will be this November, although the most of the news is centered on the OS’s update being available to the Samsung Galaxy S4, it is expected that it will also be accessible to Samsung Galaxy Note 2 owners.

In fact, according to a report by Android Origin, a pre-release build is available that could be tested for the “brave ones amongst” the device’s owners.

The test build is codenamed N7100XXUEMI6 and it works with the GT-N71000 model of Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Android Origin noted that it’s a fairly easy build and is probably unstable at the moment.

The test build was originally leaked at the Tinhe forums before it was made available on the XDA a few days ago. Android Origin wrote that the update is relatively substantial and features many of the UI elements that are only available and can be found on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

The update also has speed and performance enhancements and features Samsung’s Knox security software and Samsung Wallet for payments. Like with test firmware, the build is unverified and unstable it’s always a possibility that Samsung Galaxy Note 2 could break if you update using this build.

Aside from the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, other devices that Samsung promised to give the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update includes the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
