Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update Nears: Samsung Announces Galaxy S4, S3, Note 2 ‘Premium Suite’ Software Includes OS And Galaxy Gear Support

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update Nears: Samsung Announces Galaxy S4, S3, Note 2 ‘Premium Suite’ Software Includes OS And Galaxy Gear Support

[Update 10/25 2:00PM] Samsung has updated the Verizon Galaxy S4 changelog on its website, indicating that the Premium Suite software with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean will soon begin rolling out, likely sometime Monday.

Samsung has confirmed that various Galaxy devices will begin seeing the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update very soon.

Last week, Samsung released a press statement detailing its plans for the Android 4.3 update for several handsets including the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, and Galaxy Gear support for handsets including the Galaxy S4 mini, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy Mega 5.8 and Galaxy Mega 6.3. Soon after, an Android 4.3 and Galaxy Gear update time table leaked, suggesting that Android 4.3 would begin rolling out on U.S. Galaxy models, starting with the Verizon Galaxy S4 on Monday. Now Samsung has released a new statement, essentially confirming the update schedule.

Leaked documents apparently indicated Samsung's plans to update devices to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean to make them compatible with the Galaxy Gear smart watch.

Samsung’s press statement details that U.S. models of the Samsung Galaxy S4, Galax S3 and Galaxy Note 2 will receive a Premium Suite software update, which includes Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, Galaxy Gear support and Samsung KNOX security, among many other features. Noting that rollout schedules may vary by carrier and devices, Samsung says updates will in fact begin Monday; however, it does not indicate which carriers will soon update.

Currently the GT-I9505 and GT-I9500 international models, as well as foreign regional models of the Samsung Galaxy S4 have updated to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean in select countries. If the leaked timetable is an accurate indicator, the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 will be updated to Android 4.3 on four major carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile -- by the end of the year.

Samsung GALAXY Round vs. LG G Flex

Samsung GALAXY Round vs. LG G Flex

Nun sind sie also endlich beide offiziell. Während Samsung sein GALAXY Round bereits vor ein paar Tagen offiziell vorstellte, sind gestern die Südkoreaner von LG nachgezogen und haben ihrerseits ihr LG G Flex offiziell vorgestellt. Bei beiden Modellen handelt es sich um die ersten Smartphones mit einem gebogenen Display. Doch Samsung und LG gehen die Sache unterschiedlich an und biegen ihr Display anders.

Das Samsung GALAXY Round war das erste Smartphone mit einem gebogenen Display. Das Modell ist im wesentlichen ein leicht modifiziertes Samsung GALAXY Note 3, bei dem der Akku bauartbedingt etwas kleiner ausfällt und der S-Pen weggelassen wurde. Ansonsten entsprechenden die technischen Daten des Samsung GALAXY Round dem des auf der IFA 2013 vorgestellten Note 3. Und auch das LG G Flex hat einen berühmten Vorfahren, dass LG G2. Auch hier ist die Ähnlichkeit sehr auffallend.

Doch kommen wir nun zum Vergleich des Samsung GALAXY Round mit dem LG G Flex. Während das Samsung ein horizontal konkav gebogenes 5,7'' FullHD-Display besitzt, muss sich das LG G Flex mit einem vertikal gebogenen 6'' HD-Display zufrieden geben. Hier scheint Samsung bei der Entwicklung schon ein wenig weiter zu sein. Im inneren beider Smartphones schlägt der Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, beim Samsung GALAXY Round von 3GB unterstützt, beim LG G Flex sind es "nur" 2GB.

Dafür punktet das LG G Flex mit einem wahrscheinlich ebenfalls leicht gebogenem 3.500mAh Akku., hier muss sich das Samsung GALAXY Round mit einem 2.800mAh Akku zufrieden geben. Beim Samsung GALAXY Round kommt Android 4.3 zum Einsatz, beim LG G Flex vermutlich noch Android 4.2.2. Das Samsung Smartphone wird als Prototyp in geringer Stückzahl nur in Südkorea erhältlich sein, beim LG G Flex nimmt man an, dass es einen weltweiten Marktstart geben könnte.
