Samsung Galaxy S III Rumored To Get Jelly Bean Update In Q4?

Google’s upcoming Jelly Bean for Android devices looks to be the most anticipated and complete Android OS to date. While we know that the Google-branded developer devices such as the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Motorola Xoom are all set to get first dibs of the OS update sometime this month, owners of other devices are left to twiddle their thumbs and play the waiting game. In keeping with Google’s newly unveiled PDK for manufacturers and developers, it was only a matter of time before we got news of when other devices will be expected to receive the coveted update. According to the Eastern Morning Herald, the Samsung Galaxy S III is possibly due to receive the Jelly Bean update sometime in Q4. If the rumors are indeed true, then the Galaxy S III will be among the first devices to feature Jelly Bean— albeit covered in TouchWiz no less.

Keep in mind that this is most likely pure speculation and there has been nay a whisper from Samsung directly, but hey— it’s certainly not farfetched to say that one of the most popular devices in the world should and will be among the first devices to feature Jelly Bean as its feature OS. After all, the device seems like it”s only destined to indulge itself in all that Project Butter buttery goodness, right?

    That’s good news because it will mean that we will also see non-TouchWiz ROMs for SGIII soon as well.

    It better be soon. Jellybean has some good improvements. Would be dumb for Samsung to not jump on it ASAP. Course they going to take their time to make it work with their bloat wares, hence slowing the release to 4th quarter. But by then, the new iPhone will be coming out. Samsung likely will use Jellybean to bring some life into S3 and the new Note 2, saying how it can compete with the new iPhone. Probably, will get a stable and good working version from dev before then.

    Samsung needs at least 5-6 months to heavily modify JB because the stock JB isn’t very good. If we released it 3 weeks after Google did…. we would sell WAY too many phones.
