Samsung has set their deadlines for updating the current crop of Galaxy devices to Android 4.3, and so far we've already seen the Galaxy S III and the Galaxy S 4 already receiving the update. There's just one device that hasn't gotten any attention; the Galaxy Note II.
According to a lucky user in India, he managed to get his Note II updated to 4.3 at a local service station. This means that Samsung is busy loading the 4.3 update onto their services to prepare for an OTA rollout, which means international and unlocked users should see the update by the end of the month. On the carrier side of things, that also means that it's very like that most carriers should hit their deadlines by the end of the month. AT&T and Sprint are slated for a November 20th rollout, with Verizon following on the 29th and T-Mobile right on their heels with a December 2nd update.
The update should bring a few extra features to the Note II, similar to what we've seen in the SIII update. Since it does have the S-Pen also, we may see a few features trickle down from the Note 3 as well.

How does Samsung believes it can compete withh Apple if sw ipdate roll out at thisbpathetic pace
Ummm Samsung is not only competing with Apple, but wiping the floor with them! Check the sales numbers for yourself
Shame on Samsung for waiting so long on last year’s flagship product!
Nowadays the firmware updates are not critical and don’t bring life changing features. The devices are working fine without any updates, and for the average users it does not really matter if you have android 4.1 or 4.4 with a few extra ways to open the notification tab.
Tech companies large and small have long been trying to use smartphones to connect consumers’ online activity to what they do in “real” life.
