Galaxy S 4 - Android 4.3 leaked

All the android enthusiasts out there have been patiently waiting for the new version of android which is speculated to be called Key Lime Pie, weeks before the Google IO 2013. At first there was a whole lot of confusion about what version number Google would adopt, 4.3 or 5.0. These numbers could be crucial as the higher the number the more major the changes. But sadly, there was no new version of android that was released. However there were traces of android 4.3 showing up on Google servers which later disappeared.

Now for some good news which seems a lot good at first but might get you disappointed. A version of android 4.3 firmware has been leaked by SamMobile which was a alleged test build for GT-I9505 which is a version of Samsung Galaxy S4. A review video with the build number of JWR66N.S005.130625 shows that android 4.3 is extremely similar to the new Jelly Bean or the android 4.2.2. Take a look at the video below but I would say its a waste of time as there is nothing visibly different. The only unofficial change log states that android 4.3 has improvements in Bluetooth.



Disappointing however, it is good to know android 4.3 is lurking around the corner and hopefully there would be more features added to the android arsenal.
