    Android 4.3 for Galaxy Note II available in service centers, over-the-air rollout to commence soon?

    Firmware

    The Android 4.3 update is scheduled to roll out for the Galaxy S3, Note II, and the Galaxy S4 in this month and the next, but while rollout has commenced for both the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 (at least in the US) already, the update for the Note II is nowhere in sight. But that could change quite soon – apparently, Samsung's service centers already have access to the update, and one user in India was lucky enough to get his Note II updated from a local service center.

    The build number of the firmware is N7100XXUEMJ9, while the build date is of October 31st, making us fairly certain that it's the final version of the update that will roll out officially. At this point, it's uncertain what the extent of changes and new features are in the update (we've asked for some screenshots and info from the one who sent us the confirmation, and will update this post when we get them), but expect to see mostly the same changes as those that arrived on the Galaxy S3, apart from a few new features from the Note 3 for use with the S Pen.

    Hang on Note II users, the excruciating year-long wait for your first major update could end very soon. In the meantime, heading to the nearest service center is sounds like a good idea, right?

    Update: More screenshots added.

    It's been a rather infuriating wait for Galaxy Note II owners when it comes to the Lollipop update. Being more than two years old, the Note II isn't really eligible for any more major software updates given how the support story goes in the Android world, but there was still some hope that Lollipop would […]
