Following recent Android 4.3 launches on the Galaxy S4, it seems it's the turn of Samsung's 2012 flagship to get the updated version of Google's OS. Reports from SamMobile suggest that the international 3G Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300) has begun receiving the update, starting with owners of the Vodafone Ireland branded version.
The update brings the Exynos-based GS3 to software version UGMJ9, which includes Android 4.3 and all its associated features, as well as Galaxy Gear support, ANT+ support, the apps-to-SD feature from the Galaxy S4 and Note 3, among other TouchWiz features. The Galaxy S3 skipped over Android 4.2, meaning there'll be a lot of new stuff to see for international GS3 owners, who'll be updating from Android 4.1.2.
If you're on Vodafone Ireland (with a carrier-branded device) you should be able to update over-the-air or through Samsung's Kies desktop software. As usual, other carriers and regions are expected to follow in the days and weeks ahead.
