In  the past few weeks Samsung Galxay S3 Android 4.3 update was started but had issues with it therefore it was temporarily stopped .And before that Samsung said they will be skipping Android 4.2.2 update and will be directly updated to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The South Korean electronics giant and the leader in the Smartphone Industry  released the Android 4.3 update for Galaxy S3 right on time, but only to be halted later because of performance issues.

Samsung Galaxy S3 started receiving the Android 4.3 update during the first week of November in parts of Europe, but eventually during the middle of the month, Samsung pulled out the update citing performance issue reasons. Some of the issues that were faced by users included - Wake up lag, Random Freezing, Huge battery drain, Bluetooth Audio issues during playback in car, Stuttering music playback with stock Samsung music app, Device freezes as soon a call is received (Black screen issue), Poor RAM management, Wi-Fi issues and many many more.

 Now that the company has reworked on the update and the issues have been completely solved. The new firmware update has the build number I9300XXUGMK6 and is said to be built on the 28 of November. The new update includes updated GPU drivers and also an updated Samsung's QWERTY virtual keyboard. There will be an overhaul of the UI including a new lock screen, updated S-Voice and more features that will be quiet similar to the ones seen on the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3.

Finally, after a couple of weeks, Samsung seems to have solved the bugs in Android 4.3 firmware for Samsung Galaxy S3 as it has started seeding the update for International version (I9300) in parts of Europe. The update is expected to roll out gradually to other parts of the world and India too. So lets check if this update works neatly or it has bugs.
