Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean Leaked For The Samsung Galaxy S3
While all the spotlights are shining on the Galaxy S4 and other flagship devices, it’s still good to know companies don’t forget their mid-tier devices and their once flagship devices.
This is the case with Samsung which hasn’t forgotten about their aging former flagship the Samsung Galaxy S3. While there’s no news that development for the S3 hasn’t stopped, today we get the first taste of what’s to come for last year’s top-tier device.
