Are you itching to get Android 4.2.2 on your Galaxy Note II? Well, don’t hold your breath, because according to one carrier, it’s never coming. The device is expected to skip the release and jump straight to Android 4.3 instead.
With Samsung and HTC launching “Google Edition” variants of their latest flagships, many expected Sony to do the same. But the Japanese company is keeping very quiet about any such plans. Thankfully, Xperia Z owners can now take matters into their own hands, thanks to an unofficial Android 4.3 Google Edition ROM.
Tired of waiting for Sony to release its Android 4.2.2 update for the Xperia Z? Well, now you don’t have to. The update has been leaked and made available to download, allowing those who have an unlocked bootloader to install it manually. However, there are a few caveats.
Earlier this week, we heard that the Sony Xperia Z would be the latest device to get a “Google Edition” tag and begin shipping with a stock Android experience free from third-party tweaks, and now that rumor has been “confirmed” by a separate set of sources.
A new software update rolling has just begun rolling out to the Samsung Galaxy S4. It doesn’t bring the much-anticipated Android 4.3 update, unfortunately, but it does offer some camera improvements including HDR video recording, and it increases the amount of internal storage available to users.
