Samsung has finally started to roll out Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note II. Given the recent failure to update the Galaxy S3 to the aforementioned version, it seems that Samsung did a pretty good job with the Note II and users state that Android 4.3 is running smoothly on the Note II (at least for the moment). The update has been confirmed to roll out via OTA in the Indian sub-continent and should be available to the rest of the world shortly.
