Android 4.3 update for Samsung Galaxy Note II now live in India
Samsung India has started rolling-out Android 4.3 update for its Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 smartphone today. The update is now available both over-the-air and via Kies application. Over 700MB in size, this is a pretty big update, so if you are opting to download it OTA, better download it on a decent Wi-Fi network.

Here are some more changes:
- TRIM Support, Better RAM management
- Samsung Wallet (Pre-loaded)
- Core UI elements updated
- New Samsung Keyboard, and updated Calculator, Clock, Contacts, Gallery & Music apps
- New Lock-screen: Multiple Widgets, improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message
- New screen modes: Adapt Display and Professional Photo
- Daydream
- Actionable notifications
- Move-to-SD-card feature
- New Camera mode: Sound and Shot
- Completely revamped Settings UI
- Implementation of Voice controls, New S-Voice
- Full screen Samsung apps
Please keep in mind that the update is released in phases, so not everyone will get it right-away. If you can’t get the update OTA, try updating your phone via Kies.
