Just days after releasing the Galaxy S3 in Europe and parts of Asia,
and before getting it out in the US, Samsung has already issued not one,
but two OTA (over-the-air) updates for their new flagship phone.
The first of the two upgrades weighs in at 31.17 MB, according to a SlashGear report, but only 9 MB, according to the guys at Phone Arena, and its changelog only mentions “improved stability” as software tweaks and/or improvements.
To
get the update, you only have to access the Android settings menu in
your Galaxy S3, tap “About Device” and then “Software Update”. A message
will pop up if you perform a manual check, and the new software package
should be up and running in a matter of minutes, depending on your
network connection speed.
After downloading the first update, you
should get another prompt message for a second OTA upgrade weighing in
at another 15.57 MB (or less, depending on your phone’s initial
configuration). This second OS update comes with the same “thorough”
changelog mentioning just “improved stability” at details about the new
software package.
The S3 updates might depend on your location and exact S3 model
number, so if you’re unable to download and install any of the two
firmware upgrades, don’t worry too much and give it some time. Also, if
we are to trust Ben Kersey from SlashGear,
who has installed both updates and has played around with Samsung’s new
flagship phone for a while, there aren’t any “radical” software changes
or improvements to report. Then again, that shouldn’t come as a
surprise, considering the fact that we haven’t yet seen anything wrong with the Galaxy S3’s OS.
