If you feel that your Galaxy S3 is still a competitive smartphone and you are not interested in buying Galaxy S4, you will be happy to know that if you upgrade the firmware of S3 to Android 4.2.2, you will be able to enjoy Galaxy S4 features on your phone. The rumor has come from SamMobile. A new video released by them shows a leaked update of Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS for Galaxy S3. The video shows that once the update is done, users will be take advantage of Galaxy S4 features on S3.

The Galaxy S3 is not an obsolete device and the update will only bring new functionality to the phone. Some of the other features will accentuate the cosmetic appeal of the operating system. For instance, the new update will allow you to checkout widgets on the lockscreen. Also by using two fingers, you can roll down the notification tray and then access settings toggles and actionable alerts.

The S Voice feature on Galaxy 4 allows user to easily manage the phone while driving. The new update brings the same feature to Galaxy S3. Users will be able to make use of voice commands to control the S3 while driving. So, if you are using the Galaxy S3 and waiting to install the new Android update, very soon you will be able to flash the new firmware on your S3.

Once you flash to the latest firmware upgrade, your S3 will be running Android 4.2.2 and TouchWiz version that is currently running on Galaxy S4. The update has not been made officially available and we expect the update to be available in June for unlocked S3 devices. We feel that update will be made available when Samsung will launch the newer models of S4. Some of the S4 models that are waiting in the pipeline are Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy S4 Zoom.

SamMobile has not only revealed information on the new firmware upgrade but also they have managed to create a video that will let you know how your S3 after installing the new build. The firmware version is I9300XXUFME3. If you visit the source site, you can find the procedure to perform the upgrade. We recommend you to backup your data before performing the upgrade. Also, Samsung has not yet announced the update yet though it may happen very soon. If you can’t wait that long, you can visit the source site and go ahead with the upgrade otherwise you can wait for the official and stable release directly available on your phone.
