Samsung Galaxy S III update rolling out in the UK
Those of you with the new flagship Samsung Galaxy S III smartphone will be happy to know the devices first update is rolling out today. It’s being reported throughout the UK and parts of Europe, and appears to be rather small. You’ll still be on Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich but should have some improved stability.
According to our sister site SlashGear, the update hit earlier this morning and should be rolling out to most Galaxy S III users although we’re getting reports that it’s not arriving for many. As usual you can wait for the over the air update, check for updates on the device yourself, or use Samsung Kies and a PC to manually update to the latest version.
Mainly Samsung is noting that the update will bring “stability improvements,” but we are also seeing brand new radios and a small kernel update so hopefully performance will be improved too. Although it certainly was not lacking during our review. Let us know how the update goes for you and if you notice anything different by dropping us a line below in the comments.
