SamMobile have managed to get their hands on an upcoming
software update for the Samsung Galaxy S III. This new update will upgrade the device to Android
4.2.2 and brings with it a ton of new features.
For starters,
you get the usual Android 4.2 features, including expanded notifications using
a two finger swipe that reveals additional options, lock screen widgets and
Daydream support. Other than that, Samsung has also added several features that
were introduced on the Galaxy S4.
We are talking
about features such as new lock screen animation, improved notification screen
with additional shortcut buttons, new Settings app UI, improved S Voice white
background option in the Gallery app, display color profile settings and much
more.
Samsung is
still working on the update and it is expected to start rolling out in June. If
you're feeling impatient, you can hit the source link and download the early
firmware, taking into consideration the usual risks. You will also find a lot
more screenshots in the link below.
