Samsung Malaysia has rolled out the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update to Samsung Galaxy S4 devices in Malaysia. For now, the update is available for the Exynos variant (GT-I9500) of Samsung’s flagship smartphone, but the LTE variant is expected to receive a similar update soon (Update: the update for the LTE variant (GT-9505) had been rolled out earlier). The update is a sizeable one, amounting to some 670MB, and is available via its Kies software and over-the-air (OTA).
The Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S4 tweaks many features on the Galaxy S4, such as introducing an improved TouchWiz launcher, improved RAM management, a new stock virtual keyboard, and a new stock browser. Samsung’s KNOX security suite will also be pre-installed, and a new camera firmware which should improve performance on the device’s capable 13MP sensor.
Additionally, the new update also adds support for Samsung’s first smartwatch, the Galaxy Gear – just as Samsung announced back in September.
Thanks for the tip, @laineyx!

I have a GT-i9500 (3G version) and I’ve gotten the 4.3 update a few days ago. Nothing wrong with the info on this post.
after upgrade 4.3v but my storage build 16gb to 8.92GB only, so disappointed
It would be great if you can share what Samsung Malaysia roll out plan for other devices are.
Anyone encounter WiFi issue after upgrade to android 4.3 on S4 LTE?
My note 2 has been updated to 4.3 OTA. No issue and runs great..just had major issue with the contact all jumbled up but lucky had a back up and sorted it out..’I’M happy and Samsung has been very generous. I will surely buy the note 4 cos it will be a totally new design and tech compared to note 3 which is a minor incremental update according to me.
