The 4.3 Jelly Bean update packs in improved RAM management and colour display reproduction, Samsung KNOX implementations as well as a preloaded Samsung Waller. Rounding up the list is an improved TouchWiz launcher that promises much less launcher redraws and lag.

Of course, like most software updates, this one is being rolled out in phases, so you will just have to be patient if it isn’t available for your phone yet. Once Android 4.3 is made available for Samsung Galaxy S4 in the country, you will be able to update it using Samsung KIES or can simply apply the OTA update.
