Despite it aging at a fast rate (in Android years at least), the Galaxy S III smartphone<\/a> is still one hell of a smartphone. So that’s why Samsung has been hard at work ensuring its most successful device to date<\/a> will continue to receive prompt updates in order to keep things current. With that in mind— a leaked Android 4.2.2 firmware has surfaced for the unlocked variant<\/a> of the device, courtesy of the fine folks at SamMobile<\/em>. As expected, the leaked firmware is based off an incomplete version of the imminent update— but fortunately it appears that Samsung is pretty much done ironing out the bugs and should have the finished Android 4.2.2 build by the time June rolls around. Aside from the fact it is an incomplete version, the update does bring a ton of new goodies for the device including a new lockscreen, new S Voice, Driving Mode and a revamped Settings UI, among other things.<\/p>\n

If you are a GT-I9300 owner and want more deets on the mouthwatering firmware, hit the break to grab the download link, as well as full instructions on how to flash the update to your device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
