It appears Samsung is soon going to make good on its promise: A leaked software update for the Galaxy S 3 shows Android 4.2.2 along with several cues from the handset&#8217;s successor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gigaom2.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/gs4-android-verison.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Android 4.2.2 on the Galaxy S 4\" src=\"http:\/\/gigaom2.files.wordpress.com\/2013\/03\/gs4-android-verison.jpg?w=210&#038;h=153\" width=\"210\" height=\"153\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-620698\" \/><\/a>Enthusiast site SamMobile got hold of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/2013\/05\/20\/exclusive-i9300xxufme3-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-leaked-firmware-for-the-galaxy-s-iii\/\">Galaxy S 3 software update<\/a> and even has the file available for download if you have a Galaxy S 3 and you&#8217;re feeling particularly adventurous. The site suggests that Samsung is still working on the firmware and will likely include the Galaxy S 4 camera interface. That makes sense to me as Samsung representatives told me the company is trying to standardize the UI between its phones and cameras.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t expect the Galaxy S 3 to see the touch-free gestures found on the Galaxy S 4 though: The latter device uses a special digitizer not found on the older phone. Here&#8217;s a partial list of the feature updates found by SamMobile, followed by a short video demonstration showing off the Galaxy S 4 bits running on a Galaxy S 3:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Android 4.2.2 \u2013 Build ID: JDQ39<\/li>\n<li>New S4 Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, two Unlock effects (Ripple and Light), improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message<\/li>\n<li>New Screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional Photo<\/li>\n<li>Actionable notifications<\/li>\n<li>Completely revamped Settings UI (Tabbed interface \u2013 Exactly like the S4)<\/li>\n<li>Addition of Voice controls (Let\u2019s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands \u2013 Galaxy S4 feature)<\/li>\n<li>New S-Voice (from S4)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='604' height='370' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8K02KtMA-ik?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;%23038;fs=1&#038;%23038;showsearch=0&#038;%23038;showinfo=1&#038;%23038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;%23038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0'><\/iframe><\/span> <\/p>\n<p>The software update is expected next month, although that could change based on feature additions and testing by Samsung. What surprises me &#8212; in a good way &#8212; is that Samsung is doing this at all. Early on, the company wasn&#8217;t known for delivering Android updates too quickly. And instead of keeping the best features on the Galaxy S 4, possibly enticing some to upgrade early from a Galaxy S 3, the company is improving the experience on the older model.<\/p>\n<p> <img
