Luckily, pre-release firmware of the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S III has leaked out and the most impatient can start the update it right now. Good news is it has been tested confirmed to work flawlessly.
Take into account that the update isn’t completely finalized and by the time Samsung rolls this out in June there might be more to come. Right now, though, you can get a lot of the S4 features on your S III, and that’s not something to miss for those who like to experiment. Hit the source link below for more instructions on how to install the update.

So the year-old S3 gets 4.2.2 before the fresh HTC One... and you wonder why ppl. buy the plastic reparable over the metal brick.

That is the difference :)

Come on, I'm pretty sure it's been established at this point that iOS X update are just 0.X updates. Look at iPhone OS and look at iOS 7, tell me if they actually did some redesigning from the ground up somewhere or just kept adding stuff.

This is what I love about Samsung. I don't find any reasons to hate Samsung when it comes to this thing. Haters are gonna hate anyway :))

How do you know its before the One? THIS IS ONLY A LEAKED UPDATE. IT WAS FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY. IT AIN'T AN OFFICIAL UPDATE!!!!.
I'm pretty sure HTC has a test build for 4.2.2 as well. You can't compare it like this.
Lets wait for the offical update that Samsung releases through Kies before we compare

Looks fluid too on the 2012 flagship. The funny thing is, the 4.2.2 S3 might just be a little more responsive than the S4, at least until boyz @ Samsung figure out how to simplify the SW for all the new sensors and tech. In the end, the S4 SW wll live up to the HW performance.

Do you have s4? The update rolled by samsung and the carriers has fixed the lags. I read some users comments in androidcentral forums.. Anyway, kudos to samsung.. What i dont like about the new touchwiz is the new music player and dialr pad skins.. i am in love with what s3 and note 2 have

maybe bcuz of the bloatware that s3 is not going to have.. or maybe this is this beta and the release version is going to be bigger..

THIS is why HTC doesn't stand a chance vs. sammy. it's not just the HTC One Vs the S4, it's HTC One vs the S4, S3, Note 2 AND S2. Sammy's deck is so stacked it's ridiculous. BTW, i'm purchasing the S3 on UPGRADE in July, for less than $50. can HTC offer anything even close to that value, absolutely not.

I wonder if these added touchwiz features will effect the overall performance in a negative way? I'm curious too of the file size of this update!

HTC fans only care bout body construct. While the GS III owners gets the SOFTWARE UPDATE and while the HTC ONE software just sit there in LIMBO.

U gotta remember one thing when buying earphone TEOLL. Don't buy earphone from a company that WONT UPDATE the software or you will be stuck n shot out of luck. That's why I don't buy HTC phones cause they always screw up the older models and force u too buy a new one.
