Android 4.3 has been caught in the wild and already released as an early build, after being spotted running on a Samsung Galaxy S 4 Google Edition. The upcoming OS, still yet to be officially confirmed by Google itself but here still called Jelly Bean, has leaked to SamMobile, where it’s described as “fully functional” without “a single thing that isn’t working”.
That’s on the regular Samsung Galaxy S 4 (GT-I9505), rather than the GT-I9505G variant Google is selling directly to consumers as of this week. According to SamMobile – which had earlier shared screenshots of Android 4.3 running on the Google Edition – the ROM is completely unchanged from how their source supplied it, requiring no modifications to work on the more commonly available variant.
Of course, installing any unofficial ROM – even one believed to come from Google itself – comes with some dangers. Biggest is the fact that flashing it will void your warranty, so don’t go running to Samsung if you want a taste of early software but inadvertently brick your phone in the process.
