First software update for the Samsung Galaxy S3

  • Samsung Galaxy S3 introduced as Samsung's flagship and most powerful Android device.
  • First update available on May 29, focused on autonomy and performance issues.
  • The update, which is just 8,5 MB in size, focuses on the Ice Cream Sandwich kernel.
  • Improvements reported in Start access speed and battery consumption.

On May 3 we experienced one of those events of the year, the presentation to the public of the Samsung Galaxy S3, currently the flagship of the South Korean company and, unquestionably, the device with more options and more powerful Android. Two weeks after reaching the market, on May 29, this great device receives its first update, whose supposed objective is to solve some of the autonomy problems it had in certain situations, and speed up operation by performing certain actions.

The update has become available at United Kingdom, although the forecast is that it will not take more than a few days to reach our country and the rest of Europe. The changes are minor, obviously, there has not been a great modification of the operating system. However, the possibility is managed that the objective is to end some of the problems reported by the lucky ones who already have one of the first Samsung Galaxy S3 market.

The software update weighs only 8,5 MB, so it is also clear that it is not possible to bring too many modifications. Your reference name is LF2, that we do not know well what it can refer to, although it would not have to be anything important. It has started to be distributed by OTA and Kies in the United Kingdom, although there is already a method, using ODIN, which allows us to install the update on our Samsung Galaxy S3 in Spain. For all those adventurers willing to play it, they can do so using the information from the corresponding thread of XDA Developers.

It seems that this new version of software focuses on the integration kernel of Ice Cream Sandwich. Some users had reported that the device was slow to access Home after pressing the Home button. Those who have already updated declare that a lot has been streamlined. On the other hand, it seems that some users of the device's radio had realized that it consumes a lot of battery, even with the mobile at rest, the solution to this failure would be another improvement.

In any case, we will still have to wait a little longer if we want to make the official update to this new version of the operating system through OTA o Choose. Similarly, it would not hurt to wait for the South Korean company to offer official data on the content of the update of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
