Samsung Galaxy Note 2 : Android 4.3 firmware update for India expected soon (Sammobile leaks N7100XXUEMK4)

All users of Samsung Galaxy Note 2 have been waiting endlessly for an update. We waited for a long time for a 4.2 update after the 4.1.2 stability update and realized later it was not going to happen and we are to move to 4.3 directly.

Both S3 and Note 2 users got hopeful last month after clear news of the update being near. After release of S3 update in several countries news started pouring in of S3 users from Europe complaining of unresponsive handsets, poor Wi-Fi connectivity, poor battery life, and a system hanging that required battery to be pulled out to start updated Note 2.

This report led to the speculation that Samsung might stop the Android 4.3 update for Galaxy S III which would eventually lead to delay in Android 4.3 update for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 .

Earlier this month, one user reported that he got his Note 2 updated to Android 4.3 from a service centre in India.

Yesterday Sammobile has leaked an Android 4.3 test firmware with build number N7100XXUEMK4 for Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
