You can download and install Android 4.3 on the Samsung Galaxy S4, before the new version of Jelly Bean has even been announced.
Android 4.3 was spotted running on the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition at the tail end of last week, but now the test ROM has leaked, and it's available (unofficially) for you to try.
SamMobile obtained the test build of Android 4.3 and managed to install it on a Snapdragon-powered Samsung Galaxy S4.
The firmware proved fully functional on the GSM Galaxy S4 and it's now available for you to download too.
Android 4.3 features a slightly tweaked interface with all-new Roboto font and a modified camera UI that has already rolled out on the Google Edition HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4.
