If you live in the UK, then in all likelihood you have the Snapdragon 800-powered version of the Samsung Galaxy S4, but if you live elsewhere then you may have the Galaxy S4 which is without 4G LTE but packs in a Exynos 5 Octa-core processor.

If you’re in the latter group then you may have looked on in envy as the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S4 begun receiving its Android 4.3 update last week. Fortunately for you, that envy can now come to a stop, with Samsung now announcing the rollout of Android 4.3 for the Exynos-powered devices.

We currently don’t have a date for rolling out in the Western hemisphere, but if you’re in India or Indonesia then you should begin getting your updates today. Unless, of course, you’re really impatient and want to manually install the update.
