Android 4.3 coming to Xperia Z - Xperia Z General

According to multiple sources android 4.3 is coming to our Z. In this article it stated that it will release in the last week from November.
What do you guys think? Will the update get the Honami UI and hopefully some camera improvements?

Hope it will have honami launcher and camera improvements.

I think they should simply skip 4.3 and give us 4.4, I love the new features,
HTC One is getting within 90 days.

I thibk Sony is busy suing Google's ass to be able to come out with the 4.4 kitkat.

I believe that Sony still wait till 4.3 stable just to make convinve, before they build their own, and launch to the end user..

Ha..i can see them "wow look at this nothing has changed I'm so enjoyed"

A lot of people will resent Sony for pushing the Z1's ui onto the Z but fortunately I'm one of those people that are in love with it. I'm already running the Z1's launcher on my Z but I really like the other UI improvements like battery icon and white themed settings etc. Since my phone's relatively new I won't be experimenting with custom roms just yet so I'm really excited about 4.3.
Additionally from past experience with 4.3 (via CM 10.2) on Xperia T it is faster than 4.2.2 so I'm wondering what that would mean for my Z that's already flying through everything I throw at it.

The worst thing was the Honami's camera

I don't care that much about 4.3 as it's a minor change. The thing I'm hoping for the most is kexec kernel. If the awesome devs here manage to get it working - CM here I come. If not - well, it's not a big deal for me.

Yay.... But I'm using PAC ROM. But it is 4.2.2 though.

Time for a update

Samsung announces a new test update but don't mentioned what devices
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/06/19/sammobile-prepare-your-flagship-device/
Galaxy s2 is a flaghship device
And galaxy s2 was sold 40 million

Lets hope that 4.2.2 will arrive but a test update means a leak
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Possibly, it may come for S2.
Galaxy SII
hoping... :fingers-crossed:
I saw somewhere a post that it will come but this is the last time. It means that there won't be a 4.3 and 5.0 and so on s2
Anyway happy AOSP

I've read somewhere that Android 5.0 will work on devices with even 500 Mb of RAM.
S3 didn't get 4.2.2 so those who see s2 getting it before ...

Isn't this a test update?? S3 already got 4.2.2 leak so it is our turn now. This is probably a leak of 4.2.2 and not a stable version.

So without actually saying it and getting everyone's hopes up this looks like the S3 update.

I hope you are wrong.
s3 got 4.2.2 a long time ago, including leaks and official ones.
SM was talking about leak, not official one.
Why s3 to get a leak? Why? They already got 2 leaks :what: . we should get a test firmware (leak) ... We deserve it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
The update is for the S3... If you read the News piece carefully, you'll see that it says - A "PERFECT" test update. Why "perfect"? Simply because Samsung released floppy and buggy test updates (4.2.2) a while ago for the S3, and they were a flop. So before they release the final 4.2.2 for S3, they will release a "prefect" test update.
Do you remember the time when the S2 got the LSJ Jellybean leak, and then it got yet another leak which was less buggier and optimized for S2?
Apparently, I see the same happening for the S3 here...
But don't worry, I'm sure we'll see 4.2.2 on this flagship phone one day...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Not necessarily, there's still the #40million hash tag, and the s2 sold 40 million... The s3 sold in excess of 50.
Guess we won't know for definite until sammobile decide to share...

Dn3 is a touchwiz rom and it works perfect ( works better than 4.1.2).i don't think that could be compatible with n7105 and for wifi issue there's a fix on dr ketan's forum

Ok, so you want to support this fuc..king behaviour of Samsung by buying another phone from them....great idea....
The Note 1 got the 4.1 update around August or June if I'm not mistaken, while the Note 2 released in September last year.
The Note 3 released in September this year, luckily we've seen leaks or I would assume a similar timeline.
Surprising the S3 already has 4.3 rolling out before we do, they've already seen a major update, while all we got was 4.1.1 -> 4.1.2.
Granted, it sold in vastly larger quantities.
Even lower devices like the Grand, Mega have already seen major updates to 4.2.2 in their relatively short lifespan.
/frustration.

Note 2 will get 4.4 by April 2014

wohoo, now we can start creating the treads like when, where, how, why, finaly, should I, what, who, almost, next week,day,month,hour KitKat 4.4 Jelly Bean, cant wait. Note4
So excited!

I think Note 2 will not see KitKat, the JB 4.3 update arrived very late and the device will dead on it.
It's frustrating my Kies keeps telling me it's downloaded the latest update as I bootup the laptop, sadly it's the 4.1.2 this is a worst tease than than hearing about Kitkat

So we can expect 4.4 cust rom for note 2
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I remember reading on an official Samsung notice that the note2 will be updated to at least 5, which was expected to be released in October, but 4.4 arrived in its place.
4.4 is designed to work on lower spec devices, which should free up some resources to allow for the resource hungry note 3 apps to be ported over. so 4.4 certainly WILL make an appearance on the Note II. and a high probability of at least one more update to 5.0.
then we can start threads crying about the lack of ported apps from the note4 and note5....

Judging by how they bungled 4.3 (the S3 update was pulled and the Note 2 update put on hold in the UK) I wouldn't hold my breath. My contract will be up for renewal in February and I'll be off to another manufacturer.
This was my first and last Samsung.
Poor show.

Well I thought I'd shut down the "upload" on Kies so it doesn't eat up the boot time. Just another bit of windup from samsung joke store.

More than enough. Even phones with 512mb ram can handle 4.4 so there is no excuse. The note 2 can handle 4.4 without any problem but if samsung will update it only time will tell

Only good thing with Nexus phones is that they get updates first, nothing else. The design, hardware etc is so boring and even the screen is useless.

^ expected next month though PH pro'lly get it may-jun. expansys-ph has it on their "coming soon" section already. i've seen the z1 compact on kimstore, cmk & expansys-ph. btw, that language is technically not allowed here, bro
i'm thinking of getting the z2 as well to replace the one on my sig, especially if globe offers this on postpaid. but for me, it's really a toss up between this and the oppo find 7 qhd version - similarly spec'd but bigger (and pro'lly better) screen and a bit more cheaper for the US$599 price tag at launch
