It appears that the update to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 could have been delayed for some time for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2. IB Times said that the update may not arrive until November or December. It seems that the update depends on the sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4, but SamMobile has said that it could be delayed thanks to issues with the TouchWiz software. The 1GB of RAM could also be an issue.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 update was recently leaked online and the software came with new effects, lock screen, transitions and some apps that are exclusive to the Samsung Galaxy S4. The camera app was the only thing that did not come in the update, other than this everything works.
The sales figures could therefore be the issue.
When the Samsung Galaxy S4 first came out it sold well, but now the sales figures don't match those of the Samsung Galaxy S3 at the same time last year.
Samsung may be holding onto the update so that the Samsung Galaxy S4 keeps the apps exclusive, so as to push sales. This could be why they are not releasing it for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Samsung may want to wait and give the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Android 4.3 or Key Lime Pie, which may be out in October. Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 could then get the update to 4.2.2. people would then be able to choose either the Samsung Galaxy S3 with apps from the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Jelly Bean 4.2.2 or they could go for the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Key Lime Pie.
