The next in line to receive the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update are Samsung's Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2.

According to Android Community, French carrier SFR recently posted a timetable detailing the software release dates for the devices. According to the timetable, the Samsung Galaxy S4 will receive the update in October, while the older devices such as the Galaxy Note 3 and Note 2 will receive it in November or December.

While Samsung Galaxy device owners await their updates to the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean software, Google is gearing up to launch the Android 4.4 Kit Kat mobile operating system pre-installed with the Nexus 5, expected to launch some time later this month.

Google only just released the Android 4.3 with the Nexus 7 in the summer. The new Android 4.4 KitKat is not expected to roll out to any other Samsung devices before the end of this year.
