By Vincent Funaro, Christian Post Reporter Friday, October 04, 2013

Google rolled out the Android 4.3.1, JellyBean update for the Nexus 7 2 LTE earlier today.

This is the first Android update since the company introduced the latest version of JellyBean a few months back. The software debuted simultaneously with the Nexus 7 2013 version.

It is unclear what changes have been made to the software with this new update. It most likely contains bug fixes and improvements, however; it probably does not include any new features.

Android 4.3.1 has only been rolled out to the Nexus 7 2013 model at this time and should be available for other Nexus devices sometime soon. There are several firmware versions out for the JLS36I update that include JSR78D, JSS15J and JLS36C.

It can be accessed over the air in various markets. It is approximately 9.42MB.

The Android 4.3, JellyBean Galaxy Note 2 update release date should be close as a test version of the software leaked onto the internet on Wednesday.

A test version was already made available for the Galaxy S4 a day prior, so seeing it for the phablet was not a big surprise.

The release date for the official software was recently leaked by Samsung Canada and French mobile operator SFR. The Galaxy Note 2 will update to Android 4.3, JellyBean during November, according to these reports. The company will roll it out to the Galaxy S4 sometime this month and will follow with the phablet and last year's flagship, the Galaxy S3.

The next update to be released for those devices will be Android 4.4, KitKat. However, it isn't as likely to make an appearance on the older Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3, as the S4 will be the priority.

The new software is expected to debut sometime before the end of this year on the new Nexus 5 smartphone.
