Despite some speculation that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update might have been put on hold for the time being, it looks like Samsung has gone ahead and started pushing out the upgrade to international variants of the popular phablet.

The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update is currently only available for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 model GT-N7100 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE model GT-N7105. The download is going to be a weighty bump (the Galaxy Note 2 has been running Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for around a year now), so be sure to have your device charged and tethered to a Wi-Fi connection.

Samsung does not release an official changelog, but a list of changes compiled by reliable Samsung-centric website SamMobile reads as following:

"- GALAXY GEAR Support
- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)

- Samsung Wallet (Pre-loaded)
