Owners of the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE international variant can finally join their brethren as proud recipients of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

The update is now currently rolling out for the Galaxy S3 LTE model GT-I9305 and will finally bump up the handset's Android version from Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It may take some time before the update hits every country, but interested parties can keep track of which regions are receiving the update over at SamMobile's live tracker.

The update is a rather large one, seeing as how the Galaxy S3 has not received a substantial patch since Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, so you'll want to have the device charged and connected to Wi-Fi before downloading. The Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Galaxy S3 contains a number of new features ported over from the Galaxy S4, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, a requirement for full connectivity with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.

Since Samsung does not provide an official changelog, here's a list of improvements the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update brings to the Galaxy S3 according to SamMobile:

"- GALAXY GEAR Support
- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)
- Core UI elements updated to the ones on the Galaxy S4 (Galaxy S4′s theme all over)
- New Samsung Keyboard
- GPU drivers have been updated (Higher GPU benchmark scores)
- New Lockscreen: Multiple Widgets, improved ripple effect than Android 4.1.2, ability to change clock size and set a personal message
- New Screen modes (From S4): Adapt Display and Professional Photo
- Daydream
- KNOX included
- Driving mode
- Actionable notifications
- Move-to-SD-card feature
- New Camera mode : Sound and Shot
- New Additions in Notification Centre
- Completely revamped Settings UI (Tabbed interface - Exactly like the Galaxy S4)
- Implementation of Voice controls (Let's you control various parts of the phone using voice commands - Galaxy S4 feature)
- New Samsung Apps: Calculator, Clock, Contacts, Gallery, Music
- Full screen Samsung apps
- New S-Voice (from Galaxy S4)"
