Samsung is reportedly working hard on Jelly Bean update for international as well as the US variants of Galaxy S3. The Jelly Bean tests for the global Galaxy S3 (I9300) have received a significant improvement over the last test firmware.

According to a GSMArena report, the Jelly Bean update for Galaxy S3 is almost ready and will be releasing alongside the Galaxy Note 2 at the Mobile Unpacked event.

As for the firmware update for Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note, the update is believed to be going through intense development and will be released for both devices sometime in Q4.
