Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W

After Arco68 declared to stop making Android update for Galaxy W, I was so worried if my device can no longer taste Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W. But my worry was soothed gradually when I read a post from xda forum stating that davidteri91 has started making Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W and this is his work. Thanks to davidteri91. You save my device's life.

After being released on July 24, 2013, Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W has been widely discussed whether it is still possible to port Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W. I am so glad that Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W actually cames true and I am going to diliver it to you.

Probably most of you are still wondering what's new on Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W. The User Interface (UI) is similar to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 but there is some improvement on the system. Here I give you the list of new features on Jelly Bean 4.3 Update for Galaxy W.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Restricted Profiles are similar to Kids Corner on Windows Phone. The feature of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Restricted Profiles lets you manage the apps and content which is accessible on a certain user account.

As expected, version 4.3 brings low-energy Blutooth which has been dubbed Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Bluetooth Smart. Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Bluetooth Smart support minimises the amount of power used when connecting Bluetooth accessories and also measures the data being transmitted.

If you start typing numbers, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Dial pad autocomplete will suggest contacts or numbers to call.

There's also added support for Afrikaans, Amharic, Swahili, and Zulu in Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Languages.
