Samsung Galaxy S3: Android Jelly Bean Update Halted in India Due to Technical Issues

It might have come as a shock for many Samsung users in India who were waiting for the Android Jelly Bean update. Samsung India has confirmed the suspension of Jelly Bean update for its Samsung Galaxy S3 device. The company was also quick to come with an explanation for that. According to the AndroidOS latest report, the folks over there have informed that Samsung has found some bugs in the update which could cause harm to the users.
