Google’s next version of Android may have taken its latest bow courtesy of a batch of leaked screenshots.
Images obtained and posted by Sammobile purport to reveal an early Android 4.3 build running on the Google Play Edition Galaxy S4. The screenshots clearly display the Android version number as 4.3, while the model number of GT-i9505G refers to Google’s new “pure” version of the Galaxy S4.
Another screenshot shows that Google is apparently sticking with the Jelly Bean moniker for Android 4.3.
This isn’t the first time Android 4.3 has surfaced in the wild. In May, photos found on the xdadevelopers forum allegedly showed a Nexus 4 phone equipped with the next Android OS update.
So when should Android users expect a dose of 4.3?
Earlier rumors claimed Google might announce the latest update at its I/O conference on May 15. But the conference came and went without any such unveiling. The latest reports from several Android blog sites now say Android 4.3 could pop up in July.
