Google Pushes 4.3 OTA to Google Play Edition Devices

When the Google Play Edition devices were announced there was much speculation as to how soon after the Nexus family received an update that they themselves would receive updates. If latest update from Google is any indication the answer is quite quickly. Just a little over a week after Android 4.3 was announced and pushed to the Nexus tree the GPe devices are starting to see the update hit. The download is 150MB and 180MB for the Samsung Galaxy S 4 and HTC One respectively. The update will bring your device to build JWR66V. The folks over at AnandTech have done some digging and from what it appears, there are some significant changes with this update. Besides increased icon sizes on widget panels the HTC One now has working IR. The S 4 now has Bluetooth tethering which should make you Google Glass wearers out there happy. Besides that there are a few aesthetic changes with the solid black background in the S4 settings being changed to the vanilla Android 4.x gradient. So if you have one of these two devices you can check for the update in the Settings > About Phone > System updates section. After you get the update you’ll be able to experience the buttery goodness they remelted into Android 4.3. Enjoy! source: AnandTech
