Samsung's line of flagship devices will be getting Android 4.3 Jelly Bean soon enough.

According to Android Community, which obtained a copy of French carrier SFR's update cycle, the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3, and Galaxy Note 2 will be getting Android 4.3 in the coming months. The Galaxy S4 will be first up with an update in October. The Galaxy S3 and Note 2 will get the updates in November or December.

Samsung updating to Android 4.3, which debuted in July, might prove a little disappointing to those who are eagerly anticipating Android 4.4 KitKat. It is unclear at this point when Android 4.4 will be released.

According to SFR, the HTC One will also get its Android 4.3 upgrade in October.
