The Samsung Galaxy S3 was one of the most popular handsets that was released last year with consumers around the world, but the updating of the handset to the Android Jelly Bean operating system has not run that smoothly for owners in the US. Now the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 has appeared before release, but lacks the Premium Suite of features.
When the International Galaxy S3 received the same software it also got the Samsung Premium Suite that features a number of neat options, which includes the Multi-Window feature that is popular among users. Now Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean has leaked for the Verizon version of the smartphone ahead of an official release, and currently is missing this feature.
Verizon customers first started to receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean back in December, which came a while after owners of the International model had seen their handsets updated. At the time of writing it is not clear if Premium Suite is missing as the firmware is any early build, or that it won’t be added at all.
It seems the leak was built on January the 19th and suggests an official release is on its way, but we could be a few weeks yet away from seeing an official release for US owners. Verizon is historically last to push out Jelly Bean updates so we may see rivals such as AT&T and Sprint get the software out sooner.
The Android 4.1.2 update brings a number of other features to the Galaxy S3 that includes the likes of new camera features, Paper Artist, and much more but if the Verizon update lacks things such as Multi-Window there will be a lot of angry customers of the carrier.

The Galaxy S III has a polycarbonate plastic chassis measuring 136.6 mm (5.38 in) long, 70.7 mm (2.78 in) wide, and 8.6 mm (0.34 in) thick, with the device weighing 133 grams (4.7 oz). Samsung abandoned the rectangular design of the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, and instead incorporated round corners and curved edges, reminiscent of the Galaxy Nexus.The phone is available in two basic color options: "Marble White" and "Pebble Blue"; however, "Pebble Blue" has reportedly been altered to a metallic blue-grey shade. A "Garnet Red" model was made available exclusively to U.S. carrier AT&T on 15 July 2012. "Sapphire Black", "Titanium Gray" and "Amber Brown" will also be available.
The S III comes in two distinct variations that differ primarily in the internal hardware. The international S III version has Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad system on a chip (SoC) containing a 1.4 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 central processing unit (CPU) and an ARM Mali-400 MP graphics processing unit (GPU). According to Samsung, the Exynos 4 Quad doubles the performance of the Exynos 4 Dual used on the S II, while using 20 percent less power.Samsung had also released several 4G LTE versions—4G facilitates higher-speed mobile connection compared to 3G—in selected countries to exploit the corresponding communications infrastructures that exist in those markets.[74] Most of these versions use Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 SoC featuring a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and an Adreno 225 GPU. The South Korean and Australia versions are a hybrid of the international and 4G-capable versions.
The S III has a maximum of 2 GB of RAM, depending on model. The phone comes with either 16 or 32 GB of internal storage, with a 64 GB version to be available internationally; additionally, microSDXC storage offers a further 64 GB for a potential total of 128 GB. Moreover, 50 GB of space is offered for two years on Dropbox—a cloud storage service—for purchasers of the device, doubling rival HTC's 25 GB storage for the same duration.
