Samsung also confirmed the October U.K. roll out for the software on its Facebook page earlier this month.

A Facebook user named Lewis messaged Samsung, telling the company to "hurry up and release the update for the U.K. International S3."

Samsung replied by stating that it will be available sometime before the end of this month.

"Hi Lewis, we can confirm that the Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) operating system will be available on the Galaxy S3 this month. Details regarding the availability across network channels will be announced in due course," wrote Ravi of Samsung.

The carrier-locked variants in the U.K. will receive the update later on down the line.

The rollout of JellyBean to the Galaxy S3 in the U.K. is part of Samsung's second wave of them that started this week.

The company just released the software upgrade in Sweden over KIES with a new official build called XXDLI.

The JellyBean update brings new features to the Galaxy S3, including a smoother UI, Google Now, Offline voice-typing support, expandable notifications, better settings organizations and much more.

The software is also expected to be available for Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2 users in the near future.
