Verizon’s Galaxy S III hasn’t got an official taste of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system as of now, but it seems that it won’t be too long before it does so.

A new leaked Jelly Bean build is now available for download for the mobile phone, for all those interested in loading it on their devices before the official update is pushed out.

Featuring build number VRBLK1, the leaked ROM can be found over at Samsung Updates, while instructions on how to install it are available on the XDA-Developers.

The leaked ROM is dated November 15 and needs an unlocked bootloader on the device, as well as Odin to flash it.

As always, we recommend that users wait for the official update to be delivered to them, since the unlocking / rooting of the handset will void warranty.
