T-Mobile customers who still own the Galaxy S III rejoice, as the carrier has just announced that Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for Samsung's popular smartphone is now available for download.

As AndroidPolice points out, the update is only available for non-LTE Samsung Galaxy S III, whereas the LTE-enabled version will get it at a later date.

Hopefully, T-Mobile won't pull the update like it happened in other regions, but more importantly, let's hope this build is bug-free and Samsung Galaxy S III owners who apply the update will be able to continue to use their phones.

As expected, the upgrade is pushed OTA (over the air) in stages, but those who do not wish to download 485MB via Wi-Fi can upgrade via Samsung Kies desktop software.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update brings Samsung Galaxy Gear and KNOX compatibility, along with other visual and performance improvements.
