Samsung has started rolling out the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy S4 recently. The update is currently available for both the Galaxy S4 variants, the GT-I9500 (Exynos variant) and GT-I9505 (Snapdragon 800 variant). The first country to get the Android 4.3 update for GT-I9505 is Germany, whereas Russia is the first country to get the update for GT-I9500. The update is available via both Kies and OTA (over-the-air).
As the update is being rolled-out in phases, it might take few days or hours to reach your smartphone and country. You can manually check for the update on your device by going to Settings > More > About Device > Software Update, or connect your device to PC and check it via Kies application.
