Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Stability update XXDME6 (still 4.1.2): 4.2.2 release date still long away

Samsung has started offering a new update for Galaxy Note 2 GT - N7100, build version XXDME6 for its international version. Each update brings some happiness and excitement to the mobile phone users but it doesn't seem to be the case today. Despite all the hype about the latest 4.2.2 update being just around the corner, this update clearly shows that the 4.2.2 update is going to take its time. Though the reports were around that the 4.2.2 update was delayed till June end it seems that it will not certainly happen in June but Sam mobile has reported that it will happen sometime in Q3 2013. 4.2.2 seems to have been delayed as Samsung is taking more time for incorporating the new Touchwiz interface on the S4 and the new features on S4.

This update is available in Europe right now to be updated over the air (OTA) or through Kies update. As of now it is not available in India. XXDME6 is a 4.1.2 stability fix mostly fixing bugs relating to battery issues and other minor issues.

So don't expect much as of now from this update and keep your fingers crossed for the 4.2.2 update for S3 and of course Note 2.
