Due to various Anspassungsprobleme with the TouchWiz user interface, however, these plans had to be put on hold and the decision was made for a later direct update to Android 4.3 JellyBean in the second half. Already in November 2013, this update was provided sporadically available, but it turned out just like the Samsung Galaxy S III quickly as not mature, which has resulted in many users in serious malfunctions.
