A leaked screenshot that has been spotted at Sammobile.com shows the new Google Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version running on Snapdragon-powered Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. According to first details, this firmware, build number JWR66N.S005.130625 is intended for Google Edition Galaxy S4 I9505G.

There aren't any noticeable differences between the previous and 4.3 version other than the camera UI which has already been seen on both HTC One and the Galaxy S4 Google Edition. We sincerely doubt that there will be any noticeable differences at all, at least not on the cosmetic side, judging by the fact that the Android 4.3 will still retain the Jelly Bean name.

Another report from WSJ states, citing unknown sources close to Google, that the company is currently working hard to finish the Android 4.3 and is also planning to launch the Android Key Lime Pie (most likely Android 5.0) during this fall. According to same source, the Key Lime Pie will be "better tailored for the lower-cost smartphones".

The same source also notes that Google is developing a smartwatch device and a gaming console of some sorts, both based on Android platform. Recent success and hype that has been produced around gaming consoles and smartwatches certainly caught Google's attention and it is understandable that the company wants a piece of that cake.

Of course, these are still unconfirmed rumors and you should take them with a rather large serving of salt.
