In the midst of the Android 4.4 KitKat announcements and the unveiling of the Google Nexus 5, Sprint has started rolling out a new update for the Google Galaxy Nexus. Unfortunately it is not the KitKat update which won't be released for the Galaxy Nexus. Instead the phone is finally receiving Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.As part of Google's policy for their Nexus devices, the company will only release updates for 18 months of its life. Given the Galaxy Nexus is now over two years old its support has come to an end.
Despite being a Google experience device, the Galaxy Nexus on Sprint and and the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon have not received timely updates. Even Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is arriving nearly four months after it was originally released.
