If you’ve been tapping that update button on your Galaxy S III or Galaxy S4 every day, eagerly anticipating the release of Google’s latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean release, then it’s time to give yourself a rest for a few weeks. Samsung confirmed at IFA this week that the update was indeed on its way — but it won’t be available until next month.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is a terrific smartphone, and it’s already a massive success. But it received lots of criticism following its launch earlier this year because of Samsung’s decision to stick with plastic and not adopt premium materials like stainless steel or aluminum. But the company may finally be looking to change that next time around.

According to a new report from Korea, Samsung will introduce a metal chassis for the next-generation Galaxy S5, and to ensure there are no production problems, it’s going to start making it later this year.

Samsung Wallet

Samsung has officially released its Wallet application on the Play Store, an app that was only previously accessible via Samsung Apps on either the Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note II. Samsung first previewed Wallet back at MWC in February and continues to be the South Korean company’s answer to Apple’s Passbook.

Those devices are still waiting to be upgraded from Android 4.1, and given that they were both flagships last year, it’s a little surprising that they’re still waiting to get the latest version of Jelly Bean.
