Google Nexus Devices are First to Get Android 4.3

Google executive Huga Barra said that Google's Nexus family of devices will be the first to get the new version of Jellybean Android 4.3, but the Google Play Edition phones will have to wait a little while. Android 4.3 isn't a big enough upgrade to the Android software to get its own dessert name, but that doesn't mean Google fans won't be clamoring for it. So which devices will get the new release of software first?

The software, announced Wednesday at a special Google event in San Francisco, will ship with the newly updated Nexus 7. The software will also be coming to older Google Nexus devices.

Starting Wednesday, the original Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets, along with Google's Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus smartphones, will get the upgrades over the air, said Hugo Barra, vice president of Android product management.
