The new firmware increases the available storage of the 16GB version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 from 9.15GB to 9.23GB. The Galaxy S4 users can further move apps to the SD card.
New features include a new camera firmware, Smart Pause Toggle, HDR video recording, a semi-transparent status bar and new icons in settings.
A smearing issue was also fixed in the Android 4.2.2, JellyBean update. 
Samsung Galaxy S4 family includes include a water and dust proof model S4 Active, S4 Zoom which is a camera phone with a 16 megapixel sensor, and S4 Google Edition.
The South Korean tech giant also leaked a photo of S4 Mini last month, hinting the existence of the Mini model, which was also available for the Galaxy S3.
Samsung Galaxy S4 was initially the company's fastest-selling smartphone to date, selling four million shipments in just five days from April 26 release of Galaxy S4.
"As of the end of April, we supplied four million Galaxy S4 handsets to telecommunications operators around the world," an unnamed Samsung executive told The Chosun Ilbo.
The recent days, however, saw a slowing sales of the company's flagship smartphone, dragging Samsung's stock price down by 6% on Friday.
"Sales of high-end handsets are lagging behind expectations, while low- to mid-end handsets are selling briskly worldwide," Kim Young-chan, an analyst at Shinhan Investment Corp., told Reuters.
"As the portion of low- to mid-range handsets is expected to increase in Samsung's overall mobile phone business, this has also sparked concerns about thinning margins and lower growth."
The Galaxy S4 still topped the smartphone market in May among three of the top four major U.S. carriers - Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, overtaking Apple's iPhone 5.
“We believe Samsung on the strength of strong Galaxy S4, S III, and Note II sales surpassed Apple to gain top share of the U.S. smartphone market for the first time since the iPhone 5 launch,” Michael Walkley, U.S. Canaccord Genuity analyst, told The New York Times Bits blog. The investment research company conducted a survey that revealed Samsung's triumph over Apple.
