New reports have surfaced online regarding Windows Phone 8 Update 3 or the GDR3 update, as Vodafone Australia said that it is waiting for the software to arrive for testing on Lumia 925.

Vodafone Australia, however, failed to mention the dates as to when it will officially start rolling out to customers.

The software has been under tests for around two weeks, which indicates that Lumia 925 users might enjoy the latest GDR3 update before Christmas.

Windows GDR3 update is said to arrive with Lumia Black and will bring a number of features and improvements for the handsets. Some of the features scheduled to arrive with GDR3 update include:

- Improved Wi-Fi sharing

- Driving Mode

- Screen orientation lock

- Improved Bluetooth

- Custom ringtones

- Better multi-tasking

- Improved app switcher

- Bug fixes and improvements

Nokia has already mentioned that Lumia 1020 will be updated to Lumia Black in early 2014 when they recently updated the Nokia Camera app with RAW support earlier this week.

TELUS, a Canadian carrier, also mentioned in its software update page that Lumia 520, 620 and 1020 owners will get the GDR3 update in January 2014.

The software page lists that the carrier is waiting for the software to undergo tests before it starts rolling out to customers.

Based on the information mentioned above, it is safe to assume that other regions and carriers may roll out the software around the same time.
