Samsung
Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S2 will be given the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean official
update. The Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy note were released back
in 2011 when all the Samsung devices had the standard Android 2.3 Gingerbread
as an operating system. The handsets have really gone a long way as both will
be updated with the newest software, the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. If we take the
unofficial sources for granted, the two Samsung flagship smartphones will pass
over the Android 4.1.1 version and will leap straight to Android 4.1.2.
Representatives of the Canadian carrier Rogers validated
that the LTE versions of the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2 will receive the Android
4.1.2 Jelly Bean. However, from my experience the first devices that usually
receive firmware updates are the unlocked ones. The customers that bought one
of the two smartphones with a contract (no matter from which carrier) will
receive the update a little later, but if you are one of the users that don’t
have any kind of carrier plan, you could probably get the Android 4.1.2 Jelly.
For now neither of the Samsung officials have confirmed the
news, but they are expected to come forward sometime soon.
When the Samsung Galaxy S2 was launched it has the best
smartphone developed by the Korean company and probably the best on the market
last year. The device sported a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED (even bigger than the
Samsung Galaxy S), it was powered by a dual-core Exynos processor at 1.2 GHz,
had 1GB of RAM and an 8MP rear camera
capable of recording Full HD video. The Samsung Galaxy note was not so
different from the S2 in terms if specs, the only dissimilarity was the huge
screen which measured 5.3 inches. Because of its big-sized display the Samsung
Galaxy Note also received the nickname of “phablet” because its size was between
the size of a phone and the one of a tablet. It had the identical Exynos
processor, but with the difference that it was clocked to 1.4 GHz.
