Five Samsung Devices Sure To Get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Update Soon!

Jelly Bean upgrade to its devices can be one of the most important weapons for Samsung to pose competition to the upcoming Apple iPhone 5.

Monday, August 06, 2012:  Korean smartphone maker, Samsung has been tight-lipped about its devices getting Google's latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrade. But industry experts see it as an effort of trying to tease the users who are waiting for the much anticipated update. Sources reveal that the update is likely to arrive before the end of this year. If that happens (it surely will), it could be one of the most important weapons for Samsung to pose competition to the upcoming Apple iPhone 5.

Here is the list of five Samsung devices that are sure to get a Jelly Bean upgrade. 

Samsung Galaxy SIII

Samsung Galaxy SIII has emerged as one of the most successful offerings of the Korean smartphone maker and has been one of the best-selling devices as well. The manufacturer cannot afford to leave its patrons in limbo. So the question is when will an upgrade for this one arrive. The company has not given an official word on it but rumours suggest that Galaxy SIII might get Jelly Bean update via Samsung KIES or over the air in the last quarter.

Samsung Galaxy S2

Samsung is reportedly working on providing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrade for Galaxy S II. Only after the tests are done successfully, will the company send out Android 4.1 upgrade for SII.

Galaxy SII was originally launched with Android 2.3 Gingerbread and it received the Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade only recently. The owners of Galaxy SII are likely to receive the update in the fourth quarter.

Samsung Galaxy Note

Galaxy Note is one of the trend-setting devices lunched by Samsung. Since it is one of the premier devices from the company, Samsung cannot afford to miss out on this one. Samsung Galaxy Note was released with Gingerbread out of the box and performs well with ICS, after updates were rolled out. XDA Developers have already released a teaser of how Jelly Bean work on Galaxy Note. So it should not be a big deal for the company.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Samsung Galaxy Nexus is one of the first devices to receive Android 4.1 Jelly Bean upgrade. Google started rolling out Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on July 11 with Galaxy Nexus HSPA+. The upgrade was rolled out after Samsung`s win over Apple on the issue of patent infringement. The Korean manufacturer was able to convince the court to let the sales of Galaxy Nexus continue.

Samsung Nexus S

Samsung's Nexus S started getting the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update on 20 July. Google has been able to keep its words as many Nexus S owners also reported to have received notification about the update. For those who have not received it, it is advised that they contact their carriers.
