Samsung have finally begun rolling out the much awaited Android 4.1 Jelly bean update. The first country to get the update is Poland, with other countries to receive the update shortly. Jelly bean brings with it some much wanted improvements like Project butter, which increase the overall smoothness and responsive of Android and Google Now, which is the voice enabled search application.
So it shouldn’t be too long before you will receive your Jelly Bean goodness, but there may be a delay due to networks taking their time to implement their own tweaks. None the less, it’s good to see it finally begin to make its way to the popular device. Keep in mind that you will lose flash support after upgrading, but there are ways of getting it back, check on XDA for more info on that.
