Samsung lists which of its US smartphones will receive Jelly Bean
Share:
Even though we've seen a list of which Samsung devices (sold world wide) that would receive Jelly Bean, there hasn't been any official word on which of Samsung's US smartphones would receive the update.
First off, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Sprint and Verizon have already been updated to Jelly Bean, as well as Sprint's Nexus S 4G. What is interesting is that the Samsung Galaxy S III update is only listed as "Coming Soon" for Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and U.S. Cellular. At this point, we were hoping there would be more of an official time frame given. Missing is any mention of the Samsung Galaxy S II sold in the US, as Samsung has already said the overseas model would receive Jelly Bean, so we're not sure why the US model would not.
Over the past few weeks, we there have been Jelly Bean leaks for the AT&T and T-Mobile Galaxy S III, including a recent Jelly Bean leak for Sprint. But we have yet to see a leak for the Verizon model. Hopefully the official Jelly Bean update will hit for all Samsung Galaxy S III models in the US before the end of the year, as most newer smartphones coming out for the holiday season are expected to ship with JB, or be updated to it within a couple months.

Yea but you do notice that your battery drains a lot faster now, right?

I have installed JB on my SGS2 more than 3months for XDA (Rootbox-JRO03H) and with normal usage the battery lasts 1 to 2 days.

and even ace 2

It was bound to happen. I don't really see Samsung updating the S2 to JB or at least not in the immediate future.

this is only the gs3 list seems incomplete since they said gs2s would be getting it to

Why would you die? Most devices gets 1-2 updates then stop. Its the android world. Nothing is that great with 4.1 anyways
8. TheDude13 posted on 04 Oct 2012, 08:45 4 0
well i havent try the JB but all the android sites praise the update

It really is amazing. My GNex felt like a brand new phone as soon as I updated. FranksGT is just jealous and trolling hardcore

Every Samsung Galaxy device has gotten at leasy 3 updates... besides Samsung confirmed Jelly Bean for Galaxy S II.
25. g2a5b0e posted on 04 Oct 2012, 09:52 1 2
Every Samsung Galaxy device has gotten at least 3 updates? Are you serious? I bet you can't even name one because that's simply not true.
53. Berzerk000 posted on 04 Oct 2012, 13:58 0 0
No, the most any Samsung Galaxy device got in terms of updates is 2 to my knowledge, it was the original Galaxy S, it released with 2.1, then later got 2.2 then 2.3

You're absolutely right, but for some reason I get thumbed down twice for stating the facts. The people on this site are unbelievable. You can't state facts without getting hated on.
EDIT: I guess, technically, the Nexus S is a Galaxy device too. Also got 2 updates.
62. Berzerk000 posted on 05 Oct 2012, 03:30 0 0
The Nexus shouldn't be counted as a Galaxy device, it's a Google device.
64. g2a5b0e posted on 05 Oct 2012, 08:04 0 0
I'm sure it can be interpreted either way. I mean, the second Samsung Nexus device specifically has Galaxy in the name.
65. Berzerk000 posted on 05 Oct 2012, 09:05 0 0
Yeah, I can understand. But Samsung should not be given credit towards the updates even though it is "Galaxy" device, considering the updates are handled by Google.
66. g2a5b0e posted on 05 Oct 2012, 09:26 0 0
I can agree with that.

What about the S2????????? U Got to be kidding me
9. deadinside posted on 04 Oct 2012, 08:46 1 1
They just need to stop talking about it , and just get the updates out already.

In the U.S., 'coming soon' is due to carriers controlling the release of the update. The only manufacturer who gets to do their own release schedule is Apple.

my galy won't get any... even ics... wrong buy. my se xperia mini now has ics.
22. MartyK posted on 04 Oct 2012, 09:38 0 0
Yeah, I think I will stay in the Nexus family..this waiting stuff, is waaaaay too long...
The U.S. Carriers need to be a shame of them self; I mean, that can give the customers a choice/option to download a version with or without their bloat ware, Come on now, some people has already brought their phones and sign their long a** contracts with them.

Only upgrade to Nexus devices so you don't have to wait.

Oh you crazy kids. Back in my day phones didnt have UI updates. Whats a couple of months wait?

Oh nice, Samsung, just go ahead and don't list the Note.
34. Sniggly posted on 04 Oct 2012, 10:29 0 0
Yes, I know. I'm talking about the first Note, the one I have. Granted, Samsung says the list is subject to change, but still.
41. Droid_X_Doug posted on 04 Oct 2012, 11:59 0 0
AT&T is probably being mean to Sammy, hence no update schedule for Note I.

I personally believe if your phone has ICS, It should be upgraded to JB.
37. InspectorGadget80 posted on 04 Oct 2012, 11:04 1 1
f**kING B.S. Next time i'm never going to buy a phone THAT PROMISE THE UPDATE. FCK ALL OTHER DEVICE. I'm waiting next year for a JELLY BEAN PHONE
42. Droid_X_Doug posted on 04 Oct 2012, 12:01 0 0
You might want to modify your purchase filter. Next year, JB might even be stale.

Dude, I'm not even joking. You need some anger management counseling. You're always angry.
51. Droid_X_Doug posted on 04 Oct 2012, 13:47 0 0
Inspector does seem a bit animated. I am a bit surprised that he didn't pick up on delays in updates, though. This isn't the first (or second) time that a manufacturer has slipped their update schedule. Moto (and VZW) sure took their time with the ICS roll-out for the RAZR.
Not meaning to lecture, but if you want a particular O/S on a handset, don't buy the handset until the desired O/S is shipping with the handset.

I have had Jelly Bean on my CAPTIVATE - a SGS I, since August....

Welcome to Samsung, where we hate on Apple because they update phones that are over 3 years old...yet we don't that are just a few months old.
