Samsung reveals all devices that will get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update
Ah, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean! Android’s promised land of no lag is closer than ever, and now Samsung has released the full list of all devices that will be bumped up to Jelly Bean. Of course, the flagship Galaxy S III is the first to get JB starting today in some European countries.
The update brings first and foremost Project Butter, the almost magical Google tweak that brings buttery smooth lag-free experience, but Samsung is also bringing its own TouchWiz flavor update. For instance, in PopUp Play, the feature where you can play a video while doing something else, you’ll be able to adjust the size of the video window.
The release date is soon, but nothing more specific.
And we are honestly impressed as even Samsung’s most affordable handsets like the Galaxy Mini II are getting bumped up. More advanced phones like last year’s Galaxy S II and mid-rangers like the Ace 2 and the unique pico projector-laden are all there as well. Check out the full list below:
But apart from that one device, this seems like a very, very solid update lineup for Samsung, don’t you think?
