Once again, Samsung keeps its word and begins to roll out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update on the Samsung Galaxy S2. This phone, which held the high-end distinction of 2011 in the South Korean catalog, is in top shape, and the arrival of version 4.1.2 of the Google platform proves it. But not only that. In addition, the upgrade package comes with the so-called Premium Suite. We refer to that set of exclusive functions that were released in the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2, but that is also spreading among other devices of the Galaxy S family .
Thanks to this, users of the Samsung Galaxy S2 will not only be able to enjoy the new features that come with this version of Google's operating system, but they would also have utilities such as Smart Stay. Thanks to this, the mobile identifies whether the user is observing the screen while lying down or with his head on one side, so that it activates the rotation of contents so that the vision is more comfortable. Pop Up Play function is also included . We have been surprised, we have to admit, the presence of this option in the Samsung Galaxy S2. It is a system with which we can pass a video from the multimedia player to a floating window that remains in the foreground while we perform any other task. Thus, we can have the video and audio of the open file present at all times while, for example, we write a message or an email, read on a website or consult data in an application. And thanks to the processor dual-core 1.2GHz.
More news: Direct Call. With the help of this utility, the user can switch from the messaging application to the phone itself "" the section dedicated to call management "" with just one gesture. Once this function is activated, in case we are writing an SMS message to a contact, it would be enough to take the Samsung Galaxy S2 to our ear so that the system interprets that we have changed our mind and we want to make a call to that same contact, canceling the message we were writing.
On the other hand, thanks to the update, the Samsung Galaxy S2 receives the user interface of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3, as well as some of the floating windows with information from native applications that we can configure on the home screen. In the same way, it improves the user experience in relation to notifications and, of course, Google Now arrives. This function, as we have already detailed on another occasion, consists of a virtual assistant that interprets our searches and habits to offer us personalized results. If Google Now did not appear activated by default after the update, from Tuexpertomóvil we already hadhow to launch this function.
By the way, this time from Spain it's time to give a round of applause to Samsung: our country is the first to receive the Android 4.1.2 update for the Samsung Galaxy S2. After this, we move our eyes to their older brothers, counting the hours until Android 4.2 is seen in the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
