While South Korean Samsung continues to count the million-dollar sales of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, users of the latest large-format phone are counting the hours until they can update to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the very latest version of Google's operating system for smartphones . However, before reaching the edition that is already present in the latest Nexus range terminals, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 will have to go through a latest version of Android 4.1. Specifically, it would be Android 4.1.2, which has already been seen in the hands of developers.
Today we can tell you that the official ROM would have been leaked in order for users who wish to install it on their Samsung Galaxy Note 2. However, even at the risk of repeating ourselves, we want to insist on the need to make a backup copy of all the content of the phone before starting the process that, as usual, we point out that it would be your sole responsibility. At the moment, not all the news that would come from the Android version 4.1.2 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has been extracted, although a curious effect has been seen that we could configure for the screen unlock mode.
It would be the following. You already know that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has, among other peculiarities, a capacitive stylus with which to write, draw and develop exclusive functions with certain applications and processes of the phone. And with Android 4.1.2 it seems that this experience would improve. At least, this is how it appears when it is found that with the next update an effect would be added to the unlocking that materializes simulating an ink stain that spills on the screen, like a few drops of colored watercolors that are left noticeable on contact of the tip of this accessory against the panel.
This effect could only be configured as long as we do not have an animated screen background defined on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, since otherwise the unlocking with the ink stain would be disabled. If not, we could customize the color parameter of the effect that is added to this phone, choosing to show it in blue, pink, orange or green, for example. Once this is done, the possibility of unlocking the screen by changing the appearance with this artistic touch would be within our reach at the moment.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 has sold about three million units. In total, Samsung would expect to sell about 60 million smart terminals, among all the devices in its catalog. In fact, according to estimates by the UBS consultancy, more than seven million of these teams would correspond to the second generation of the mobile that wanted to be a tablet, and that during the next year will see how competition grows within that segment that now governs the South Korean company. At the moment, the only device of a similar nature on the market is the ill-fated LG Optimus VU.
