Samsung galaxy s3 will receive android 4.1 soon, galaxy s2 in testing
Samsung has put the batteries when it comes to updating its range of smartphones. Its new top manager has already commented: the company would turn to the creation and improvement of its own software. And apparently this is being done. The Asian giant is working on updating its first sword (Samsung Galaxy S3) and the previous flagship (Samsung Galaxy S2). And the version of Android that is being customized for both models is Jelly Bean, better known as Android 4.1.
Google presented the new version of its mobile platform a few weeks ago along with its first foray into the world of tablets with Nexus 7, a very economically priced device ”” 200 euros for the eight GigaBytes version and 250 euros for the 16 GB version ”” And that will arrive in Spain in September. For its part, Samsung Galaxy S3 came to the market with new functions and Android 4.0 installed as standard.
But it was logical for the Asian firm to take the next step: update its models to the latest version. According to the information that the SamMobile page has revealed, the manufacturer would soon launch the update to Android 4.1 and would not leave aside one of the most successful models that continues to have on the market: Samsung Galaxy S2. However, in the latter case, tests are still being carried out.
The dates that are considered for the launch of the update in the first case would be between the months of August and September, assuming that the units that have been acquired in free format will receive it first. On the other hand, the Android 4.1 tests that have already been done on the Samsung Galaxy S2, have been successful, but they still want to make sure that it will work without any problems.
Also according to the internal source of SamMobile , the company also has in mind bring Jelly Bean to other computers on the portfolio of the company. The bet that the portal makes are two more teams: on the one hand it would reach Samsung Galaxy Note "" which could indicate that Samsung Galaxy Note 2 arrived with this version installed directly "" as well as a team that belongs to the range of tablets of the manufacturer: Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. The rest of the equipment in the catalog has not been ruled out either, although the exact words of the source are: "the update will reach the high-end models."
With this strategy, Samsung would position itself as the manufacturer that is betting the most on leaving its customers satisfied. On the other hand, the most impatient users can already try a CyanogenMod 10 ROM based on Android 4.1 on their Samsung Galaxy S3 and which can be downloaded from the XDA-Developers forum for developers. But if the user does not want to risk "" or is not too crafty to dare to put his hand on the smartphone "", he can always be aware of the arrival of the official version and check from the "settings" section of the menu, in case Samsung the new version of the software is released early.
