Samsung recently started rolling out the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update to the Galaxy S III in South Korea, and now we have some details on when the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be available for the handset in the UK.
Samsung has revealed on their Facebook page that the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be available for the UK version of the Galaxy S III sometime this month. They also mentioned that they would be announcing updates for the various network channels in due course.
Features of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Update
The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update brings a host of new features and improvements to the Galaxy S III. One of the most notable enhancements is Project Butter, which aims to make the user interface smoother and more responsive. This is achieved through triple buffering, vsync timing, and a fixed frame rate of 60 frames per second, making the overall experience much more fluid.
Another significant addition is Google Now, a personal assistant that provides real-time information based on your search history, location, and calendar events. Google Now can show you weather updates, traffic conditions, and even the score of your favorite sports team, all without you having to ask.
Enhanced Notifications and Widgets
The update also brings enhanced notifications, allowing users to take actions directly from the notification shade. For example, you can now reply to emails, return missed calls, and view photos directly from the notifications panel. This makes managing your daily tasks much more efficient.
Widgets have also been improved in Jelly Bean. They are now more flexible and can automatically resize to fit the available space on your home screen. This means you can customize your home screen more effectively, ensuring that all your important information is easily accessible.
Samsung has not given a specific date this month on when the update will land on the UK version of their Galaxy S III smartphone. However, they have assured users that the update is imminent. As soon as we get more information, we will let you guys know.
In addition to these features, the Jelly Bean update also includes improvements to the camera app, such as a new UI and enhanced performance. The update also brings better voice recognition and offline voice typing, making it easier to dictate messages and search queries without needing an internet connection.
For those concerned about security, the Jelly Bean update includes several enhancements to keep your device safe. These include improved app encryption and better malware protection, ensuring that your personal data remains secure.
The rollout of the Jelly Bean update in South Korea has been met with positive feedback, with users praising the improved performance and new features. It is expected that the UK release will be just as well-received, providing Galaxy S III users with a much-needed upgrade.
