Android Jelly Bean Coming to Samsung Galaxy Note, Phablet Phans Rejoice

Galaxy Nexus owners aren’t the only ones getting the Android Jelly Bean treatment; SamMobile announced that Android 4.1.2 is now rolling out for the original Samsung Galaxy Note, the company’s first phablet. The update will bring the Note up to speed with the Note II, as well as the Galaxy S III mini and the Galaxy S III.

Galaxy Note users will now have the new Nature UX as well as performance improvements, multi-windows multitasking, Page Buddy, Notification Panel customization, Smart Rotation, access to Samsung cloud services, Google Now, and more. Features such as Multi-View multitasking will be especially handy for users who have phablet-sized screen real estate.


The Jelly Bean update is rolling out to users, but you can check to see if your device is up by checking manually in the Firmware section of your device, or you can rely on the OTA update or do it through SamKiesUpdates.
