If you're an owner of a Verizon Galaxy Nexus, you're probably used to the carrier taking ridiculously long to give your phone an update or bug fix. Here's some good news though - Verizon began rolling out an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for their Galaxy Nexus.
The update, available via Wi-Fi, has already garnered positive feedback.
"With Jelly Bean and Project Butter, the overall speed and performance of Android on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus has improved immensely. Seriously, there is a noticeable difference between the UI in Ice Cream Sandwich and the one in Jelly Bean." writes Adam Mills on GottaBeMobile.
The new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean also comes with the voice-assistant Google Now, which can offer you real-time recommendations and reminders.
Samsung devices have begun receiving their Jelly Bean updates as the Korean company tries to give its users the latest and greatest against Apple's juggernauts, the iPhone 5 and iPad.
Their flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S3, recently began receiving its Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update in countries such as Poland and Greece. For a list of Jelly Bean release dates by region, check out YouMobile's real-time schedule.
Their Galaxy Note 2 phablet will also begin launching in international markets at the beginning of October, and will come with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Samsung has also stated that the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy S Advance, Galaxy S2 LTE, Galaxy Music, Galaxy Chat, Galaxy Ace 2, Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Ace Plus, Galaxy mini 2, and Galaxy S DUOS should all be receiving Jelly Bean updates "soon."
