It wasn't too long ago that Motorola revealed its planned Android Jelly Bean update schedule, and it seems that the company has stuck to its word, as Motorola Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR Maxx users are reporting that Android 4.1.2 is rolling out.
According to posters in Android Central's forums, the Droid RAZR and RAZR Maxx started receiving an Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update OTA on Dec. 24, Christmas Eve.
The update is apparently a large one, coming in around 300MB, but may have been a premature release, according to a report from The Examiner. Many users seem to be complaining about extremely slow download speeds and even download failures. What this could mean is that the update was accidentally released since neither Motorola or Verizon have official support pages for the upgrade.
Either way, the fact remains that some users out there were able to grab Android 4.1.2 for their Droid RAZR or Droid RAZR Maxx. The build is essentially finished, so it shouldn't take long for Verizon and Motorola to push out the update in less clunky manner.
Back in October Motorola released an updated ETA for Android updates to certain devices. Motorola stated that the Droid RAZR M, Droid RAZR HD, Droid RAZR Maxx HD, and Atrix HD would be the four U.S. Motorola smartphones to receive Android Jelly Bean before 2012 is over. While Motorola isn't doing as prolific a job as Samsung, the Android updates are still a welcome sight to Verizon users who usually have abnormally long waits for newer versions of Android.
Let us know if you've managed to grab the Jelly Bean update for the Motorola Droid RAZR or Droid RAZR Maxx and where you're located.
