Still nothing in the way of a cut-and-dried
due date, though.
Samsung has released details of what to expect when the Galaxy
S2 is updated to Android 4.1.2, as owners of unlocked versions of the ageing
handset look forward to what promises to be a very welcome platform bump.
In an official missive courtesy of Samsung S. Korea, which was
brought to Western eyes by Sam Mobile, the phone-maker confirmed that
improvements the Jelly Bean version of Android will bring to the two-year-old
smartie include enhanced home screens and smoother scrolling.
Also incoming are a suite of new apps, including Google+,
Google+ Talk and Google Play Movies, Samsung announced, as well as the
intelligent sleep mode dubbed Smart Stay that debuted on the S3 and camera
functions such as pause while recording.
The upgrade, a due
date for which remains firmly under wraps and was previously expected
late last year will only be available
via Kies rather than as over-the-air update.
It’s not yet clear whether the OS revamp will
make it to network-branded UK editions of the S2. But if it does, expect the
usual delay while your carrier ensures the software works with its proprietary
services – a process that could add months to your wait.
