More details have emerged of exactly what the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update brings to the Samsung Galaxy S3, after the phone-maker started to make itavailable across Europe late last week.
Landing initially on unlocked versions of the S3, the software bump adds some of the choicest features of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to the company’s flagship phone. And courtesy of official Samsung blog, Samsung Tomorrow, we’ve now got a full rundown of its bountiful goodies.As well as the SmartScreen multiple window feature and PaperCamera function that gives snaps a Pop Art sheen of which we already knew, we’re also in line for Camera Best Face. This takes five photos for each image that users snap and enables owners to choose the best face for each person featured in the picture.Also new is a low-light shot option, an easy mode intended to simplify smartphone usage for rookies and Reader Mode, which enables owners to control the size of the text on their browser and share the page just by touching the screen.
UK networks have yet to announce plans to push out Android 4.1.2 to carrier-branded handsets. However, because tests will have to be carried out to ensure the new software works with their proprietary services and apps, we don’t advise you hold your breath.
