Galaxy S2 released back in 2011 stamped the authority of Samsung Galaxy S series and lead Samsung’s ascendancy to the high pedestal of Smartphone world. It was declared smartphone of the year 2012 by World Mobile Congress’s Global mobile awards and also scored high on almost all leading critic ratings.
With a huge user base, it makes sense for Samsung to update the software to the latest Android 4.1.2 Jellybean update giving the users the best support experience as well as taste of the latest OS flavour. It would also enable the users a ‘familiar’ continuous device ecosystem when they plan to upgrade their device.
The rollout is in phases so it might take time to arrive at your device depending on the region, network operator etc but the good news is it would definitely hit your S2.
The update also brings Nature UX Interface that Samsung first unveiled in Galaxy S III along with updated TouchWiz UI.
