The release of the Android 4.1 update is apparently picking up speed as more devices are expected to receive it soon. Among the devices that are supposedly set to receive the Jelly Bean Android update include the recently-released Samsung Galaxy S3, the HTC One S, the HTC One X and the HTC One XL.

HTC recently confirmed the upcoming release of the Android 4.1 update for a number of its devices.

On the other hand, the evaluation made by Samsung for the Samsung Galaxy S3 hints at the possible release of the update for the device in the near future. The report also indicated that the South Korean company has also started evaluating the Android 4.1 update for the Samsung Galaxy S2, which was released into the market last year.

Aside from the smartphones, the Android 4.1 update is also set to be released to a number of Transformer tablets of Asus. Asus confirmed that the Transformer Pad, Transformer Pad Infinity, and Transformer Pad Prime are set to receive the Jelly Bean Android OS.

An earlier announcement by Samsung revealed that it will be releasing the Android 4.1update for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and the Samsung Nexus S. Reports have also indicated that the update has already been released to a number of Samsung Galaxy Nexus units although no reports have emerged on Samsung Nexus S units receiving the Android 4.1 update.

For users who may not have the patience to wait for the official release of the Android 4.1 update for their Samsung Galaxy S3 units, they can also risk using a hack for the device although this may result to the voiding of the warranty for the devices. Some of the Android 4.1 ports can be found at the XDA Developers forum.

For the moment no reports were available on the availability of the Android 4.1 update for LG or Motorola devices.
