The Samsung
Galaxy Nexus of Verizon and Sprint will be the first devices to receive the
Jelly Bean Android 4.1 update.
Google
announced that the Android 4.1 update will be rolled out to the HSPA+ models of
the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is being sold through the online store of the
company. In addition to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, a number of other devices may
also receive the latest variant of the Android OS.
Among the
devices that the Google specifically indicated that will receive the Android
4.1 update were the Motorola Xoom Tablet and the Nexus S. The Google Nexus 7 tablet will feature the Jelly Bean Android 4.1 out of the box.
Google had
indicated that all Galaxy Nexus units will receive the Android 4.1 update,
which would include the variants offered by Verizon and Sprint. This is welcome
news for owners of the devices as some may have thought that their devices will
be receiving the update at a much later date since the first update was only
released after a number of months ince it became available in the market.
The Android
4.1 update was initially unveiled during the I/O event of Google last month and
it will reportedly offer some enhancements to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus units
being offered by Verizon and Sprint. A number of new features will be offered
by the Android 4.1 update including a predictive keyboard that facilitates
typing, new widgets, and offline Voice Typing.
In addition
to these features, the Android 4.1 update will also bring the Google Now tool,
faster user interface, an enhanced Voice Search and redesigned notifications.
