T-Mobile will soon unveil the Samsung Galaxy Note II and the Korean company wants it launch with Jelly Bean on board. Apparently Sammy is already testing the software and have been sending regular updates to folks with Note II units.
According to SamMobile, the company compiles test builds every 4-5 days and distributes them to their device testers via OTA updates. As I’m writing this, lucky Note II owners are playing with the firmware version T889UVALIC, which has been compiled on September 15th.
In other words, by the time T-Mobile starts selling the new Galaxy Note, it should have a stable build of the latest version of Android. We’ll let you know if hear something new on this, like when other operators will get the phablet, as well. Stay tuned…
