Samsung has started rolling out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for Galaxy S II users across Europe. We don’t have the official schedule, but reports suggest users in multiple countries have started receiving the new firmware.
However, it’s not an over-the-air affair, and you’ll rather have to install Samsung Kies software in order to get all of the goodies like improved notifications, Project Butter enhancements and Google Now. Plus, there are some of Sammy’s own updates included all of which should deliver a better user experience.
As usual, we advise you to backup your key information prior to pushing the button. It should be a straightforward process but something could always go wrong.
Do let us know whether you got the update and how you like it. Comments form is all yours…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
