Posted in: Today's Chili
A pretty high number of Samsung devices have recently been getting the Android Jelly Bean treatment as we recently reported the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy Tab 7.0 and Galaxy Ace 2 have all received their respective updates. It looks like we can add another Samsung device to the list as Sprint is announcing the Galaxy Victory 4G LTE will be receiving Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
The Galaxy Victory 4G LTE’s Jelly Bean update has started to roll out to devices earlier this morning, so if you’re a Sprint subscriber who has the device sitting on your desk, then you can expect the update to hit your device soon. The Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update will add a number of new capabilities such as the inclusion of Swype, new notifications for incoming SMS and MMS messages and the grouping of notifications coming from the same application. Victory users will also be able to voice type without the need of an Internet connection, the creation and management of Google+ events and even indoor walking directions within Google Maps.

If faster connections on your phone is more of a priority to you over hardware specs, then you might be interested to learn that Sprint has announced a new LTE handset that won’t break the bank and will be compatible with the carrier’s new LTE network. Dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE, this is a mid-ranged handset that will set customers back $99 on a new two year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. So we’re sure that some of you are wondering what will you be getting for your $99? Well, would-be customers can expect to find a 4” display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor under the hood, a 5MP rear-facing camera, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, NFC, Google Wallet support, S Voice, S Beam, AllShare Play, 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded via microSD, 1GB of RAM and it will run on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Not the most amazing phone we’ve seen to date with phones like the HTC One X and the Samsung Galaxy S3 out there, but for $99 it seems like it could be value for money, especially if 4G LTE connectivity was what you were after.
