Sometime in the middle of last month, we were treated to news that the Sony Xperia S would be on the receiving end of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update before March is over, but now that we are well into the middle of the month of April with no Jelly Bean in sight for the Xperia S, you can be sure that owners of the Xperia S are starting to be a disgruntled bunch. Thanks to a leaked update roadmap for the French carrier SFR, it seems that the Jelly Bean update for the Xperia S will at long last, launch later next month – that is, May.
The Sony Xperia S was first launched in February last year with Android 2.3 Gingerbread in tow, before it was on the receiving end of the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system update down the road before being given confirmation that it too, will also be upgraded to Jelly Bean when the time is right. Of course, the Xperia S would not go beyond Jelly Bean, so do expect it to sit out of the Key Lime Pie treatment.

It has been some time since a raft of Samsung Galaxy S2 models over different US carriers received the Android Jelly Bean update, where they were bumped up to enjoy the benefits of Google Now and Project Butter. Well, it seems that the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket does not want to get left behind in this party, which is why it too, has received the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update, receiving all the goodness of Google Now and Project Butter alongside expandable and actionable notifications that folks have come to know and love for some time already.
If you are still rocking on to your old faithful, the smartphone that is better known as the Samsung Galaxy S2, then those of you who are subscribers of T-Mobile and owners of the handset might want to take note that T-Mobile has already updated the Galaxy S2 support page earlier this morning, where Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean has been made available.
If you happen to live in Europe and have the LG Optimus 4X HD in your pocket (or handbag, you get what I mean), then it is time to sit up and take notice. It seems that the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update has finally arrived, where it catered for folks living in the Czech Republic first, before it hit the rest of the continent. Of course, this version of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update is available only for handsets purchased in Europe in their SIM-free and unlocked form.
Sprint introduced the Android Jelly Bean for a variant of the LG Optimus G in March this year, and it seems that rival mobile carrier AT&T is going to follow in their footsteps as well, serving up a nice dose of Jelly Bean goodness for the LG Optimus G. Of course, there was no official fanfare or announcement made, although there were owners of the LG Optimus G who ride with AT&T and they have shared a fair amount of tips as well as screenshots like the one you see above, showing that this is no belated April Fool’s joke, but rather, the real deal itself.
So, you are a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 (granted, the Galaxy Ace series did not really do all that well compared to the Galaxy S range). Well, today is a good day despite having fallen for a fair number of April Fool’s jokes and gags, considering how the Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is about to be bumped up to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean as the operating system of choice. As long as your smartphone bears the model number GT-i8160, you are good to go.
