Samsung rolls out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean software update for Galaxy S2 I9100G.

 Samsung has started pushing out the Android 4.1.2 (XXLSR) Jelly Bean update for its second generation Galaxy S series smartphone (model number I9100G), which was first shipped with Gingerbread software and upgraded to Android Ice Cream Sandwich version.

 The Jelly Bean software upgrade bundles an array of new features such as new user interface (UI), TouchWiz Nature UX, improved camera function, new lockscreen, Direct Call, Smart Stay, Pop-up Play, new Widgets from Galaxy S3, Home screen modes, new Notification bar and Google Now.

Users can gain complete control over the device and will be able to install custom firmwares which carry features that are not found in official builds. However, users can return to their stock firmware by unrooting the phone.
