After all the custom/unofficial ROMs and the fuss about the handset not getting the Jellybean update because of its hardware configuration, the long wait is finally over as Samsung brings the highly anticipated upgrade to their ex-flagship smartphone.

The roll out started in Spain with other regions pledged to follow soon afterwards. Unlike the ICS update, this one brings significant difference to the ageing handset and brings it at par with its younger siblings (in the OS standpoint at least). Details of the update can be found here.

Local roll-out date remains a mystery until now, but we’ll update this post once we get news about it. For the time being, it’s best if you check your phone for the said update once in a while and maybe tip us once you have it.

The Samsung Galaxy S2, is yet to receive its much awaited Android Jelly Bean update but Samsung Korea has already released some details on what the 2011 Android flagship is going to get from the upgrade.

Listed below are the major changes after the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean software upgrade.

1. Platform upgrade from Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
- improved Home screens and improved scrolling performance (thanks to Project Butter)
- Improved usability for some applications

2. Preloaded applications
- Add Help
- Add Google+
- Add +Talk
- Add Play Book
- Add Play Movie

3. Newly added/improved functions
- Add Easy mode, Block mode
- Improved Camera functions: function like Pause while recording and more
- Add Smart Stay
- New functions like Pop-up play and more
- Improved some functions & applications usability

The features mentioned above will surely put some smiles on the faces of Galaxy S2 owners. The downside though is that the update will reduce the device’s internal storage from 12GB to 11GB (probably for the 16GB version) and will consume more RAM due to a new system partition. But that’s a small price to pay, right?

Samsung didn’t give any details when they’re going to rollout the update but it’s going to be available via Kies (no OTA) once it arrives.
