 "Official Jelly Bean update out for Samsung Galaxy S Advance smartphone")
Those eagerly awaiting the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for their Samsung Galaxy S Advance smartphones can now rejoice – the official update is finally here. The update, with base firmware XXLQE, is currently up for grabs for those in Germany, Poland and Ukraine, and is expected to arrive in other European countries soon. That said, there is no saying as to when it will arrive on our side of the world.
The update is available through the Samsung KIES server. Those in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong, however, are not entitled to the update.
The Samsung Galaxy S Advance, like the Samsung Galaxy Chat smartphone that received the Jelly Bean update over the weekend, was part of the list of Samsung devices that were slated for a Jelly Bean upgrade. Interestingly, in November last year, Samsung stated that the smartphone would receive the upgrade in January 2013.
