Jelly Bean testing begins for Samsung Galaxy S II and S III

There are very few things on Android junkies minds. For many their list is pretty simple right now. When will my Nexus 7 arrive and when will my current device get Jelly Bean. Not all devices will get Jelly Bean just as many did not and still will not get Ice Cream Sandwich. We know the GSM Galaxy Nexus, GSM Nexus S and Nexus 7 are already getting or have some sweet treats delivered. Among others, HTC has stated a few devices are in the works right along with ASUS and some of their tablets. What about the two big devices from Samsung that have made them billions?

We are talking about the Galaxy S II and the new Galaxy S III. According to Androidheadlines, both devices are already in the Jelly Bean testing phase and “Samsung is almost ready to update.” Now, that means Samsung is, that doesn’t mean T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or U.S. Cellular are. When Jelly Bean does roll out it will hit the International GSM devices first and then our beloved carriers will bloat it up and push it when they are darn good and ready. We have ever reason to believe the Galaxy SIII will get an update before the Galaxy S II and some carriers could forego a Jelly Bean update to the Galaxy S II all together in favor of selling more Galaxy S III devices.

No matter what our carriers end up doing, we know one thing for sure. When Jelly Bean is made available to these two devices via Samsung, the developers will be hard at work to make sure all variants can get some love. That is assuming you aren’t all already running CM10 by then anyways. Let’s just hope Samsung makes a better effort to get updates out then they have in the past.

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.

    Can’t wait! Not going with CM on this one, this device just has too many cool features on TW for me to give them up for a little more customization, and devs and themers are doing all the cool stuff to TW ROMs right now anyways, so I’m not missing out on the AOSP ICS experience now anyways, surely won’t be when JB drops for it!

      That’s kinda what I was thinking. I am still waiting till I can finally get one. But I have a feeling it should be plenty device without all the mods like I have had to do with my little old school Vibrant.

        Its always a toss up, but like these phones, Sammy does some amazing software things you would be force to get rid of if you ROM, but at same time you have to deal with the UI. Sucks.
