We already know that the Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update has started being rolled out across the world almost a couple of weeks ago. Users in India can now update their devices to Android 4.1.1. The update is available over-the-air or OTA, and your device should automatically notify you once the update is ready to apply. Alternatively you can update your device using Samsung’s PC software KIES.

The DDLJ1 OTA update is about 290MB in size, and in case you haven’t received the OTA notification yet, you can head over to Settings >> About Phone >> System Updates and tap Check Now to manually download the update. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is reportedly the smoothest and fastest version of the android yet. It has been tweaked to make the android experience simple and smart. It takes the efficiency and performance of the android 4.0 and hikes it up a couple of notches to give the android users a seamless, magical experience.

Some of the features worth a mention are:

  • The speed and ease of on-screen motions. The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean makes flipping between home screens and apps smooth and effortless
  • It is more responsive than the earlier version of Android. It adapts to orientation changes much faster and is equally responsive when switching between two apps
  • Due to vsync and triple buffering it is overall more consistent
  • The CPU is powered on because of the instant response to touch and powered off when not in use, thus maximizing battery life
  • Google Now, your own personal assistant is included along with Google voice search
  • The notifications system has been enhanced and includes expandable and actionable notifications

If you’re in India, and haven’t updated to Jelly Bean yet, go ahead and update your Galaxy S3 to 4.1.1 and enjoy the buttery smooth Jelly Bean experience.
