The Samsung Galaxy Nexus Verizon Jelly Bean update has arrived and it is expected to be rolled out in phases through Wi-Fi only for a limited period. Customers need to check the settings of their devices to see if the upgrade is available.
Users will have to hit the ‘System Upgrade’ notification to download the software upgrade over Wi-Fi. Talking about Google’s latest mobile platform, it is claimed to render the interface more fluid and intuitive as compared to the earlier versions. One of its highlighted features is Google Now that provides relevant information based on the time and location, pertaining to traffic status, train arrivals and so on.
The virtual keyboard functioning on Jelly Bean is said to proffer predictive text with the included smarter keyword attribute. This trait basically suggests the next word in a sentence and it should make typing a relatively faster affair. Utilities employing speech to text and voice technologies have also been improved and are said to work even in the case of interruption of the data connection.
All sorts of activities on the phone covering calls, messages, images and others are displayed on the phone’s notification bar. Users can respond to the corresponding text, email or calls directly from the notification screen. This mitigates the need to go through different widgets on the phone. The Galaxy Nexus was one of the first few devices to be eligible for the Android 4.1 upgrade.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus Verizon Jelly Bean update is now available and can be downloaded via Wi-Fi.
