If it is sometimes easy to get confused with the different versions of Android that are available: 2.2 Froyo, 2.3 Gingerbread, 3.0 Honeycomb, 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4.1 and 4.2 Jelly Bean, etc, imagine how difficult it is sometimes to guide yourself with the subversions. And it is that, Galaxy S3, which has already been updated to Jelly Bean, it seems that it will receive in December A new update, this time for Subversion 4.1.2 Android Jelly Bean, which would bring the news that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 already enjoys.
That is the information that we have and that is filtered from TG spot, where they say that the South Koreans have already prepared the new version for the device and are just waiting launchDecember seems like the most appropriate date for Samsung to release the new Android 4.1.2. XNUMX Jelly Bean update to users, given that its arrival in November would seem somewhat hasty.
The most interesting feature that Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean would bring to it Samsung Galaxy S3 will MultiView, which is now available for the Galaxy Note 2, and which will allow us to have different screens open, each one running its own process. We are talking about the true multitasking.
However, there are still some doubts surrounding this feature in the Samsung Galaxy S3. The South Korean phablet, the Galaxy Note 2, has a RAM memory of 2 GB, more than enough to run several tasks at the same time. However, the Galaxy S3, in its international version, which is the one we have in Spain, has a RAM memory of 1 GB, half that of its brother. This detail makes us wonder if the Multi View will work as smoothly on the Galaxy S3 as it does on the Note 2. On the other hand, there is also the detail of the screenWhen it comes to having two windows open, a phablet screen is much more useful than a smartphone screen.
In any case, if Samsung has seen fit to launch this feature for the Galaxy S3 it is because It runs smoothly and will expand the device's options. The new update should arrive in December.
Key new features coming with Android 4.1.2
In addition to Multi View, the update incorporates improvements to fluency through Project Butter, Google Now and smart features like Smart Stay, Pop up Play, Direct Call y smart rotation.

The deployment usually starts by region; in fact, there were firmwares identified as I9300XXELKC (PDA/MODEM) with CSC I9300OXXELK4 and compilation JZO54K, associated with the first packages released in Poland (changes 566833). It is expected to arrive via OTA or connecting the phone to Choose, subject to availability by country and operator.
Safe installation paths: OTA, Kies, or Odin (manual)
The recommended method is OTA or Kies. If you opt for the method manual with Odin, make a backup, charge the mobile above the 75% (better with SAI), installs drivers/Kies, active USB debugging, go into Download Mode (Volume down + Home + Power), load in PDA/AP the file . Tar.md5 officer of GT-I9300 obtained from sources such as SamMobile, leaves only marked Auto Reboot y F. Reset Time (without Division), connect the phone, check that Odin shows COM y added!!, press Start and wait for PASS!. For clean installations, from Recovery can you do wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache y wipe dalvik/battery stats (At CWM if you had it), although it is optional.
As a context, the Galaxy mini S3 also received Android 4.1.2 (builds like DXALL7) with similar improvements, although its packages are not valid for international S3. And if a later version causes problems, it is possible back to 4.1.2 with Odin loading the correct previous firmware, following the same precautions. Any manual process entails risks; act at your own risk.
The update reinforces the value of the device with real multitasking, smoother performance and useful utilities in everyday use, whether it arrives via OTA/Kies or a well-executed manual installation.
