Samsung has just announced that it begins with the updates of two of the tablets it has on the market: Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and Galaxy Tab 8.9. In both cases, the models that have WiFi connectivity are the lucky ones, so those who have those that include 3G still have some patience.
The model with a 7-inch screen (GT-P3110) receives the version Jelly Bean of your operating system, specifically 4.1.1.

The firmware version is P3110XXCLK5, which you can obtain at this link, and which has already begun to be launched via OTA in France (in the rest of Europe it will gradually reach all countries). This arrival confirms what has been speculated since September, when it began to comment that the Jelly Bean update for Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 would be a reality.
