The update is said to be enhancing the smartphone's performance, giving it better notifications and improving the battery life.

Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update brings 'Google Now' on Galaxy S2 devices.

Google Now tells you about the weather, traffic of your city and other things like your train timings or live scores. Apart from Google Now, the firmware update also improves the user interface (UI) of the devices with the help of smooth Project Butter. The Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update also allows the Samsung Galaxy S2 users to taste some of the TouchWiz features that debuted on the Samsung Galaxy S3, like Smart Stay, Direct Call, Pop-up-play, or Lockscreen shortcuts.

The update has already reached the Galaxy S2 devices in Canada, and users seem to be really happy with the performance of the device after the update.

"I'm in Canada and just got the update last week. The animations are definitely much brighter and smoother. I also have noticed longer battery life," a Galaxy S2 user from Canada said.

The Galaxy S2 comes with a 4.3-inch SUPER AMOLED Plus display and a dual-core Application processor. The smartphone is said to be the device which really gave a boost to Samsung's dreams of making a presence in the global samrtphone market.
