Users of Samsung Galaxy Note in India have been stuck to Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich since August last year. However, the long wait has come to an end now.

Samsung has started rolling out the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 in India in phases.  The South Korean company started rolling out the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update in February this year but it took almost four months for the company to get the update to the Indian market.

The update will bring many exciting and advanced features to the 5-inch phablet and at the same time it will improve the performance and user experience of the phone.

The Jelly Bean makes the Galaxy Note even more responsive by boosting its CPU instantly as soon as the touch screen of the phone gets in use, and turns it down when it is not in use. The process makes the phone's performance better and saves the battery life.

With the update, the noti­fications bar displays the full text of incoming SMS messages. When receiving an MMS, the photo in the notifi­cation can be viewed.

The user interface (UI) of the device gets really better with the update and navigating the device gets faster and more fluid, so moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless.

A swipe from the camera viewfi­nder lets the user quickly review the photos taken without having to leave the camera app.
Android 4.1.2 also customizes the home screen. Widgets can be placed on the screen with ease and everything else automatically moves to make room.

Here is a list of some more changes and features:

• Samsung S-Cloud services
• Improved camera features
• Complete user interface revamp to TouchWiz Nature UX
• Project Butter means incredibly smooth performance and greater stability
• New features include Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop-up Play
• Two home screen modes
• Google Now
