Samsung start making of Jelly Bean test firmwares for the Galaxy Ace 2

Follow: Firmware news Firmware news
fruity jelly beans

Samsung is going to update the Galaxy Ace 2 in the near future but when? Today SamMobile received a couple of screenshots of a pre-release firmware for the GT-I8160 Galaxy Ace 2. The Galaxy Ace 2 is a good selling mid-range Android smartphone by Samsung and is expected to get an Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update around March / April. We think it is good to see Samsung started the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for the Galaxy Ace 2. The Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 is not the only mid-range Android device to get Android 4.1.2. Earlier leaked out that Samsung will update the Galaxy Beam, Galaxy Music, Galaxy Chat, Galaxy Ace Plus and the Galaxy Mini 2 as well.  All android devices by Samsung will get the new TouchWiz Nature UX interface. Of course this will be a downgraded version of the Galaxy S III.

    This is good news for Ace2 owner’s. Hope to see leak version soon. Ace2 like 2012, dual core without even ICS by far, deserves this update. Hope every other user’s(n7000 and ace+) get their updates too.

    flash_bboy, Jelly Bean (simplified version of it) will work just fine on Mini 2. Samsung releases new low-end phones with Jelly Bean, so there’s no reason for it not to work on Mini 2.

    This is good news if true, the trouble is the Google machine is about to replace 4.1.2. with 4.2. so now we will be back where we started, just a tad better off for our money , ’cause the Ace II is classed as a budget phone if we get this update that will be it !! as we are already seeing the previous model ace is stuck with gingerbread ….

    now a hope from samsung of Jelly Bean for ACE PLUS had been given up…now samsung can release JB any time they want … cyanogenmod 10 has been ported by 2 persons … a very hats off to them that they just tried for us… So rather than wasting time on Sammobile Plz support this 2 guys as they are trying Hard to make Jelly Bean Port for our device….and A very Very Big Shame For Samsung’s JB Developers..
