Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 starts rolling out


Every Samsung device that did not run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean from the box was suppose to get the update around July or August but you probably read rumors about Samsung skipping the said version of Android to the Galaxy Note II and the Galaxy S III. Those two devices are expected to skip 4.2 and directly get Android 4.3 and that probably would happen a month or so after the Note III has been announced (or maybe within September). Anyway, all the other Samsung devices, including those in the photo, the Galaxy Note 8.0 and the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 are reported to have started receiving the said update.



The Galaxy Note 8.0 (LTE), meaning the LTE enabled version of the tablet, in the UK have started getting the update either via OTA or Samsung Kies. The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 on the other hand has started receiving it in France. For the Galaxy Tab, the update seems to be rolling out on to the 3G variant of the tablet. So, if your in UK and owns a Note 8 or in France with a Tab 2 7, it might be good to check your devices if the said update has already arrived on your device. Cheers!
