It seems like only yesterday Samsung was busy rolling-out its first Android 4.1 Jelly Bean updates for the Galaxy S III. However, the firm already has its sights set on the future and wants to get there fast.
A popular suite of apps for the Galaxy Note products, known as 'Premium Suite', has been deployed and is already heading to Galaxy S III devices as we speak, along with Android 4.1.2. You'll find the following new features bundled within the update:
- Page Buddy - Automatic move to a page upon earphone insertion and other actions for quick music access
- Contextual Menu - Option to rearrange app lists to show most used first, either on the main menu or in drop-downs
- Contextual Tag - Images automatically tagged with date, place and weather
- Multi Window - Array of apps that can be viewed in split-screen, accessed through a slide-out menu
- AutoShare ShotPairing using NFC - Links devices at tap so that a photo taken on one phone is instantly shared with another
- Reader Mode - Kindle-like Article Mode, prioritises text layout and readability on webpages
- Facebook Lock Ticker - Access Facebook newsfeeds from the lock screen
What's more is, this isn't all the firm has to offer, however we'll have to stay tuned for the next video. Samsung is believed to be holding back some features, as well, for the Android 4.2 update that is due early next year. Not a bad deal S III owners.
