The lucky ones received the update notification yesterday. On some days, anyone can install a virtual keyboard with Android more precise, intelligent application updates, notifications central fuller voice assistant and other improvements. The Jelly Bean is also more agile, thanks to Butter Project, an attempt by Google to make the experience more Android "fast, fluid and smooth."
The update will be distributed over the air by the end of the month to the owners of Galaxy Nexus (including the version with LTE connectivity), Nexus S, Motorola Xoom and Nexus 7. The warning has not appeared on my Galaxy Nexus, but it is common practice for manufacturers to release updates in "waves" to prevent a failure affects many users at once. There is a trick to jump the queue, but still the update is not guaranteed.
Brazilians have a problem: besides the fact that the unit is sold with the name Galaxy X, due to legal problems with Nexus Telecom, the national version has an Android modified to meet legal standards and includes a widget to the information carrier and a shortcut to the manual in Portuguese, among other changes that I did not notice. The Galaxy X does not receive updates directly from Google, is the responsibility of Samsung, which does not seem to be very fast, while the Nexus was in 4.0.4, the X was on Android 4.0.2.
As the Galaxy X and Galaxy Nexus have the same hardware, you can change the ROM to start receiving updates from the official Google. And who has not had the courage to perform the procedure, when it will receive the update? The Rene Fraga, Google Discovery came in contact with the assistance of Brazil and the Samsung was not the best answer:
Samsung already has in its Roadmap Android devices with the new OS Jelly Bean, and this platform will launch soon. With respect to upgrades of devices already on the market, our focus now is to bring the Ice Cream for the entire portfolio Sandwidch compatible with this version.
That is, you will receive the update sometime, but the focus of Samsung at the moment is to take the delay of the devices that have not yet received the Ice Cream Sandwich. Be patient, and while waiting, read our hands-on to get in on the news of the Jelly Bean.
