Samsung Galaxy S II update to Android Jelly Bean starts rolling out

The Samsung Galaxy S II, the 4.3-inch Android flagship that launched in 2011, has started receiving the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.

The update has started arriving to the GT-I9100P model of the Galaxy S II, based on the Samsung Exynos 4210. Earlier, in March, Samsung started updating the GT-I9100G version of the S II, the one with a Texas Instruments chip.
