Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update arriving on Sprint this October 24th If you happen to rock to the Samsung Galaxy S3 from Sprint, then you would be pleased to hear that the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be made available to users from tomorrow onwards, which happens to be October 25th. The update will arrive Over The Air, and it will be rolled out in stages, so not all of Sprint’s customers using the Galaxy S3 will be able to enjoy the smoothness of Project Butter, aka Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Having said that, being patient will still pay off, ultimately speaking. Sprint claims that it will be a matter of a few weeks for the update known as L710VPALJ7 to arrive on the circuit boards of all Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphones which have been branded with the Sprint name.

The leaked version of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for Sprint owners made available earlier this month will be different from the one that the carrier has in store, so for all you Sprint Galaxy S3 owners out there, have you received your update, and are you pleased with the experience so far?
