Although no official dates for the update have been mentioned sources say that Android 4.1 for the S lll is almost ready and could be with us in August or September and as for the Galaxy S ll the first test running JB on it has been a success and if the successful testing continues the S ll will get Jelly Bean despite being a slightly older device.
