The hotly-anticipated Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for Samsung Galaxy Note II has been previously delayed in Canada a few times, but it looks like the update is now available for download.

The folks at SamMobile, the source of all official ROMs, have just confirmed Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for Samsung Galaxy Note II has been released in Canada.

According to them, Galaxy Note II owners will be able to upgrade their devices OTA (over the air) or by using Samsung Kies desktop software.

The latest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, build JZO54K, brings lots of new features and improvements meant to enhance even further users’ overall experience.

There have been new additions to the Notification toggles and Multi-view feature can now be easily disabled if users do not wish to take advantage of what it has to offer.

Furthermore, the Notification panel can now be customized and the brightness slider in the Notification panel can be disabled.

Some improvements to the stock browser have been included as well, so users might notice the application is now smoother than before.

Several cosmetic changes have also been added, such as the status bar which is now black instead of grey, and the new ink effect on lockscreen.

Last but not least, the update brings continuous input in Samsung Keyboard, such as Swipe or Android 4.2 keyboard, as well as a new group cast application.

Keep in mind that the update is expected to arrive for unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note II devices, as well as for the following carriers: SaskTel, TELUS, Rogers and Bell Mobility.

Although the unlocked version of Galaxy Note II might be the first to receive the update, we can expect all carriers mentioned earlier to announce the immediate availability of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean upgrade. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
