Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1

It's been almost two months since Samsung has quietly kicked off the deployment of the Jelly Bean upgrade for Galaxy Note 10.1 in Europe.

We reported back in early November that the South Korean handset maker had started the rollout of the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update to all Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 units in Germany.

Obviously, we assumed the update would slowly be released in other countries as well, but it looks like it took Samsung no less than two months to be able to offer the upgrade in the UK.

All in all, the folks over at AndroidOS have just been tipped on the availability of Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for Galaxy Note 10.1 in the UK.

Moreover, the rollout of the update started in India as well, though we're still waiting for confirmations from Galaxy Note 10.1 owners who received the Jelly Bean upgrade.

Oddly enough, the previous update was about 300MB in size, whereas the current Jelly Bean update is 480MB in size.

It is also worth mentioning that Galaxy Note 10.1 owners can download and upgrade to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean via Samsung Kies desktop software.

Additionally, the update can also be downloaded OTA (over the air), but we do not recommend it due to the size of the package.

Word is Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean upgrade is pushed through in stages, which means not all Galaxy Note 10.1 owners will receive it at the same time.

Keep in mind that this update contains important improvements to browser, gallery and camera applications, as well as to notifications.

After upgrading, users will be able to take advantage of all Project Butter improvements, new apps and services, including Google Now and enhanced keyboard with offline voice typing support.

As with all Android updates, we expect Jelly Bean for Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 to be rolled out in other countries as well, in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for more info on the matter.

I can confirm the British update, just installed it! Enjoying the added premium suite features and Paper Artist app already!

I can confirm this - the official UK download is running on my note 10.1 right now. Loving Paper Artist and Premium Suite, but have found that rather than speed it up, if anything this has slowed my performance. I uninstalled some apps, restarted and cleared my RAM, but still noticeabley more lag than before, particularly on keyboard and opening apps. Hope someone works out what's making this happen ASAP.

Unbelievably slow after the update, it's practically crippled my note and rendered it useless!
Polaris is unuseable, notifications won't go away and the split windows function has vanished.
Wish I'd never updated!

I have received the update for my note 10.1 in India. But when I restart the device, it does not show as "Premium Suite". Do we need to purchase it separately?

I haven't recieved anything in the UK yet. Kies wasn't showing anything either so I guess my wait continues :@ I'll have to wait wait a bit longer before I can actually use it for what I needed it for as the programs I use on my S3 are no longer usable on ice cream.

I'm currently upgrading my Note, but so far it hasn't rebooted ever since I've pressed the button for rebooting (so far it's been 4 days..) Am I just overacting (because it's the longest upgrade of an OS that I've ever seen) or is there really something wrong? Thanks ^^

Note 10.1 Middle East version Jelly Bean update is now available. I just updated mine. First it didn't update OTA, I just discovered that it is already available after I plug it in my laptop to make a backup (and also I was planning to flash it using other regions ROM). Thank goodness I waited and replug my device after it installed some device software and could not be recognize by kies.
