South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics is reportedly getting ready for the release of a major update for the owners of Galaxy Beam devices, providing them with all the benefits of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.

The handset, made available for purchase last year, is currently running under the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, yet Samsung considers it fit for Jelly Bean as well, UnwiredView reports.

No official info on when the second smartphone in Samsung’s lineup to have been released with a built-in projector will receive the update has been provided, but a leaked Android 4.1 build destined for it has already emerged online, it seems.

Apparently, the update will provide users with great performance enhancements and longer battery life, and could be ready for deployment by the end of July, though it remains to be seen when it will start arriving on smartphones.
