Galaxy Note is yet another high-end device from Samsung which is set to get a taste of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean platform soon, accompanied by a nice range of other enhancements.

The South Korean mobile phone maker has already detailed its plans to upgrade the smartphone, and has also provided users with a glimpse at what will be included in the new software release, called Premium Suite.

Thus, in addition to the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean platform version and all the performance improvements it has to offer, the new software release will deliver some of the features that Galaxy Note II users already enjoy on their devices.

The most important of them is the Multi-Window feature, which will enable users to perform multiple tasks on the screen at the same time, without having to switch between apps.

Furthermore, the new update will deliver the Photo Note / Photo Frame feature to users, so that they would be able to add handwritten notes on the front or back of their photos.

The update will also offer them the option to crop an image from any screen to save or share via Easy Clip, along with the Paper Artist app, which will deliver a series of editing effects for photo manipulation.

Other enhancements in the new Premium Suite include:

- Popup Note / Video / Browser - Popup Note, which allows users to instantly and conveniently write down directions, phone numbers, and other information while on a call. Popup Note will intuitively open when you pull out S Pen or double tap the screen. Popup Video and Browser allow users to watch videos or browse the web while performing other tasks.

- Handwriting on S Planner/ Email - Send handwritten notes via Email or handwrite memos to yourself in S Planner. Like a post card, you can send your emotional feeling now via Email with handwritten notes. Like your paper planner, you can write down your tasks in a more personal and intuitive way.

- Enhanced S Note - More amusing effects & new templates were added. Use Sketch effect for various photo effect and image filters with Color Picker, you can pick any color you want directly from any images and draw with it.

The Android 4.1 Jelly Bean platform release will also provide a faster, smoother and more fluid experience to users, while also enabling them to take full advantage of Google Now on their devices.
