Samsung Korea details Jelly Bean update for Galaxy S2, date is still unknown!
There’s not much information about the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for Galaxy S2 device, but now Samsung Korea has released official information about the update. Still there’s something missing, the launch date. First information is less positive as internal storage will be reduced from 12GB to 11GB, thanks to the new update partition. Also the update will be available only via KIES, with no OTA update option available.
Now the positive stuff. Android 4.1 for Galaxy S2 will include new features, such as Project Butter and Google Now. In addition to the new features there’s going to be some additional applications too, Google+, Google Play Books and Google Play Movies will be pre-loaded.
Check out the full features list from the source link after the break.

Photos of Huawei’s 6.1-inch Ascend Mate leaked again ahead of CES unveiling. Photos were leaked by Chinese site MyDrivers. In these new leaked photos Huawei’s staggering 6.1-inch Ascend Mate is seen alongside with, another Huawei device expected to be unveiled in CES, the 5-inch Ascend D2. These new photos also shows that Ascend Mate has onscreen buttons and curved back, which makes the device much more easier to hold in hand. Supposed thickness of the device is about 9.9mm.
Huawei is making Ascend Mate in order to compete with Samsung’s Galaxy Note lineup, that has not seen any actual competition so far. Of course there’s also LG’s 5.5-inch Intuition, but it hasn’t been very popular. Check out more photos and specs after the break.

Rumor: Next generation Galaxy S device to have S Pen and launch in April 2013?!
Next generation Samsung Galaxy S device is rumored to have S Pen, according to report from Enuri. Galaxy S(IV) is also going launch in April 2013, this is company’s action in order to bring Galaxy S device line closer to Note lineup. Enuri also posted some pretty nefty features that Galaxy S(IV) is going to have, including 5-inch AMOLED display with screen resolution of 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, a Exynos 5440 quad-core processor, a 13MP camera on the back and finally the smartphone is only 9.1mm thick.
For me, including S Pen in Galaxy S lineup would not make any sense, i highly doubt than Samsung would include S Pen.
