Samsung has a belated Christmas gift for owners of the original
Galaxy Note — the release of the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update for the
device.
The update, courtesy of Samsung’s Android 4.1 Premium Suite, has
several benefits aside from the Jelly Bean update, the company says.
A multi-window feature enables users to view and perform multiple
tasks on the same screen without transitions and a popup note allows
users to write down information while on a call.
“Popup note will intuitively open when you pull out S Pen or double tap the screen,” the Samsung website reads. “Popup video and browser allow users to watch video or browse the Web while per forming other tasks.”
Photo note and photo frame allows users to write notes on the front
or back of their photos, while easy clip lets users crop text or an
image from any screen “to save or share easily.”
Paper artist allows the user to choose from various picture-editing
effects, while the suite’s S planner gives users the ability to send
handwritten notes to themselves. The enhanced S note enables users to
create notebooks with images, videos and templates.
“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 website reads.
Meanwhile, the Korea Times is reporting Samsung anticipates shipping
510 million cellphones in 2013 — a 20 percent hike over this year.
An executive from one of Samsung’s major suppliers told the Korea
Times “of the 510 million handsets it plans to sell, 390 million are
slated as Smartphones and 120 million, feature and budget phones.”
Also, Samsung announced Dec. 27 it has sold more than 10 million
Galaxy devices in India since debuting the Galaxy S in the country in
June 2010.
Although Samsung did not reveal the individual success of it devices,
the company did say the Galaxy Y series, Note series and SIII together
contributed more than 50 per cent of the sales.
