There’s been a lot surround Samsung’s update for the Galaxy S III and there has been a number of leaks, the update recently started to roll out all across Europe. Now, Sprint has managed to become the first US carrier to roll the update out which, is pretty good of them really – especially considering how Verizon handle updates on even the Galaxy Nexus. Well done Sprint!
Moving on, the update comes with everything you’d expect from a Jelly Bean update and comes with some extras bolted on to the existing build of TouchWiz. Some of the highlights from the update include:
- New live camera and camcorder filters: warm vintage, cold vintage, black and white, sepia, color highlights (blue, green, red/yellow) which will help making photos look even better, I’m sure!
- You can now pause and resume whilst recording video which makes post editing a lot easier or unneccesarry altogether.
- There’s a new low-light mode in the camera, which will help produce stunning results in the camera whilst taking HDR photos and more.
