Samsung’s anticipated Berlin Unpacked event is quickly approaching, with the center of the show likely to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. What’s even more important for Galaxy S3 users, though, is what is going to happen in the aftermath of the event. Sometime after the Unpacked Event, Samsung Galaxy S3 is getting an official upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean- though that really comes as no surprise to Mobile Magazine. The update is expected to roll out internationally to several different countries, though it unclear exactly when the U.S. and Canada will receive the update on their LTE-capable Galaxy S3 variants.

What can you expect with the upgrade? Obviously the essential changes like speed improvements and Google Now, the Siri-like voice search assistant, are some of the big changes. Beyond Jelly Bean specific changes, the update will also have improvements to the TouchWiz UI such as a dormant mode for improved notifications and alert management. The TouchWiz UI will also add an easy mode that will allow for a simpler home-screen experience.

With just a week or so away from an official upgrade to the latest version of Android, an already appealing smartphone has now become even better. For those that are interested in purchasing a Galaxy S3, check out the deals at Amazon Wireless from a variety of different carriers.

For current S3 owners, how excited are you about getting your hands on Jelly Bean?

It seems that Samsung is once again preparing for a special “Unpacked” Event, this time in Berlin. While many companies choose to use major events like CES, IFA and MWC for their unveils, recently Samsung has done its own thing and anytime an Unpacked event is announced we know a major announcement is just around the corner. The latest Berlin Unpacked event will be held on August 29^th at 19:00 GMT+2, and it sounds like the Galaxy Note 2 is going to be the focus of the show.

Samsung hasn’t officially talked about what products are going to make their way to the Berlin special event, but the presence of a stylus placed on the Unpacked long seems to hint that a device will show off with the support of a stylus accessory, which could mean a very different products, but much of the online techie world seems set on the idea that the Note 2 will be shown alongside the Note 10.1.

The Samsung Galaxy Note is one of the most popular products that Samsung has to offer with its unique “phablet” design, and so here’s to hoping that the Galaxy Note 2 does truly take the show. Besides the Note 2, what else would you like to possibly see at the Berlin Unpacked event?
