While the Samsung Galaxy S II has since been eclipsed by the fantastic Galaxy S III, Samsung is showing no signs of putting it out to pasture, as rumours indicate an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is on the way.

With close to 30 million Galaxy S II handsets sold since its launch last year and the device still proving more than capable of running Google latest OS, the news will be greatly appreciated by Android fans.

According to Samsung fan-site Sam Mobile, Samsung is currently testing Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S II, with a release of the new update rumoured to be scheduled for September or October 2012.

Having used Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the Google Nexus 7, we’ve keen to see just how well it functions compared to the already-excellent Android 4.0 OS when it hits our Galaxy S II’s.

Will you be updating your Galaxy S II when the Android 4.1 update arrives? Let us know which features you’re most keen to try, by posting in the comments below.
