7 New Features to be added on Samsung Galaxy S3 4 1 2 Jelly Bean Next Update

Good news to all Samsung Galaxy S3 Users out there! Samsung is now developing a new software built with lot of coolest features that you havent experience before on your devices. This features are going to be added on the next official Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean that has been reported to push in December.  The Android 4.1.2 is somehow leaked a couple of days ago, and some advance users already get the chance of sneaking inside the Jelly Bean 4.1.2.  Some features were mostly noticeable are much more likely from the features of the latest slate Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The below are the exciting features that you might want to be added into your Galaxy S3 devices.

1. Multi-View

Multi-View which allows users to run the window screen between two different apps to run like creating a text message while also browsing the web. This essentially a multi-tasking capabilities similar to the Galaxy Note 2.

2. Page Buddy

The Galaxy Note 2 has added home screens that appear when theyre needed and are denoted with corresponding icons in the page indicator row. For instance, when the S Pen is removed, a Pen Buddy page appears with a large widget for Samsungs note-taking application. Similarly, when earphones are connected, a page appears complete with music and video widgets. 

3. Smart rotation

To prevent instances where the screen unintentionally rotates, forcing you to turn it back, theres Smart rotation. This monitors your face and suppresses normal rotation if your face is tilted too.

4. Continuous input

A swipeable keyboard comes pre-installed on the Galaxy Note 2, and is enabled via the Continuous input option. You spell out each word by drawing a line from letter to letter. This works in any keyboard style or orientation.

5. Notification Panel

This mode lets you block calls, notifications, alarms and timers and the LED notification light, either all day or between certain hours. The block mode has an Allowed contacts feature so you can let chosen people bypass your blocking rules. Alternatively, this could be used to block nuisance callers.

6. Paper Artist

Galaxy note II S-Pen Coloring Application
A fun Photo color app For use with Galaxy Note with S-Pen or should work on other devices as well can also use your camera with it as well

7. New Gallery App

This not likely a Gallery that look like simple but it is very awesome Gallery apps that you might wanna say sorta cool.

Again those features are juts found from leaks version and nothing yet confirmed as good to be true, but let us hope so, for those features are already installed on Galaxy Note 2 and a chance on getting it on Galaxy S3 devices. We only wait for the official update from the company, which is likely to roll out next month.
