Phones And Tablets That May End Up Getting An Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Update

HTC One S
HTC One S was launched with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system. So we think HTC One S should get an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. HTC One S users will have to be patient though.
Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung Galaxy Note is amongst the most popular Samsung phones. So Samsung would try to appease it’s users by giving Galaxy Note an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. But some Galaxy Note users will have to wait patiently since their Galaxy Note is yet to receive ICS update.

HTC EVO 4G LTE
HTC EVO 4G LTE runs Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. So we think it should end up getting an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.
Acer Iconia Tab A500
Acer updated the Acer A500 with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. RandomBlame, a senior member of XDA-Developers’ forum, is the brilliant mind who ported Jelly Bean to Acer Iconia Tab A500 and what’s even more impressive is that he also played a pivotal role in the development of the two functional ROMs for the Galaxy S3 and One X. Therefore I think Acer may just end up giving Iconia Tab A500 an official Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.

Toshiba Excite 7.7 runs Ice Cream Sandwich as its operating system. Therefore Toshiba Excite 7.7 may end up getting an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.

Lots of people are asking me when will gadgets such as Sony Xperia S, Sony Xperia P, Sony Tablet S, Sony Tablet P, HTC Sensation XE, HTC Sensation XL, Motorola Droid Bionic, Motorola Droid 4, Motorola Atrix 2, LG Optimus 2X and HTC EVO 3D get an Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update. We will have to wait for an answer as Handset makers HTC, Sony Mobile (formerly Sony Ericsson), and LG have not confirmed when Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update will be available for their respective smartphones. But do not get disappointed if you do not get an official Jelly Bean update as XDA-Developers is always there to help you.
