As revealed by SamMobile, the insider recently tipped the website about the upcoming plans of Samsung and as to which devices are in Samsung’s list to get a new refresh update.
As revealed, Samsung will update the Galaxy S2 and Note to Android 4.2.2 and this will be the last update for these devices. What this means is that both the Galaxy S2 and Note, which received an update from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 to 4.1.2, will finally stop at Android version 4.2.2.
