Android 4.1 Jellybean is expected to be unveiled at the Google I/O 2012

Google's new version of Android 4.1 Jellybean is expected to be unveiled at the Google I/O 2012 developer conference next week. The good news though is that the Galaxy Nexus does appear to be the first handset to receive the update to Android 4.1, with the Google Play entry in question suggesting that the update will arrive ‘soon.’ With Google I/O just days away, rumors have been abound that Jelly Bean will be announced at the event. Google’s policy has always been to get new updates out to Nexus devices first, while carriers and OEMs add their software and skins to the update prior to pushing it out to their own devices. It has always been the main reason to plump for a Nexus device when choosing a new Android smartphone, and it seems Google is continuing its release trend.
The information is seen on the listing for the smartphone in the store, along with an image showing a slightly redesigned search bar and app launcher. We will have to wait for Google's official unveiling of Android 4.1 for more details than what we see here, however.
